Experimental method to quantify progressive stages of decay of wood by basidiomycete fungi.
Journal Article
Curling, S. F., Clausen, C. A., Winandy, J. E., & Curling, S. (2002)
Experimental method to quantify progressive stages of decay of wood by basidiomycete fungi. International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 49(1), 13-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0964-8305%2801%2900101-9
A biological exposure method was developed that allows wood samples to be progressively removed for monitoring colonization and decay by basidiomycete fungi. Monitoring involv...
Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay.
Journal Article
Curling, S., Clausen, C. A., & Winandy, J. E. (2002)
Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay. Forest Products Journal, 52, 34-39
Incipient decay of wood by brown-rot fungi causes measurable strength losses in wood before measurable weight loss occurs. Previous studies have shown that the high levels of ...
