2. 1. Characterization, toxicity and treatment of wood leachate generated outdoors by the wood-based industry

   Author : Henric Svensson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Wood leachate; Log yard runoff; Stormwater; Toxicity; Artemia salina; Vibrio fischeri; Constructed wetlands; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood is a natural raw material, and would hardly be considered a risk to the environment. However, the handling of wood materials on an industrial scale has been shown to have a negative impact on water bodies that run-off from industrial sites that process wood-based materials.

4. 2. Fine stream wood : effects on drift and brown trout (Salmo trutta) growth and behaviour

   Author : Åsa Enefalk; Eva Bergman; Anders Nilsson; Stanley Gregory; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stream fish; wood; salmonid; trout; aquatic invertebrates; behaviour; sheltering; Biology; Biologi;

   Abstract : Stream ecosystems and their riparian zones have previously been regarded as two different ecosystems, linked through numerous reciprocal subsidies. Today, ecologists agree that the stream and the riparian zone should be regarded as one system, the stream-riparian ecosystem, which is characterised largely by the subsidies between land and water.

5. 3. Surface Densification of Solid Wood : Paving the Way Towards Industrial Implementation

   Author : Benedikt Neyses; Dick Sandberg; Alexander Pfriem; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : Surface densification of a piece of solid wood results in an increase in density and in hardness in the whole or a part of the densified material, and is one of the ways of improving the properties and value of low-density wood species. Despite efforts for many years, mass commercialisation of either bulk- or surface-densified wood products has not yet been achieved. READ MORE

6. 4. Chemical composition and machinability of selected wood species from Mozambique

   Author : Inácio Arnaldo Lhate; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The objectives of the current work were to carry out a survey on timber sector in Mozambique and to determine chemical, calorific and machinability features of selected species. Mozambican timber sector was described as dominated by selective harvesting practices on a few hardwood species out of 118 species growing in the forest with potential for industrial timber.

7. 5. Anatomy, drying behaviour and mechanical properties of lesser used wood species from Mozambique

   Author : Ernesto Uetimane Junior; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The study provides an overview of Mozambique timber sector, descriptive and comparative wood anatomy, drying experiments and interrelationships between mechanics, density and anatomical features of lesser used species from Mozambique. Exhaustive literature review described the timber sector as dominated by few hardwood species selectively harvested from a forest containing 118 potential wood species. READ MORE
