Changes were evaluated in cell wall components, hygroscopicity, and thermodynamic properties of Pinus sylvestris L. wood that had been in contact with salt (NaCl) for 300 years in a former saltworks storehouse in Gerri de la Sal (Lérida, Spain), comparing it with recently felled wood (new wood) of the same species […]
24. El bosque español y su industria de primera transformación
Puede afirmarse que la conservación y recuperación de los bosques primarios dependerá, en gran medida, del binomio que forman las plantaciones y la industria de primera transformación. Las plantaciones, por sí mismas, no son ni buenas ni malas. La cualidad que las definirá será la administración que se haga de tales recursos. […]

Particleboard panels are normally manufactured in three layers of different sized particles of wood. One of the most important properties of particleboard is internal bond. This study determined the thickness and the physical properties of swelling, water absorption and density of 300 type P2 particleboards, as well as tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board […]

The hygroscopicity and thermodynamic properties of Pinus canariensis wood buried in volcanic ash, dating from 1100 BC, were studied and compared with recently felled juvenile and mature wood of the same species. The sorption isotherms were obtained by the saturated salt method at 35 and 50 ºC. The isotherms were fitted using the Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer model […]

The hygroscopic properties of Pinus pinea L. wood at 35 and 50ºC were investigated by the dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) technique. The sorption kinetic behaviour was studied through the parallel exponential kinetics (PEK) model, which is subdivided into a fast and a slow process. The parameters obtained by PEK were interpreted based on the Kelvin-Voigt (KV) model to […]

Application of artificial neural networks as a predictive method to differentiate the wood of Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus nigra Arn subsp. salzmannii (Dunal) Franco. Wood Science and Technology. 51(3):517-534.
The wood structure of conifers in general and the Pinus genus in particular makes species differentiation by traditional qualitative or quantitative methods complicated or even impossible at times. Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus nigra Arn subsp. salzmannii (Dunal) Franco are a clear example of this because they cannot be differentiated by traditional methods […]

Several methods are available for obtaining the sorption isotherms of wood. Among these, the saturated salt and dynamic vapor sorption methods are the most frequently used ones. For the first time, the hygroscopic response of wood obtained using these two methods is compared. This is done by determining the 35 and 50 °C adsorption isotherms of juvenile […]

Wood anatomy is one of the tools used for taxonomic classification of species. By combining this tool with molecular phylogeny, the current groupings made in morphological studies can be discussed. This study describes the wood anatomy of the monotypic genera of Cupressaceae and analyses the features that could represent synapomorphies of the principal clades recovered by molecular phylogeny […]

The sorption isotherms of limba (Terminalia superba Engl. & Diels), obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon K.Schum.), radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) and chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), were plotted at 15 ºC, 35 ºC and 50 ºC. The curves were fitted using the Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model. The thermodynamic properties […]

The wood anatomy of 14 species of Cupressus was studied to determine whether there is a pattern of wood anatomical diversity between the species from the North and Central American (western) region and the Eurasian (eastern) region. Xanthocyparis vietnamensis and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (syn. Xanthocyparis nootkatensis) were also studied to compare […]
