Modification of the growth habit of the softwood disfiguring fungus Ophiostome piceae by monoterpene vapors
Monoterpenes form part of the natural defenses against pathogenic fungi in conifers. As a result of exposure to kiln-drying, up to 50 percent of the monoterpene content of softwood timber […]

Moisture Changes in Oak and Hickory Fuel Chips on Roofed and Unroofed Louisiana Air-Drying Grounds as Affected By Pile Depth and Turning of Chips
Freshly cut whole-tree hickory chips had lower moisture content (MC) initially and dried more rapidly than those of southern red oak. Such chips spread during April 1981 in roofed trays […]
