Decay susceptibility of wood in defoliated fir trees related to changing physical, chemical, and biological properties

Studies of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of wood from balsam fir trees indicated that as cambial electrical resistance increased in defoliated trees, the susceptibility of wood to decay appeared to increase. Increased susceptibility of wood to decay was associated with decreasing...

Zusammenfassung:Studies of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of wood from balsam fir trees indicated that as cambial electrical resistance increased in defoliated trees, the susceptibility of wood to decay appeared to increase. Increased susceptibility of wood to decay was associated with decreasing electrical resistance of wood as the tree lost its capacity to compartmentalize decaying wood.
