Improving the Performance of Western Wood Species

Purpose

This test will evaluate the performance of 6 western wood species treated with CCA. Stakes will be driven into the ground and will be inspected on an annual basis for degrees of attack compared to untreated controls. Where failure occurs chemical analy

Radial Gradients of axial flow in hardwoods

Purpose

The knowledge of how trees work has been researched for many years, but due to their complexity there are still many questions to answer. Little research has been conducted related to sapwood structures that link the radial water movement and its contrib
