Download or read book Chemical Mechanical and Durability Properties of Mountain Pine Beetle Infested Timber written by John F. Kadla and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To mitigate the impact of the mountain pine beetle epidemic on the British Columbia forest products sector, an understanding of the relationship between wood quality and time since infestation is needed. The proposed research project deals with the chemical and mechanical properties of mountain pine beetle-infested wood at various stages of attack. Using dynamic mechanical (DMA), and morphological (X-ray) analyses, the effect of mountain pine beetle on various wood components was determined and related to chemical composition. This report looks into the impact of the mountain pine beetle on the British Columbia forests and the outcomes of the analyses used.--Includes text from document.
Download or read book Addressing Marketplace Durability Issues with Post mountain Pine Beetle Lodgepole Pine written by Anthony Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of three reports addressing market durability issues with products made from lodgepole pine that has been affected by mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestation. The first report describes the establishment of accelerated field tests to determine the decay resistance of blue-stained post-MPB lodgepole pine sapwood and non-stained sapwood with reference samples of Scots pine sapwood. The second is a comparative technical review of the nature of blue stain in post-MPB wood and the differences between blue stain, mould, and decay. The final report answers frequently asked questions about blue stain on Canadian wood products, including whether it affects construction-related properties.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report highlights past delivery of the land-based programs and progress of mountain pine beetle research during 2003 & 2004 by the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative, a six-year program established to address the mountain pine beetle epidemic in western Canada and to reduce the risk of future such epidemics. After an introduction on the epidemic and the Initiative, the report summarizes the accomplishments of the Private Forestlands Rehabilitation Program, the Federal Forestlands Rehabilitation Program (First Nations, National Parks, and Other Federal Forestlands components), and the research & development program (including research on ecology, forest economics, socio-economic processes & risk reduction). Finally, the next steps in the land-based and research & development programs are discussed.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general objective of this study was to supplement through data analysis the development of a quality assessment protocol for post-mountain pine beetle (MPB) wood that is consistent with standard North American procedures for testing and evaluating commercial structural lumber. The specific data analysis objectives were to determine the usefulness and limitations of existing data collected in past pan-Canadian cross sectional studies and how they may be used to assist in developing regional longitudinal programs. The second objective was to extract existing data on MPB-relevant characteristics from industry databases relevant to their frequency, and severity relative to grade rules. The techniques developed in this analysis are expected to form part of the evaluation framework of the quality assessment protocol.--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Exporters of lumber and logs are obligated by Canadian law to apply approved treatments for phytosanitary purposes. Heating to 56°C for at least 30 minutes in a kiln or heating chamber (56/30) is the most common treatment used for lumber and is also an internationally accepted method to treat wood packaging in order to eradicate pests of concern. This time/temperature combination was originally developed to eradicate pinewood nematodes and their insect vectors. Questions have arisen in the marketplace about the efficacy of such treatment against fungal pests, and recently for those associated with mountain pine beetle-affected lodgepole pine. This project looked into the effectiveness of several time/temperature combinations, in particular whether 56/30 kills a selection of mountain pine beetle associated fungi including bluestain fungi (nine isolates), Ambrosiella fungi (three isolates) and sap-rot fungi (six isolates) ... Additionally, this project determined to what extent air-drying and wood aging reduced the viability of embedded fungi and if slow drying rendered the fungi more heat tolerant."--Document.
