This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood-destroying fungi play an important role in nature, because they are the only forms of life capable of reducing wood to its initial constituents. However, they can also be dangerous for people and property, as they can impair the stability and fracture-safety of trees. This book gives detailed information, based on new and original scientfic findings, on the examination and effects of the most important species of fungi associated with failure of infected urban trees. In addition, new ways are presented for predicting the advance of decay in the living tree. The subject is illustrated and made easily accessible by numerous colored photos of fungus fruit bodies, defect symptoms, and macroscopic and microscopic pictures of wood decay. A detailed introduction to the fundamentals of wood pathology provides a way into the subjects of applied mycology and tree care for readers without previous special knowledge. Francis W.M.R. Schwarze, National Diploma of Arboriculture at Merrist Wood College, UK (1991), Master of Science in Pure, Applied Plant and Fungal Taxonomy, University of Reading, UK (1992), doctorate at Freiburg University (1995), since 1996 assistant at the Institute for Forest Botany and Tree Physiology at Freiburg University, concentrating on research into wood-destroying fungi and host-fungus interactions.

Download or read book Wood and Tree Fungi written by Olaf Schmidt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date overview of the various wood and tree fungi that damage trees, lumber, and timber. Special focus is given to identification, prevention, and remediation techniques, and the book bridges the gap between research and application. It covers the fundamentals of cytology and morphology. There is a more practical section describing damage by viruses and bacteria on trees. The habitats of wood fungi are described as well as tree care. Important tree pathogens and wood decay fungi are characterized for prevention and identification. The final section focuses on the positive effects of wood-inhabiting microorganisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is specifically designed to help those who diagnose diseases of trees to determine if the specific fungal disease found is known to lead to failures of limbs or trunks. Falling limbs and trunks can lead to injury of people or property, or can disrupt services. This book was written by several forest pathology experts at the University of Florida. It offers easy to understand text and clear full-color photographs and descriptions of 89 of the most common tree fungi found in Florida and the Southeast United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sequence of changes observed microscopically that occurred in wood throughout successive stages of decay was studied in the sapwood of a hardwood, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.), and of a softwood, southern pine (Pinus sp.). The fungi used were Polyporus versicolor L. ex Fr., a white-rot fungus, and Poria monticola Murr., a brown-rot fungus. Light microscopy, plus the techniques of polarization and ultraviolet-absorption microscopy, was used to make the observations on sections 4 microns thick cut from celloidin-embedded specimens.

Download or read book A Photo Guide to the Patterns of Discoloration and Decay in Living Northern Hardwood Trees written by Alex L. Shigo and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2This guide has been prepared to help you estimate the extent and severity of discoloration and decay in northern hardwood trees. Though this certainly is not the last word on the subject, our research in this has progressed to the point where our findings, combined with the findings of others, can be put to practical use. By dissecting living trees and studying the organisms that infect them, we now know that discoloration and decay develop in certain definite patterns. And the patterns of discoloration and decay within the tree can be predicted from external signs. Discoloration and decay are the most serious defects of northern hardwood trees. In speaking of defect, we must distinguish between injury and damage. Injury harms the tree: damage lowers the quality of the wood. For example, a disease like vascular wilt may kill the tree but do no damage to the wood. But an insect like the cambium miner may do very little harm to the tree yet do great damage to the wood. The unseen damage done to a tree is important in the economics of forestry. Every operation in growing a tree, harvesting it, and converting it into products costs time and money. And after all the time and money have been spent on a tree, the product made from it may prove to be not worth the effort; and the tree might have been used more profitably for some other product that does not require high-quality wood. The increased use of veneer offers an illustration. A veneer log brings top prices. But its actual value may not become apparent till it is put on a lathe and peeled. A log that looks very good and sound to the core, may have minute streaks of discoloration scattered all through it, so that all the veneer it produces is badly streaked with defects. On the other hand, a log that has a rotten core surrounded by clear wood may produce the highest quality of veneer. So it is not so important how much discoloration and decay a tree has, but when these defects are in a tree. The pattern of the discoloration and decay- that's the important thing.S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Wood Decay: Laboratory Tests on the Relative Durability of Some Western Coniferous Woods, With Particular Reference to Those Growing in Idaho Although information concerning the durability of the various American species of wood is rather meagre, Humphrey 2 conducted tests on both the heart and sap wood of a representa tive list of American woods. The results of these experiments were based upon single specimens of each sample of wood and may, therefore, not even be indicative of the relative durability of the various species tested and since many of the specimens became too wet for a fair test, comparisons between his results and those recorded here would be of very little value. The painstaking work of Zeller 3' 4, 5 marks the beginning of a new era in investigations dealing with the durability of wood. Altho our results are not entirely in accordance with those found by him, it should be remembered that the species of pine investigated in the present study belong to different groups While those studied by Zeller all fall in the hard pine group.
