    Department of Forest Service Hardwoods: A Rev Southern Forest Experiment Station New Orleans, Louisiana General Technical Report SO-71 Terry Sellers, Jr., James R. McSween, and William T. Nearn Over a period of years, increasing demand for softwoods in the Eastern United States has led to an increase in the growth of hardwoods on cut-over softwood sites. tinfortunately these hardwood trees are often of a size and shape unsuitable for the production of high-grade lumber and veneer. They do. however. represent a viable. economic source of raw material for plywood, fiberboard, particleboard. and oriented strandboard lor flakeboards), all products that require the successful use of adhesives in their manufacture. The current status of gluing eastern hardwoods is reviewed in this report, with emphasis on hardwoods growing on southern pine sites. The subjects covered include adhesives, wood and wood-surface properties and their interactions with the adhesive, and the quality of the bonds produced when these hardwoods are used in the manufacture of end joints, laminates, plywood, and other composite panels. A variety of adhesives are available that equal or exceed the strength of the hardwoods being bonded. The choice of a particular adhesive is dictated in large measure by the adhesive price and the end-use criteria for the finished product. In discussing the gluing of eastern hardwoods, the approach taken is that the fundamentals that determine the quality of an adhesive bond should remain the same whether the substrate is a softwood or a low-, medium-, or high-density hardwood. To illustrate the differences encountered in gluing the various hardwood species and the best approach for dealing with them in terms of bonding fundamentals, in this report we will concex~trateon: The quality and character of the surface as aflected by wood structure.

    LINEAR EXPANSION OF WOOD COMPOSITES: A MODEL Wei Xu Research Associate and Otto Suchsland Professor Emeritus Department of Forestry Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824-1222 (Received October 1996) ABSTRACT An analytical model was developed to better understand and predict linear expansion of woc~d composite panels. The model analysis was based on the assumption of elasticity and of uniform directional distribution of linear expansion. Monte Carlo simulation of the model required inputs 'of modulus of elasticity of solid wood, linear expansion values of solid wood, particle size distribution, and orientation distribution of particles. The simulation showed, as expected, that lower density wood species resulted in lower linear e c- pansion of the composite panel. In single-layer oriented strandboard, linear expansion in the orientation direction decreased gradually as percent alignment increased, but increased rapidly across the one I- tation direction especially when percent alignment exceeded 40-60%. Finally, simulation results were compared with the results of experimental linear expansion studi1:s drawn from the literature. The agreement was encouraging.

  • Juglandaceae (Walnuts)
    A start for archaeological Nutters: some edible nuts for archaeologists. By Dorian Q Fuller 24.10.2007 Institute of Archaeology, University College London A “nut” is an edible hard seed, which occurs as a single seed contained in a tough or fibrous pericarp or endocarp. But there are numerous kinds of “nuts” to do not behave according to this anatomical definition (see “nut-alikes” below). Only some major categories of nuts will be treated here, by taxonomic family, selected due to there ethnographic importance or archaeological visibility.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • Juglans Cinerea L
    R E S E A R C H A R T I C L E ABSTRACT: To mitigate the loss of native tree species threatened by non-native pathogens, managers need to better understand the conservation status of remaining populations and the conditions that favor successful regeneration. Populations of Juglans cinerea L. (butternut), a wide-ranging riparian species, • have been devastated by butternut canker, a disease caused by a non-native fungal pathogen. We as- sessed J. cinerea within Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) to determine post-disease survivorship and health, recruitment history, environmental conditions associated with survival, and the Conservation Status extent of hybridization with a non-native congener. Monitoring records were used to locate and collect data for 207 J. cinerea trees in 19 watersheds. Tree cores were collected from a subset of individuals to of a Threatened Tree assess recruitment history. We sampled vegetation plots within areas that contained J. cinerea to assess site conditions and overstory species composition of characteristic habitat. We collected leaf samples for Species: Establishing genetic analysis to determine the frequency of hybridization. Our reassessment of monitoring records suggests that J. cinerea abundance in GSMNP has declined due to butternut canker and thirty years of a Baseline for poor regeneration. Populations displayed continuous recruitment following Park establishment (1934) until around 1980, after which regeneration declined drastically. Ordination analysis revealed that J. Restoration of Juglans cinerea in the contemporary forest was associated with greater distance from homesites and reduced basal area of competing species.
