  • Hardwoods: a Rev Southern Forest Experiment Station New Orleans, Louisiana General Technical Report SO-71 Terry Sellers, Jr., James R
    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.

  • Space, Habitat and Isolation Are the Key Determinants of Tree Colonization by the Carpenter Ant in Plantation Forests
    Article Space, Habitat and Isolation are the Key Determinants of Tree Colonization by the Carpenter Ant in Plantation Forests Adam Véle 1,2 and Jakub Horák 1,3,* 1 Department of Forest Protection and Entomology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21 Prague, Czech Republic 2 Forestry & Game Management Research Institute, Strnady 136, CZ-252 02 Jílovištˇe,Czech Republic 3 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Hradec Králové, Rokitanského 62, CZ-500 03 Hradec Králové, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 25 July 2019; Published: 27 July 2019 Abstract: Forest plantations are still often considered the antithesis of real nature. However, plantations can host many organisms. The problem is that some of the hosted species are regarded ad hoc as pests. The main aim of our paper was to study the carpenter ant (Camponotus ligniperdus) in windstorm habitats. We studied forests in East Bohemia, Czech Republic, and focused on the spatial distribution of snapped trees and the influence of selected forest characteristics on the incidence of ant nests. We found that the nests in the study area mainly occurred in Norway spruce, which is the most commercially important tree in the majority of Central Europe. More than one quarter of the snapped trees were inhabited by the ants. We found that nests exhibited a spatially autocorrelated pattern that differed on spatial scales. The most important characteristic of the host tree for determining carpenter ant nests was the presence of brown rot, and the majority of tree nests were isolated from forest openings.
