Road construction and management in bamboo forest area of Anji county, Zhejiang province had four development stages, including spontaneous construction, encouraged construction, transformation and upgrading, high standard construction. By the end of 2021, the total length of roads in bamboo forest ...

Hydrothermal pretreatment (HT) is an effective method to upgrade biochar pellets, while little attention is paid to wood vinegar (WV), the byproduct of biochar pellets production. Therefore, Chinese fir sawdust (FS) and cotton stalk (CS) were hydrothermally pretreated first at 180-280°C and then...

Objective: Pore is one of the important characteristics of wood identification. Aiming at the problems of poor robustness of pore segmentation due to random distribution and different sizes of pores and the impact of noise such as wood fiber, wood ray and axial parenchyma on the segmentation effect ...

In order to classify the decay levels of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) wood components in arcade buildings in the ancient town Chikan and to provide basic data for future protection measures, the extent of decay of the samples was determined via polarized light, fluorescence, and...

To investigate the plate behavior of parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL) plates, flexural experiments on four groups of PBSL plates with fiber direction changing from 7.5° to 45° were performed. All of these PBSL plates have progressive failure process, developing from initial matrix tensile...

High-performance, water-resistant soy protein isolate-based adhesives have broad applications in the plywood manufacturing industry. However, they tend to be difficult to industrialize due to many hydrophilic groups in the molecular chain of soy protein. This paper proposes a facile, economic, and...

Using cold-formed thin-walled steel and glulam as materials, a new type of box-section cold-formed thin-walled steel-glued wood composite beam was constructed by using glulam to wrap the cold-formed thin-walled steel. The finite element software ABAQUS was used to establish 5 groups of 10 composite ...

Bamboo is an important forest resource in China. It is widely distributed in China, especially in the south, and its area and output rank first in the world. Although the bamboo industry has developed vigorously in recent years, a large part of small-diameter bamboo and moso bamboo processing...

Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) is the most widely distributed pine species in China, and also an important pioneer tree species and a main commercial species in southern China. This paper described the wood property characteristic of Masson pine in terms of physical and mechanical properties, ...

Bamboo is the most utilized non-wood biomass in China. One of its most important applications is in the pulp and paper industry. In such an application, one of the significant challenges is decreasing the silica dissolution in the pulping process. In this study, the use of sodium metaaluminate...
