The study is aimed to determine the resistance of fibreboards made of milled coconut (Cocos nucifera [L.]) husk and bonded with tannin adhesive (Coconut Fibreboards - CFB) against wood-destroying insects and fungi under laboratory and field conditions. Marine plywood (MPW) samples were included in...

This work aims to study the appearances of damage and the treatment of a wooden object. It isn't an archaeological piece, but it was very interesting to study this object because of the spread of a remarkable pattern of insect damage throughout all the parts of the statue. What type of insect that...

Biological damage due to material characteristics and climatic change poses serious threats to wooden cultural heritage objects in Korea. This study is a preliminary survey for the preparation of a conservation/management plan for Janggyeongpanjeon (depositories of the Tripitaka Koreana...

The aim of this study focussed on identifying chemical compounds (wood extractives) using different solvents, as well as their performance as a wood preservative against subterranean termites, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) attack. The source of wood extractives was from Palaquium gutta (Hook.f.)...

The protection and sustainability of forest assets is possible with planned production of forest products to lead to minimum loss. One of the products obtained from forests is the industrial wood, which is the most important raw material for many sectors. Thus, changes in industrial wood production ...

Intensive forestry is a threat to biodiversity, and therefore actions are made to mitigate this loss. The actions are, however, designed based on available knowledge about the requirements of species, and for saproxylic insects this concerns mainly Coleoptera, while the diverse but poorly known...

This book with five parts divided into 22 chapters reviews current research on balancing commercial use with the range of ecosystem services delivered by boreal and temperate forests. The chapters survey advances in understanding forest ecophysiology, including mechanisms of root and canopy...

Caterpillars are among the most consumed, traded and economically valuable edible insects in the tropics, where they are excellent sources of proteins and fats for many indigenous peoples. Despite their contribution to global food security, little is known about the species traded as well as their...

This study aims to analyze the cost of production and the financial feasibility of a forest honeybee business in the Kupang Regency. Research respondents are forest bee seekers with a 51-100 trees ownership scale. The sampling of respondents was determined by purposive sampling as many as 60...

Reliable drywood termite detection in structures is challenging but is critical for effective management. A microwave-based non-destructive method was evaluated for detecting termite activity. This study evaluated factors affecting the ability of this device to reliably detect Cryptotermes brevis...
