The ecosystem services of forests, such as the water conservation function, are the combined results of diverse processes, and the modification of one part of a forest affects each ecosystem service separately via complex processes. It is necessary to de...

Surface carbonization, or charring, of wooden cladding boards is a promising, low impact process that can substitute inorganic coatings. The char surface is inert and hydrophobic and possibly a long-lasting solution for exterior uses. To determine the pe...

Thermal modification (TM) improves the hydrophobicity, dimensional stability, and durability of wood, but TM commonly results in severe color change and mechanical strength loss as wood is treated at higher temperature. In this study, Pterocarpus macroca...
