We report on a wind-tunnel study with 1 : 75 scale model trees designed to examine the influence of canopy structure on the formation of turbulent gusts above forests. This was to test the hypothesis that more irregular canopy structures produce less... Read More about The stability of different silvicultural systems: a wind tunnel investigation..

An inexpensive instrument to measure the dynamic response of standing trees to wind loading (2005)
Journal Article
Moore, J. R., Gardiner, B. A., Blackburn, G. R. A., Brickman, A., & Maguire, D. A. (2005). An inexpensive instrument to measure the dynamic response of standing trees to wind loading. Agricultural and forest meteorology, 132(1-2), 78-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2005.07.007

A relatively inexpensive caliper type strain-gauge transducer was developed for measuring the dynamic behavior of tree stems and branches subjected to wind loading. Laboratory and field tests showed that the voltage signal produced by the transducer... Read More about An inexpensive instrument to measure the dynamic response of standing trees to wind loading.

New directions for NDT in forestry (2005)
Journal Article
Mackenzie, R., Smith, S., & Fairfield, C. A. (2005). New directions for NDT in forestry. Insight - Non-Destructive Testing & Condition Monitoring, 47(7), 416-420. https://doi.org/10.1784/insi.2005.47.7.416

The need for improved timber quality assessment is important to the forestry industry. Scotland's harvestable softwood population will reach the peak of its 50 year plantation cycle in 2020. Current mechanical grading results in waste and the underly... Read More about New directions for NDT in forestry.

An investigation of cell wall micropore blocking as a possible mechanism for the decay resistance of anhydride modified wood (2005)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Forster, S. C., Farahani, M. R. M., Hale, M. D. C., Ormondroyd, G. A., & Williams, G. R. (2005). An investigation of cell wall micropore blocking as a possible mechanism for the decay resistance of anhydride modified wood. International biodeterioration & biodegradation, 55(1), 69-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ibiod.2004.07.003

Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) sapwood was chemically modified with acetic, or hexanoic anhydride to a variety of weight percentage gains. The cell wall microporosity of the wood before and after chemical modification was determined using the technique...
