Natural durability of wood : a worldwide checklist of species

Creator:

Scheffer, T. C., Morrell, Jeffrey J., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory

Abstract:

Naturally durable woods have a variety of commercial uses. Natural resistance to decay has been evaluated in field and laboratory tests of wood from many species, but there are few places where commercial wood users can find comparative assessments of natural durability. In this report, previous studies have been used...
