| Description: |
Wood Deterioration and Preservation: Advances in Our Changing World discusses the biodegradation mechanisms by which decay fungi, termites, and marine borers attack wood and how wood products can be protected from these organisms. This book links wood deterioration mechanisms to free radical generation, which can aid in the development of both new and relatively safe wood protection systems. |
| Synopsis: |
In recent years considerable progress has been made in elucidating wood decay mechanisms. This basic knowledge not only has the potential to develop alternative environmentally-benign wood preservatives, but may also impact other areas such as bioremediation and pulp and paper. This book will summarize the latest knowledge of the developments, potential impacts, and applications from some of the world's leading experts. |
