Abstract Accurate and rapid wood species identification is vital for wood utilization and trade. This goal is achievable with the fast development of deep learning (DL). Several studies have been published related to this topic; however, they were limited by their generalization performance in practical applications. Therefore, this study proposed a DL multimodal fusion framework to bridge this gap. The study utilized a state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) to simultaneously extract both short-wavelength near-infrared (NIR) spectra and RGB image feature, fully leveraging the advantages of both data types. Using portable devices for collecting spectra and image data enhances the feasibility of onsite rapid identification. In particular, a two-branch CNN framework was developed to extract spectra and image features. For NIR spectra feature extraction, 1 dimensional NIR (1D NIR) spectra were innovatively encoded as 2 dimensional (2D) images using the Gramian angular difference field (GADF) method. This representation enhances better data alignment with CNN operations, facilitating more robust discriminative feature extraction. Moreover, wood’s spectral and image features were fused at the full connection layer for species identification. In the experimental phase conducted on 16 difficult-to-distinguish wood samples from the Lauraceae family, all achieved identification metrics results exceed 99 %. The findings illustrate that the proposed multimodal fusion framework effectively extracts and fully integrates the wood’s features, thereby, improving wood species identification.

Abstract Microscopic lab-based X-ray computed tomography (XµCT) aided finite element (FE) modelling is a popular method with increasing nature within material science to predict local material properties of heterogeneous materials, e.g. elastic, hygroexpansion and diffusion. This method is relatively new to wood and lacks a clear methodology. Research intended to optimise the XµCT aided FE process often focuses on specific aspects within this process such as the XµCT scanning, segmentation or meshing, but not the entirety of the process. The compatibility and data transfer between aspects have not been investigated to the same extent, which creates errors that propagate and negatively impact the end results. In the current study, a methodology for the XµCT aided FE process of wood is suggested and its bottlenecks are identified based on a thorough literature review. Although the complexity of wood as a material makes it difficult to automate the XµCT aided FE process, the proposed methodology can assist in a more considered design and execution of this process. The main challenges that were identified include an automatic procedure to reconstruct the fibre orientation and to perform segmentation and meshing. A combined deep-learning segmentation method with geometry-based meshing can be suggested.

Abstract The European Deforestation Regulation 2023/1115 (EUDR) prohibits trading of wood and wood products obtained from illegal logging on the EU market. While the identification of solid wood via anatomy, chemistry and genetics has already been established, there is a lack of identification methods for pulp and paper that complement anatomy. This publication presents a newly developed chemotaxonomic method for identifying mixed tropical hardwood (MTH) species in pulp and paper products based on their extractives analyzed with thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). The measured data was processed and compared to identify marker substances and was then merged into a fingerprint database for identifying MTH species in paper of unknown composition. As database references, fully bleached kraft pulps were produced from 38 anatomically identified wood samples and then cryo-ball milled and extracted successively with n -hexane and acetone. The results show that the remaining wood extractives generated from bleached pulps are specific enough to find chemical relevant marker substances to detect MTH species. As chemical composition and anatomy are independent characteristics of wood, this paper makes a completely independent method available, which potentially improves the screening for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) protected species.

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the uptake of castor oil (CAO) in some wood specimens and the effect of CAO on the leaching ability, dimensional stability and fungal-decay resistance of the wood specimens. CAO was infused into the specimens using a pressure treatment. Uptakes of CAO penetrated in yellow poplar (YEP), Japanese cedar (JAC) and Douglas fir (DOF) blocks were higher than 100 %. The leaching ability of the CAO-based suspensions against saline water was the lowest in YEP, followed by Japanese larch (LAR), JAC and DOF. The retention values were 90 % or higher in most of the specimens. Radial and tangential swellings of CAO-treated strips submerged in saline water for 2 weeks were restrained compared to control specimens. No significant differences were found between bending strength and Janka hardness of CAO-treated and control strips. CAO treatment provided acceptable decay resistance to most wood specimens against Fomitopsis palustris and Trametes versicolor . Retention of CAO in the leached strips were identified through X-ray microscopic observation. Based on the results, CAO was determined to be an effective agent for improving the dimensional stability of wood. These results demonstrate the great potential of CAO as an environmentally friendly wood preservative and dimensional stabilizer, allowing CAO-permeated wood as raw materials for both indoor and outdoor use.

Abstract This study involved analysing the carbon-13 isotope ratio (δ 13 C) of cellulose, lignin, and whole wood powder of Balanites aegyptiaca to determine the optimal substrate for future ecophysiological studies. From seven different trees (i.e., three from the Sudanian zone and four from the Chadian Sahelian zone), 21 samples were taken for this study. Identical variation trends were observed with cellulose, lignin, and whole wood powder, with δ 13 C values for cellulose always higher than for the other substrates, although the trees were located under different climatic conditions. The means obtained were −26.0 ‰, −28.7 ‰, and −27.1 ‰, for cellulose, lignin, and whole wood powder, respectively. Spearman’s correlation test, which was used to analyse relationships between the results, revealed a strong correlation ( r 2 = 0.93) between the δ 13 C cellulose values and those of whole wood powder from B . aegyptiaca , as well as between the δ 13 C cellulose values and those of lignin ( r 2 = 0.73). This strong correlation between cellulose and wood powder results, and between cellulose and lignin, suggests that the isolation of cellulose is not necessary for δ 13 C analysis of B . aegyptiaca wood.

Abstract With the growing risk of fungal degradation in timber-framed structures from significant moisture intrusion events due to climate change, it is increasingly critical to develop mechanistic relationships between fungal degradation mechanisms and the strength of untreated wood components. While extensive work has been performed characterizing wood decay, no study has yet addressed the effects of Meruliporia incrassata on untreated Southern Yellow Pine. This seeks to address this knowledge gap by evaluating the effects of the common brown rot fungus on an ubiquitous building material in the southeast United States – Southern Yellow Pine. Properties of Southern Yellow Pine were evaluated at seven decay stages over the course of 12 weeks of exposure to M. incrassata . Changes in physical properties – mass, density, and moisture content – were measured at each stage. Changes in stiffness were characterized via ultrasonic pulse velocity testing, and thermogravimetric analysis was utilized to assess compositional changes. The study found rapid and significant losses in stiffness at decay stages as early as four-weeks. Hemicellulose and cellulose degradation occurred steadily throughout the decay period. These results can be utilized to develop a stronger understanding of the mechanical behavior of timber-framed structures in the United States degraded by brown rot.

Abstract Natural durability is one of the most rated features in wood end-use applications. In fact, several precious native tropical wood species produce timber of high natural durability, which is also related to long service life even for the highest hazard classes. However, selective logging is driving the existing volume of this group of species to near extinction. The remainder of the alternative species produces perishable timbers, which require synthetic chemical protection to prolong their service life but with detrimental effects on humans and the environment. Therefore, transferable durability has emerged as an alternative to gradually substitute traditional wood preservatives. From this approach, extractives from naturally durable wood species are removed and transferred to the non-durable wood species as an alternative environmental-friendly option for wood protection. Indeed, extractives from durable wood species have proven to have a deterrent effect on fungi, bacteria and termites and could be used to protect perishable wood species. Thus, this review aims to assess the prospects of developing environmentally friendly wood preservatives based on extractives sourced from highly natural, durable wood species to treat and add value to the group of perishable timbers. A step-wise analysis offers insights and challenges on (i) potential sources of extractives; (ii) effective extraction methods; (iii) extractive-based preservative formulation; and (iv) effective treatment methods for better preservative fixation for better wood protection. Accounts about the way forward for the development of extractive-based wood preservatives are also presented.

Abstract Flame-retardant impregnation and densification are two major modification techniques to improve the fire safety of wood. Here, these two techniques were combined to prepare flame-retarded wood, aiming at further fire hazard reduction. The delignated Pinus sylvestris L. was impregnated with boric acid (BA) and graphene oxide (GO) solutions, then densified to prepare densified flame-retarded wood named BGO-DW sample. The results revealed that the BGO-DW sample obtained a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 47.4 %. Its backside temperature after 1200 s heating was 49 % lower than that of unmodified wood. Besides, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) values of BGO-DW sample were 72 and 62 % lower than those of unmodified wood due to its shorter pyrolysis interval and lower peak mass loss rate (PMLR), as supported by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The flame retardancy of BGO-DW sample could be attributed to the formation of compatible char containing C=C aromatic structure, C–O–C cross-linked structure, and boron trioxide (B2O3) structure. These features of BGO-DW sample offer a new method to improve thermal stability, heat insulation, and flame retardancy for wood and wood-based products.

Abstract The combination of computer technology and non-destructive testing technology can facilitate the development of forestry in a more intelligent direction. In this paper, a Shapley additive explanations (SHAP)-based method is used to analyse the importance of band features in the near-infrared spectrum of black walnut wood, which ranges from 900 to 1650 nm. The spectral data from the SHAP analysis are fed into an integrated framework of machine learning algorithms based on four different theories. In the comparison tests, three different pre-processed NIR spectral data are entered into the integrated framework. The result of the SHAP analysis shows that the wavelengths that are positively correlated with the air-dry density of black walnut are 1354.59, 1400.23, 1341.51, 1426.26, 1413.25 nm. The model predictions show that the SHAP-treated spectral data outperformed the other two treatments for each model. For the SHAP-treated spectral data, the KNN model gives the best results with an R2 of 0.947 and an MSE of 0.0010.
