Influence of Norway Spruce and European Larch Heartwood Ring-Width on Extractive Content and Durability

Norway spruce and European larch wood are among the most important species for construction applications in central Europe. In order to assess the influence of the ring-widths and presence of the extractives on the performance of these wood species against wood decays fungi, Soxlet extracted and non...

The results showed that ring-widths do not influence the performance of the spruce and larch heartwood against brown rot fungi in laboratory conditions, but on the other hand have influence on the performance of spruce wood in fi eld test setup. Additionally, extraction does not have an influence on the durability of spruce wood, but has an influence on the durability of larch wood.
