Determining density and moisture content of the European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) coarse woody debris from the secondary virgin forest Rajhenavski Rog

Measuring density of wood samples with mercury volumemeter is a standard throughout the world. To find out the reliability of another less toxic density measuring technique, samples were measured in a mercury medium and in a water medium as well. This study is a revision of the previously p...
