  1. 21. Impact of forest management on the diversity of wood decaying fungi : A comparison between two closely related forests in southern Sweden

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Johanna Sollén Mattsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Boreal forests; Forest management; Forestry; Natural forests; Wood decaying fungi;

    Abstract : Modern forestry practices have negative effects on many organisms because they change the forest’s disturbance dynamics, makes the forest’s structure less complex, and fragments old-growth forests. This study examined how commercial forestry practices affect the diversity of wood-decaying fungi, by comparing two closely related forests with different management in Östergötland, Sweden.

  4. 23. Axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : Fire tests in furnace and numerical calculations in TASEF of different screw mounting variations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Henrik Pettersson; Emma Wiklund; [2022]
    Keywords : Fire; wood; screw joints; strength; temperature; TASEF; Brand; trä; skruvförband; bärförmåga; temperatur; TASEF;

    Abstract : To achieve sufficient stability of a structure in a fire scenario, a thorough design of joints in wooden structures are as important as the design of the construction itself. As an earlier study points out, there are no existing design method available to determine the load capacity of an axially loaded screw joint in wooden structures, which complicate the process of a thorough design of the joint in a fire scenario.
