DOI: 10.1007/s00107-017-1245-0
Abstract: Urea formaldehyde (UF) resin-impregnated Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.)Hook.) was dried at different temperatures in an atmospheric pressure superheated steam dryer. Drying characteristics, moisture content, drying rate, temperature profile, drying defects, and color change were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00374-019-01389-0
Abstract: Tree performance in mixed-species forest plantations is ultimately the net result of positive and negative interactions among species. Despite increasing knowledge of interspecific interactions, relatively little is known about the chemical mechanisms mediating such interactions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-020-04539-8
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) application is often known to influence various properties in Chinese fir growth, but the regeneration failure and productivity decline in Chinese fir plantations are often affected by allelochemical compounds. Little is known about… read more here.
