Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current forest scenario, where the quantity and quality of wood are scarce and climate change is a reality, contributing greatly to an ever-increasing risk of forest fires and an increase in pests and diseases, valuing all resources is critical. It is therefore imperative to learn to do more with less; for that, it is necessary to increase productivity and add value to natural resources, consuming less raw material and thus being in perfect alignment with the objectives of the circular economy.
The use of wood for the development of construction products adds value to the original raw material by promoting a use that will contribute to an increase in carbon retention.
This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of Wood Quality and Wood Processing.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Wood quality;
- Wood natural durability;
- Wood industrial processing;
- Wood drying and densification;
- Wood-based products.
Dr. Sofia Knapic
