      Key message Volume predictions of sample trees are basic inputs for essential National Forest Inventory (NFI) estimates. The predicted volumes are rarely comparable among European NFIs because of country-specific dbh-thresholds ...
    • How much water can wood cell walls hold? A triangulation approach to determine the maximum cell wall moisture content 

      Thybring, Emil Engelund; Digaitis, Ramūnas; Nord-Larsen, Thomas; Beck, Greeley; Fredriksson, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-31)
      Wood is a porous, hygroscopic material with engineering properties that depend significantly on the amount of water (moisture) in the material. Water in wood can be present in both cell walls and the porous void-structure ...
