Biological Deterioration of Woods in Tropical Environments. Part 4. Long-Term Resistance to Terrestrial Fungi and Termites.
Abstract
The report describes the biodegradation of treated and untreated woods in the marine and terrestrial environments of the Panama Canal Zone. Presented are the final results of the terrestrial studies for exposure periods up to 13 years at three jungle exposure sites. One hundred fifteen natural woods and five wood preservatives are evaluated for resistance to subterranean termites and to above-ground and below-ground fungal decay. (Modified author abstract)
