Wood science [1] is the scientific field which predominantly studies and investigates elements associated with the formation, the physical and chemical composition, and the macro- and microstructure of wood as a bio-based and lignocellulosic material.
InsideWood is an online resource and database for wood anatomy, serving as a reference, research, and teaching tool. Wood anatomy is a sub-area within the discipline of wood science. [1] [2] This freely accessible database is purely scientific and noncommercial.
The function of the IWSc was to provide a forum for the timber trade and timber research to come together, thereby furthering wood science and technology to the wider community. It provided recognised education and training qualifications in wood science and technology through courses and examinations. Membership grades [10] were:
Dendrology (Ancient Greek: δένδρον, dendron, "tree"; and Ancient Greek: -λογία, -logia, science of or study of) or xylology (Ancient Greek: ξύλον, ksulon, "wood") is the science and study of woody plants (trees, shrubs, and lianas), specifically, their taxonomic classifications. [1]
Wood is a structural tissue/material found as xylem in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants.It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression.
There are several databases relating to wood anatomy. One of them, InsideWood, is an online resource and database for wood anatomy, serving as a reference, research, and teaching tool. [13] [14] This database was created by several international researchers, members of the IAWA, mostly botanists, biologists and wood scientists. [15]
In 2015, he was elected as a chaired professor at Wood Science and Engineering division of Lulea University of Technology, in Skellefteå, where he worked until September 2024. His main research interests include, among others, wood material properties, scanning technology and wood machining, as well as the production systems. [6]
The International Wood Products Journal is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of wood science, engineering, and technology. It is currently published by Sage Journals on behalf of the Wood Technology Society (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) and the editor-in-chief is Gervais Sawyer and the associate editor is Carmen-Mihaela Popescu.
