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.
Wood Material Science and Engineering is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of wood science, engineering, and technology. It is published by Taylor & Francis and the editor-in-chief is Dick Sandberg of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The journal was established in 2006.
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]
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:
LibreOffice Impress, one of the most popular free and open-source presentation programs. In computing, a presentation program (also called presentation software) is a software package used to display information in the form of a slide show. It has three major functions: [1] an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted
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.
The academy was first established on June 2, 1966, at the Centre Technique du Bois in Paris.. The development and establishment of the International Academy of Wood Science involved many people, but the key-person who had the idea of creating a wood academy was Professor Franz Gustav Kollmann, of the Wood Research and Technology at the University of Munich, Germany.
