2. Porodaedalea pini - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porodaedalea_pini

   Porodaedalea pini, commonly known as the pine conk, [1] is a species of fungus in the family Hymenochaetaceae. It is a plant pathogen that causes tree disease commonly known as "red ring rot" or "white speck". This disease, extremely common in the conifers of North America, decays tree trunks, rendering them useless for lumber. [2]

3. Fatwood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwood

   The stump (and tap root) that is left in the ground after a tree has fallen or has been cut is the primary source of fatwood, as the resin-impregnated heartwood becomes hard and rot-resistant after the tree has died. Wood from other locations can also be used, such as the joints where limbs intersect the trunk.

4. Wood-decay fungus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-decay_fungus

   The best-known types are brown rot, soft rot, and white rot. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Each produce different enzymes, can degrade different plant materials, and can colonise different environmental niches. [ 6 ] Brown rot and soft rot both digest a tree's cellulose and hemicellulose but not its lignin; white rot digests lignin as well.

5. Dry rot treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_rot_treatment

   The overall cost of using the environmental approach to the treatment of dry rot is likely to be less than the orthodox approach. [ 11 ] [ 23 ] Dr. Ridout quotes a case study where an initial quote for orthodox treatment of a building was £23,000 but subsequent treatment by environmental methods resulted in a saving of one third in remedial ...

6. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

   Huon pine is so rot resistant that fallen trees from many years ago are still commercially valuable. Merbau is still a popular decking timber and has a long life in above ground applications, but it is logged in an unsustainable manner and is too hard and brittle for general use. Ironbark is a good choice where available.

7. Coppicing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppicing

   Coppicing / ˈ k ɒ p ɪ s ɪ ŋ / is the traditional method in woodland management of cutting down a tree to a stump, which in many species encourages new shoots to grow from the stump or roots, thus ultimately regrowing the tree.
