Pinus mugo, known as dwarf mountain pine, [4] mountain pine, scrub mountain pine, Swiss mountain pine, [5] bog pine, creeping pine, [6] or mugo pine, [7] is a species of conifer, native to high elevation habitats from southwestern to Central Europe and Southeast Europe.
Pine seedlings being bred to resist white pine blister rust by the US Forest Service Cronartium ribicola is a heteroecious, macrocyclic pathogen on Pinus spp and Ribes spp. [ 7 ] Because young pines are smaller and less developed than mature trees, they are most susceptible to the pathogen.
Oilfield scale inhibition is the process of preventing the formation of scale from blocking or hindering fluid flow through pipelines, valves, and pumps used in oil production and processing. Scale inhibitors (SIs) are a class of specialty chemicals that are used to slow or prevent scaling in water systems.
Pine-pine gall rust, also known as western gall rust, is a fungal disease of pine trees. It is caused by Endocronartium harknessii (asexual name is Peridermium harknessii ), an autoecious , endocyclic , rust fungus that grows in the vascular cambium of the host. [ 1 ]
This process is similar to the Les Bois Perdure treatment in that it uses a steam environment at atmospheric pressure to treat the wood. However, this process can also be used on "green" wood and was the most widely used commercial process as of 2004. [5] [10] Genuine industrial scale ThermoWood process was developed in Finland in 1990's.
Apart from structural wood preservation measures, there are a number of different chemical preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatment, lumber treatment or pressure treatment) that can extend the life of wood, timber, and their associated products, including engineered wood. These generally increase the durability and resistance ...
Dwarf mountain pine may refer to: Pinus mugo , also called creeping pine, a conifer native to high elevation habitats in Europe. Pherosphaera fitzgeraldii , also called Blue Mountains pine, is a critically endangered conifer species found only in New South Wales, Australia.
An antiscalant is a chemical or pre-treatment chemical that prevents the formation of scale, or crystallized mineral salts, commonly used in water purification systems, pipelines and cooling tower applications. Antiscalants are also known as scale inhibitor agents. Scale formation occurs when the concentration of dissolved salts in water ...
