Studies of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of wood from bals.-im fir trees indicated that as cambial electrical resistance increased in deioliated trees, the susceptibility of wood to decay appeared to increase. Inereased suseeptibilny of wood to decay was associated with decreasing electrical resistance of wood as the tree lost its capacity to compartmentalize decaying wood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
