Drying of pulpwood in northern Finland.

Drying of pulpwood bolts of Scots pine ( L.), birch ( spp.) and Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) was studied by measuring the drying of sample bolts placed in experimental piles. The results revealed that the main factors affecting timber drying are debarked surface area, moisture content at the time...

Description
Summary:Drying of pulpwood bolts of Scots pine ( L.), birch ( spp.) and Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) was studied by measuring the drying of sample bolts placed in experimental piles. The results revealed that the main factors affecting timber drying are debarked surface area, moisture content at the time of felling and the size of the bolt. Furthermore, pine and spruce bolts located in the upper part of the pile dry better than bolts near the ground.Pinus sylvestrisBetulaPicea abies
