Non Destructive Method for Biomass Prediction Combining TLS Derived Tree Volume and Wood Density
This paper presents a method for predicting the above ground leafless biomass of trees in a non destructive way. We utilize terrestrial laserscan data to predict the volume of the trees. Combining volume estimates with density measurements leads to biomass predictions. Thirty-six trees of three different species are analyzed: evergreen coniferous Pinus massoniana, evergreen broadleaved Erythrop...
متن کاملNon destructive Control tool for wood traceability
The concept of traceability is defined according to the standard ISO 8402 like “the ability for the retrieval of the history and use or location of an article or an activity through a registered identification”. Their implementation in the wood industry is delayed because of the limits of classical automatic identification systems in regard to the nature of wood and the features of the manufact...
متن کاملNear-infrared Spectroscopy: a Rapid Non-destructive Method for Measuring Wood Properties, and Its Application to Tree Breeding*
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provides a rapid, non-destructive method for the routine estimation of wood properties. NIR spectroscopy is increasingly being used to replace traditional methods of wood property assessment, and it provides a wealth of information to tree growers, tree breeders, and manufacturers of forest products. The technology is particularly well-suited to tree improvement...
متن کاملLeaf area estimation by a simple and non-destructive method
In this study, the relation between leaf area and its dimensions was estimated using a non-destructive method. This method is based on this fact that the leaf shape does not change during the growing season. In this method, leaf area during the growing season is estimated based on the dimensions of the smallest leaf in the initial stage of plant growth or at any growth stage by measuring the le...
متن کاملMeasurement of Wood Pole Strength Polux® a New Non-Destructive Inspection Method
Wood pole structures make up a large part of utility transmission and distribution networks. Loading on in-service poles is increasing sometimes beyond design limits due to additional attachments of Fiber Optics and Cable TV and more violent weather. The paper describes a new technology Polux that can provide Asset Managers with reliable objective pole strength data to support maintenance and c...
