This study aimed to improve some surface properties such as color, gloss, and roughness changes of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) wood impregnated with water repellent chemicals glycerol (GR) glyoxal (GX) after weathering. specimens were a 4 % aqueous solution GR, GX, mixture GR GX (1:1; weight : weight) (GR+GX) then exposed weathering in Muğla Province Turkey. Results showed that [delta]...

the relationship between altitude, slope and tree age with the red heartwood of beech (fagusorientalis lipsky) were investigated. transect sampling method was used to collect the data. theresults showed that in the 476 sampled trees, 132 trees were suffering the phenomenon of red heartswith deferent shape and size. the results indicate that the tree with red heartwoods in shafa-roudforest area,...

In this paper we evaluate the feasibility of estimating the previous distribution of a tree species, the beech, from the analysis of toponyms presently in use and referring to this species. Specialists from toponymy, agromomy and geometics have been involved. Toponyms are a precious source of information about past distribution: more than 6100 toponyms referring to beech have been detected. MOT...

The mechanical and acoustic properties of four commonly used wood species, including Populus tomentosa (Poplar), Swietenia mahagoni (Mahogany), Fagus orientalis (Beech), Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) were investigated through using three-point bending notched tests synchronizing with power spectrum analysis method fractal dimension theory. results showed that the modulus elasticity rapture changed i...

In this research scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Eastern beech (Fagus orientelis L.), oak (Quercus petraea L.) samples have been covered with polyurethane, acrylic, cellulosic varnish. In order to determine the physical changes which occurred on varnish layers caused by steam and wet heat, the samples were exposed to TS 4982 EN 12721 wet heat and TS EN 438-2 steam. According the results, the...
