Comparative study of biomass determinants of 12 poplar (Populus) genotypes in a high-density short-rotation culture
- M. Verlinden, L. Broeckx, J. Bulcke, J. V. Acker, R. Ceulemans
- Biology
- 1 November 2013
Abstract The success of the production of renewable bioenergy with short-rotation coppice (SRC) cultures primarily depends on their sustainability and biomass yield. The choice of the genotypic… Expand

Tropical lowland forests are characterized by humid climate conditions with interannual variations in amount of precipitation, length of dry season, and relative humidity. The African tree species,… Expand
Outdoor weathering performance parameters of exterior wood coating systems on tropical hardwood substrates
- I. D. Windt, J. Bulcke, I. Wuijtens, H. Coppens, J. Acker
- Materials Science
- European Journal of Wood and Wood Products
- 7 February 2014
Wood coating research almost exclusively focuses on softwood as substrate despite the fact that coatings applied on tropical hardwoods show a different weathering behaviour. The objective of this… Expand
