Wood use is an effective strategy for mitigating global warming, and the efficient use of domestic roundwood plays an important role in long-term carbon storage. In this study, carbon stocks in harvested wood products were evaluated based on the “2050 Carbon Neutrality Strategy for the Forest Sector,” following the Tier 1 method and the Production Approach defined in the 2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines. Carbon stocks were projected from 2005 to 2050 under one baseline case and two scenarios: a Baseline case,...

The demand for wood as a raw material, particularly for construction applications, continues to increase. However, the availability of large-diameter timber has declined, leading to the increased use of fast-growing, small-diameter wood species. One approach to overcoming this limitation and improving wood quality to meet construction standards is the application of finger-jointing technology. This study evaluated the strength of finger-jointed wood with different joint positions along the longitudinal direction. A completely randomized factori...

J. Korean Wood Sci. Technol. 2026;54(4):395-405.
https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2026.54.4.395
This study aims to evaluate the natural durability of imported tropical decking wood without preservative treatment. Five hardwood species, Apitong, Basralocus, Ipe, Malas, and Merbau, were exposed to outdoor conditions for five years. Following AWPA E7 and E18 standards, ground-proximity (H3 conditions) and stake (H4 conditions) tests were conducted to assess resistance to wood-decaying fungi and subterranean termites, including changes in hardness before and after exposure. In the ground-proximity tests, all species exhibited performance rati...

https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2026.54.4.406
Neolamarckia macrophylla is an endemic, fast-growing tree naturally distributed across Sulawesi and the Maluku Islands, Indonesia. N. macrophylla is a species used for plantations and community forests; however, its propagation is constrained by limited high-quality seed sources. This study estimated genetic variation, heritability, genetic correlations, and predicted genetic gains for growth and wood-quality traits in a 6-y-old progeny test at Parungpanjang Research Station, Bogor, consisting of 72 families from 10 populations. The traits meas...

https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2026.54.4.425
This study evaluated the potential of Dioscorea bulbifera L. leaf extract as a natural termiticide against the drywood termite Cryptotermes cynocephalus and as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals. The leaves were macerated in methanol and fractionated into polar (methanol), semi-polar (ethyl acetate), and non-polar (n-hexane) extracts. Toxicity was assessed using a filter-paper contact bioassay over 30 days. Lethal concentration (LC) assays for the semi-polar fraction were prepared across a 1.17%–7.35% gradient corr...

J. Korean Wood Sci. Technol. 2026;54(4):447-466.
https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2026.54.4.447
A post-treatment strategy utilizing a 33.2% (w/w) urea-based formaldehyde scavenger solution was applied to mitigate the long-term formaldehyde emission trend under desiccator conditions associated with energy-efficient cold-pressed plywood used as the core layer in hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT). The plywood was manufactured by cold-pressing with a phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) adhesive, and the scavenger solution was applied solely to the edge surfaces at three dosages (0.021, 0.063, and 0.105 g/cm2). The long-term emission trends...

https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2026.54.4.467
Thermal modification is an important treatment process for enhancing the dimensional stability and durability of laminated lignocellulosic products; however, it may adversely affect bonding performance depending on treatment severity and adhesive characteristics. In this study, a mild thermal modification condition (160°C for 3 h) was selected to achieve a balance between inducing sufficient chemical modification to improve dimensional stability and color uniformity while limiting excessive deterioration of mechanical and adhesion-related pr...

Significant efforts have been undertaken to convert waste materials into value-added products, such as particleboards, in response to the increasing demand for wood and wood-based materials and to support the panel industry's ongoing transition toward a circular bioeconomy. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing particleboards from organic solid waste (OSW) through the incorporation of wood and bamboo shavings to improve performance. The particleboards were bonded using an isocyanate adhesive at a content of 10...

A DNA database is crucial for timber’s authentication in transparent and sustainable global trade. DNA extraction and applications are critical components of the database development. Wood tissues often contain high levels of metabolites that pose significant challenges for DNA extraction and downstream polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications. This study used wood and leaf tissues from four populations of Rubroshorea curtisii (Dipterocarpaceae) for modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) DNA extraction and PCR amplification using ...
