The team predominantly investigates the performance of wood-derived materials, focusing on the inherent durability and mechanical properties of various wood species under different environmental influences. This research emphasizes understanding how climate change impacts wood properties and forest composition, crucial for developing adaptive forest management strategies.
The durability assessments employ the state-of-the-art Mayer-Veltrup approach, combining laboratory and field tests to gauge wood's performance in real-world conditions. Additionally, the study extends to exploring wood's increasing role in construction, particularly in outdoor applications, where it faces a broad spectrum of degradation factors.
