In recent years considerable progress has been made in elucidating wood decay mechanisms. This basic knowledge not only has the potential to develop alternative environmentally-benign wood preservatives, but may also impact other areas such as bioremediation and pulp and paper. This book willsummarize the latest knowledge of the developments, potential impacts, and applications from some of the world's leading experts.
