Early soft rot colonization of Scots sapwood pine in above-ground exposure

    Publication: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The most abundant decay type found was soft rot, which also agreed with the mass loss (7-8%). Pine sapwood did not differ significantly between the two sites regarding the average mass loss during the time of exposure. The early colonization of wood by soft rot fungi together with mass loss indicates that this fungal type might be more common in above-ground conditions than recognized earlier.
