Beschreibung

This book highlights the world distribution of Eucalyptus plantations and the recent state of research on the utilization of planted Eucalyptus for engineered wood products (EWPs) manufacturing. EWPs such as particleboard, fiberboard, oriented strand board, laminated veneer lumber, plywood, glue-laminated lumber, and cross-laminated lumber are highlighted. Eucalyptus is the main fiber resource for the pulp and paper industries in developed countries. Timber and fibers extracted from Eucalyptus have long been utilized for solid wood and manufacturing of medium-density fiberboard. Other uses of Eucalyptus such as pulp and paper, fuels, and chemical feedstocks are also discussed. Economic, social, and environmental assessments of Eucalyptus products are presented.
