This edited book covers all aspects of wood degradation from its
formation and growing in trees to its end usages when it is put
into human usage. Wood is an age-old traditional fascinating
material with a sensory-rich immersive experience that kindles
aesthetics and creativity. The utility, durability, and
functionality of wood render it a cosmopolitan material. It
constitutes an integral part of human lives from ancient times to
modern societies being used by various sectors viz., construction,
furniture, panel products, paper and pulp, sports goods,
agricultural implements, etc., Wood, being a biological material,
is susceptible to degradation both by physical and biological
means, and the need to protect the wood and prevent heavy economic
losses constitutes a major challenge. Also, wood formed by the
trees is the major sinks of carbon and the carbon remains locked-up
for the life of the wood, thereby serving as important tool to
mitigate the climate change. But the carbon stored in wood returns
to the atmosphere when it degrades and will have positive effect on
climate change. Hence, wood protection aiming for extending the
service life of wood plays a key role in locking the carbon for a
longer period in the wood and also substantially reduce the demand
and depletion of forest resources. The book focuses on wood as an
important natural bio-resource, inventory of wood protection,
usage, utilization, preservatives, protection technologies and wood
protection from all forms of degradation. Special focus is given on
the eco-friendly way of protecting wood and its importance in
mitigating climate change. The book is useful for Indian and
international readers, who are working in wood domains. It is of
interest to wood technologists, teachers, researchers, climate
change scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. It is of
immense importance as a guide and study material to the graduate
and postgraduate students of wood science in various universities
of India and abroad.
