Betreff: Information about structural resistance of paulownia wood poles or posts
(...)
Do you have data on vertical and lateral structural resistance of paulownia poles or posts? By poles, I mean the round timber that grows directly on the plant, minus bark and branches.
My company plans to plant a large extension of ground with fast-growing trees to produce poles for applications in fencing, posts for powerlines and road illumination, construction and underground mining support. Most of these applications require non-serrated wood. That is why structural resistance values for the natural, round poles is sought. For some applications, we are considering certain processes to give the poles a longer useful life.
Alternatively, do you know somebody who can help me obtain such data?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Cordially yours,

Announcing the #Forests2015 Blog Competition
by Brigitte Burger
Colleagues! Scientists!
Forest research projects are often carried out without the public knowing much about them. If you think that your research project deserves more attention than that, here is your chance: showcase your research work in the blog competition of the XXIV World Forestry Congress!
By submitting a blogpost you can help to significantly boost awareness, engagement and investments in forestry in general and on one of the six Congress sub-themes in particular:
* Forests for socioeconomic development and food security
* Building resilience with forests
* Integrating forests and other land uses
* Encouraging product innovation and sustainable trade
* Monitoring forests for better decision-making
* Improving governance by building capacity
The blog competition closes on July 31 midnight CET.
Details of the blog competition are at: <https://forests2015.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/announcing-forests2015-blog-co…> https://forests2015.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/announcing-forests2015-blog-co…
