Detailed information about the expansive contents of ESF's wood collection – 40,000 samples that represent 100 years of gathering wood from around the globe – will soon be made available to scientists ...

The study could help identify wood from Russia, which has been banned by many countries because of the war. By Alexander Nazaryan Using a unique combination of old-fashioned field work and ...

There is a brand new sliding microtome at the Department of Forest Sciences. Microtomes are used for making thin wood sample slices (typically 20-40 microns thick) that can be then analysed under the ...

A study of fossilised plant samples has shown that woody plants probably first appeared about 10 million years earlier than previously thought. The 400-million-year-old samples revealed rings of cells ...
