    Summary: Presented are the results of investigation on fibre lengthvariations from natural population of birch wood (Betula pendula,Roth.) grown in Croatia. Fibre length vary from 0.38 mm to 1.77mm with mean of 0.98 mm. Fibre length in trunkwood and branchwoodgrowth rings increases from pith to bark. The amount of fibrelength increase in trunkwood is higher than in branchwood. Fibrelength in trunkwood is slightly higher in brest hight, than inhight of 9.3 m from the stump. The difference is only 4%. Fibre length in branchwood is on average for 15% shorter than intrunkwood. Fibre length in trees from locality of Duboka is intrunkwood 12%, and in branchwood 11% longer than in trees fromlocality of Duga Resa.

    Summary: This article fucuses on the improvement of permeability brought about by anaerobic bacteria on fir poles. Poles, each 6 metars long, wew divided in to three equal groups. In first group, there were poles which had been exposed to air drying immediately after felling. The poles from second and third group, had been submerged in the water of Lake Bajer after felling for one and two months respectively. After that, they were also exposed to air drying. Following air drying, small log samples werw sawn from each pole, those to be used in the investigation of the improved permeability of fir wood. The logs werw exposed to full-cell pressure impregnation by anorganic salts (CCB salts). Investigatins had shown that the increased permeability is observed only in the sapwood of the submerged poles, while the heartwood remained impermable. The average sapwood permeability of the poles submerged for two months (10.69 darcys) has become 3.9 times higher than that of the nonsubmerged poles (2.74 darcys). The value for the poles submerged for one month was 8.71 darcys, i.e. 3.17 times higher than for the nonsubmerged poles. The increased permeability, observed on the submerged poles sapwood has been additionally attested by increased retention and increased penetration of waterborn salts. The average retention of waterborn salts observed in the one month and the two month submergence group was 73% and 75% higher, respectively that the average retention observed in nonsubmerged poles. At the same time, the average lateral penetration of waterborn salts in the sapwood of the submerged poles ( 50.35 mm for the two month and 50.53 mm for the one month submergence group) was 5.52, that is 5.54 times higher than the average lateral panetration in nonsubmerged poles (9.12 mm). The aksial penetration in the one and two month submergence group reached 2,5 meters from the end to the middle of the poles, which is significantly more than the same penetration observed in nonsubmerged poles (maximum 0,05 meters from the end to the middle). The crushing strength (testing in compression parallel to grain) on the sapwood of the poles submerged for one and two maonths showed no significant reduction.

    Summary: In this paper the effect of bacteria action on wood and the results of the action are presented. All forms of bacterial degradation are described, regardless of whether the bacteria were active on wet or on air dry wood, on unprotected or chemicaly protected wood. The main point of interest are anaerobic bacteria, which degrade softwood pit membranes and thoruses on early wood tracheids. As a result of such bacterial degradation the permeability of wood is increased, whereas its mechanical properties are not significantly decreased.

    Summary: The paper presents a qualitative and quantitative analysis ofmonosaccharides in prevalent home-grown hardwood species. The aim of this investigation was to determine the possibility ofusing the wood residue of examined species for a production ofsugar. Oak, chesnut, maple, beech, elm, walnut, cherry, ash and alderwood samples were analysed. Monosaccharides were identified by HPLC - High Performance LiquidChromatography. Monosacharide solution was prepared by hydrolysiswith sulphuric acid. Monosaccharides were quantitatively determined using BIOTRONIC LC5001 apparatus combined with SHIMADZU C-R6A CHROMATOPACintegrator. Results of investigation show that glucose and xylose are presentin significant amounts in all examined wood samples, whereasgalactose, mannose, and rhamnose were also identified in all woodsamples but in very small amounts. The obtained results show that the HPLC method applied here isadvantageous as compared with the usual gravimetric andvolumetric procedures for the analysis of monosaccharides inhardwoods.

    Summary: Felling of small-diameter trees has posed a threat to fir-wood (Abies alba Mill.) in the Gorski kotar region. In logs obtained from small-diameter trees the share of juvenile wood has been increasing. It is therefore important to be aware of juvenile fir-wood properties in order to be able to define the processing modes. This research has covered the properties of ring width, oven dry wood density, basic density, longitudinal, radial, tangential and volumetric shrinkage, and fiber saturation point for juvenile and mature fir-wood. The research has been carried out on ten fir trees at breast height (breast height diameter being 25-30 cm for four trees, 31-40 cm for two trees, 41-50 cm for two trees, 60 cm and more for two trees). Juvenile and mature wood were distinguished on the basis of the radial shift in the trend of physical properties distribution. Such a method does not grant the establishment of a firm line between juvenile and mature wood. Juvenile fir-wood covers the inner part of a trunk, 30-40 rings from the pith. This has been concluded on the basis of the radial shift in ring width distribution trend, in density of oven dry wood and in tangential and volumetric shrinkage trends. The other physical properties have been neglected in final consideration because of the great variation in data. Under the assumption that juvenile wood encompasses the thirty innermost rings, the density of oven dry wood mean value is 0.3976 g/cm3 for juvenile wood and 0.4977 g/cm3 for mature wood; the tangential shrinkage mean value is 7.7% for juvenile wood and 8.8% for mature wood; the volumetric shrinkage mean value is 11.8% for juvenile wood and 13.6% for mature wood. If juvenile wood is assumed to spread over the forty innermost rings, the mean values are: 0.4083 g/cm3 (juvenile wood) and 0.4512 g/cm3 (mature wood) for oven dry wood density; 8% (juvenile) and 8.9% (mature) for tangential shrinkage; 12.3% (juvenile) and 13.7% (mature) for volumetric shrinkage. It can be generally stated that juvenile fir-wood has larger ring breadth, lower oven dry wood density, lower tangential shrinkage and lower volumetric shrinkage than mature fir-wood.

    Summary: Research into the distribution of properties in the radial direction with wood makes it possible to acquire knowledge of their variability, and to determine the characteristic zones within the trunk. As any other living organism a tree undergoes three developmental phases: juvenile, ripeness and old age. The determination of these three phases is possible on the basis of the recorded changes in properties. This research is limited to the study of the differences in the properties of the two phases; the juvenile and ripe phases of the Fir. Some physical properties of the juvenile and ripe wood of a Fir are determined: width of an annual ring, share of the late wood zone, density in raw condition after felling, water content after felling, nominal density and density in the standard dry condition. The material for research was taken from the Compartment VI of the Belevine management unit, NPŠO Zalesina, managed by the sustainable method. On the basis of the change of the distribution trend in the width of the annual ring, the nominal density and the density in the standard dry condition in the radial direction, the zone ranging from 30th to 40th annual ring was observed, in which juvenile wood transgresses into ripe wood. The juvenile zone in firwood spans over the first 30-40 annual rings from the heart. The annual-ring width, nominal density and density in a standard dry condition of the juvenile wood significantly differ from the same properties of the ripe wood. The width of an annual ring in the juvenile wood is bigger than the width of annual ring in the ripe wood. The nominal density and density in a standard dry condition of the juvenile wood is smaller than the same properties in the zone of the ripe wood.

    Summary: Oakwood buried in the ground, or abonos, is the wood which has been exposed for a very long time to the process of humidification under the influence of running water. It is black in colour due to the chemical reaction between the tanstuff in the wood and the contents of iron in the water. Besides this change in colour, there are some other significant alterations of the physical and mechanical properties of oakwood. Although some of its properties have changed for the worse compared to the recent oakwood, there is a great demand for the abonos oakwood, especially when used as veneer, interior furnishings and manufacture of precious furniture, parts of musical instruments and decorative woodwork.

    Summary: In this paper gas permeability of air dried fir sapwood is compared with gas permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood, and with alcohol dried fir sapwood; all wood was dried from green to under the fibre saturation point. The investigation showed that the longitudinal gas permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood is 10 times less (0.07 darcy) than the permeability of air-dried fir sapwood (0.77 darcy), while tangential gas permeability is nearly the same after air drying (0.0007 darcy) and microwave drying (0.00067 darcy). Tangential gas permeability of alcohol dried fir sapwood is 0.82 darcy. The permeability values of microwave dried fir sapwood show greater homogeneity (lesser dissipation) than the permeability values of air dried sapwood. The ratio between tangential and longitudinal permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood is significantly 10 times smaller than the same ratio for air dried fir sapwood. This indicates a reduction in anisotropy which should be investigated in more detail on a larger sample and on more species of wood. Further investigation should be followed by an examination of wood samples with an electron microscope.

    Summary: Wood, being a product of a living tree, is liable to deterioration due to abiotic and biotic factors. The rate of wood degradation is dependent on its natural durability which varies from species to species. Those of poor natural durablility have to be chemically protected to prolong their time of service. Intensity of protection depends on the environmental conditions in which the wood is used. Various European regulations are made concerning the ways of choosing the wood species, chemicals and intensity of protection, all depending on the place of use. In view of the intention of Croatian economy to participate on the European market, this article wants to review European regulations in the field of wood protection, and thus help Croatian regulations to be in keeping with the European ones. The first part of the article describes mechanisms of the most important wood deteriorating factors, while the second one presents European regulations in the field of wood protection. špageđ8ć

    Summary: This paper shows how anaerobic bacteria can help increase thepermeability of firwood poles. The poles were immersed in thewater in the lake of Bajer near Fužine and then left to dry.Permeability was increased only in the sapwood zone, whereas thepermeability of the heartwood remained low. The length ofimmersion (one and two months) did not have any significantinfluence on the permeability of the sapwood in the poles. Theaverage permeability of sapwood in the poles which were immersedfor one month was increased 3.9 times, and in the poles immersedfor two months the average permeability was increased 4.8 timesin relation to average permeability of sapwood in the poles whichhad not been immersed in water.

    Summary: In order to determine technical characteristics of a particularwood species, we have to be familiar with its basic physicalcaracteristics. Mean values of characteristics and theirvariability facilitate comparison of the caracteristics analysedwith the results obtained in other studies. These data help us todetermine which technology to use in wood processing in order tomake the most of the caracteristics of a particular wood species.It is indispensable to analyze characteristics of wood species interms of their distribution in the various parts of the treelongitudinally and transversally. Variability in the distributionof a particular characteristic points to the fact that choice ofa technological procedure in wood processing must be adapted toparticular zones in trees.

    Summary: Samples of beech wood (Fagus silvatica L.) with dimensions 20 x20 x 20 mm were stored in different media (destilled water,destilled water with addition of 0.05% of Ajatin, ordinary water)for 90 days. The wood to water ratio was the same in eachexperiment - 1:5. The aliquot parts of water extracts wereanalysed for saccharides and phenolic compounds contents. The pHvalues of extracts and the weigth loss of wood specimen wasdetermined, too. Also the influence of anatomical direction ofwater diffusiion through spedimen was investigated. Obtained experimental data allow to formulate the followingconclusions: -the pH values of water extracts drop to aproximate value of 4 inthe first stages of water extraction, prolonged time of treatmentresulted in an increase of pH to 7; weight loss of examined woodsamples varied between 2.42 to 2.81 per cent, after 90 days oftreatment; - the amount of saccharides in extracts was raising in the first7 days of storage, prolonged time of treatment resulted indiminished contents of saccharides. The retarding influence of"ajatine" addion on the biodegradation was evident, the influenceof direction of diffusion of water was not expressive; - amounts of phenolic compounds in investigated extracts wereincreasing with time of storage, the highest increase of theirconcentration being observed during the first 7 days oftreatment; the influence of direction of water penetration wasnegligibible again.

Somecharacteristic properties of two kinds of resins, i.e. ureaformaldehyde and urea melamine formaldehyde resins at a differenturea and formaldehyde mole ratio with a constant addition ofmelamine were compared. This addition of melamine results inshortening of condensation time of resin at a lower urea andformaldehyde mole ratio, in reduction of the total amount offormaldehyde in resin and in reduction of formaldehyde liberatedfrom the glued joint. This was proved above all in resin with theurea and formaldehyde mole ratio of 1:1.2.

    Summary: Oakwood buried in the ground, or abonos, is the wood which has been exposed for a very long time to the process of humidification under the influence of running water. It is black in colour due to the chemical reaction between the tanstuff in the wood and the contents of iron in the water. Besides this change in colour, there are some other significant alterations of the physical and mechanical properties of oakwood. Although some of its properties have changed for the worse compared to the recent oakwood, there is a great demand for the abonos oakwood, especially when used as veneer, interior furnishings and manufacture of precious furniture, parts of musical instruments and decorative woodwork.

    Summary: Distribution of properties throughout the cross section of trunk shows great differences in values. The influence of these differences in technical properties of wood on the optimal use of wood as a raw material demands the knowledge about these differences in one species and between species. Differences in properties and their importance in utilisation of wood will be greater with pulling down younger trees and small diameter trees, that is with larger contents of small diameter trunks as a raw material.

    Summary: This paper has concentrated on innovative new preservative and treatment systems for wood protection and theirs reflection on humans environment and ecology.. In general, the potential of high toxicty of wood protection chemicals dictates the need to protect the environment and humans from its harmful effects. The development of new or modification of existing preservatives systems will likelyprovide the industry with new alternatives that will make it easer to complywith the ever changing environmental and safety regulations.The use of combination bocides has the potentional for reducing the total amount of preservative injected into wood, hence lowering potential environmental impact. Advcing treatment technology may allow treaters of the future to put biocides into the wood structure in such a way that they are more effective and less dangerious for human's environmental and ecology.

    Summary: In this paper gas permeability of air dried fir sapwood is compared with gas permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood, both dried from green to under fiber saturation point. The investigation showed that the longitudinal gas permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood is 10 times lesser (0.07 darcy) than the permeability of air dried fir sapwood (0.77 darcy), while tangential gas permeability is nearly equal after air drying (0.0007 darcy) and microwave drying (0.00067 darcy). The values of permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood show greater homogenity (lesser dissipation) than the values of permeability of air dried sapwood. The ratio between tangential and longitudinal permeability of microwave dried fir sapwood is significantly 10 times lesser than the same ratio of air dried fir sapwood. This indicates the reduction of anisotropy which should be investigated in detail on larger sample and on more species of wood. Further investigation should be followed by examination of the samples of wood by electron microscope.

    Summary: This article fucuses on the improvement of permeability brought about by anaerobic bacteria on fir poles. Poles, each 6 metars long, wew divided in to three equal groups. In first group, there were poles which had been exposed to air drying immediately after felling. The poles from second and third group, had been submerged in the water of Lake Bajer after felling for one and two months respectively. After that, they were also exposed to air drying. Following air drying, small log samples werw sawn from each pole, those to be used in the investigation of the improved permeability of fir wood. The logs werw exposed to full-cell pressure impregnation by anorganic salts (CCB salts). Investigatins had shown that the increased permeability is observed only in the sapwood of the submerged poles, while the heartwood remained impermable. The average sapwood permeability of the poles submerged for two months (10.69 darcys) has become 3.9 times higher than that of the nonsubmerged poles (2.74 darcys). The value for the poles submerged for one month was 8.71 darcys, i.e. 3.17 times higher than for the nonsubmerged poles. The increased permeability, observed on the submerged poles sapwood has been additionally attested by increased retention and increased penetration of waterborn salts. The average retention of waterborn salts observed in the one month and the two month submergence group was 73% and 75% higher, respectively that the average retention observed in nonsubmerged poles. At the same time, the average lateral penetration of waterborn salts in the sapwood of the submerged poles ( 50.35 mm for the two month and 50.53 mm for the one month submergence group) was 5.52, that is 5.54 times higher than the average lateral panetration in nonsubmerged poles (9.12 mm). The aksial penetration in the one and two month submergence group reached 2,5 meters from the end to the middle of the poles, which is significantly more than the same penetration observed in nonsubmerged poles (maximum 0,05 meters from the end to the middle). The crushing strength (testing in compression parallel to grain) on the sapwood of the poles submerged for one and two maonths showed no significant reduction.

    Summary: This research deal with determination of physical and mechanical properties of juvenile and adult fir-wood. Research of the distribution of properties in radial direction was taken to acquire knowledge of their variability, and to determine the characteristic zones within the trunk. The research material was taken from the compartment VI of the Belevine management unit in Zalesina, managed by the sustainable method. The research has been carried out on ten fir trees at breast height (breast height diameter being 25-30 cm for four trees, 31-40 cm for two trees, 41-50 cm for two trees, 60 cm and more for two trees). Juvenile and mature wood were distinguished on the basis of the radial shift in the trend of physical and mechanical properties distribution. The juvenile zone in fir-wood spreads over the first 30-40 annual rings from the heart. It can be generally stated that juvenile fir-wood has larger ring width, lower oven dry wood density, lower tangential shrinkage, lower volumetric shrinkage, lower bending strength and lower compression strength than mature fir-wood.
    Keywords: fir-wood (Abies alba Mill.), juvenile wood, ring width, density, shrinkage, bending strength, compression strength.
