	Urban Wood Waste
		Wood waste is, by far, the largest portion of the waste stream generated from construction and demolition activities.
		The end uses of wood recovered from construction and demolition activities are sometimes limited because the wood is commingled with other materials and contaminants or is in such poor condition that the cost of processing and cleaning limits the economic viability of processing and reusing the material.
		Wood waste generated at residential and commercial wood frame construction sites offers a greater potential for reuse due to the ease of separating the wood during the various stages of construction.

	Management of Wood Ducks on Private Lands and Waters
		In the South, buttonbush is prevalent, along with cattails and bullrushes; in the North, alders are common shrubs in wood duck habitat.
		Owners or managers should not use standard farm or fish pond construction guidelines, which call for average depths in excess of three feet, steeply sloping sides, brush-free banks, and bulldozed, uniform bottoms (figure 1).
		Managers who are certain that the mudflats are sufficiently fertile walk through the damp flats and seed the millet with a cyclone seeder.

	NPWRC :: Wood Duck
		In response to the Migratory Bird Treaty established in 1916 and enactment of the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918, wood duck populations began to slowly recover.
		This pamphlet is designed to serve as an introduction to the habitat requirements of the wood duck and to assist in the development of a comprehensive wood duck management plan.
		The success of any individual species management plan depends on targeting the specific needs of the species and analyzing the designated habitat areas as a whole to ensure that all habitat requirements are present.

		The feeding-only resources are the smaller wood items that typically become totally dry during the warmer times of the year.
		This means that they eat wood and as they eat the wood they create excavated galleries which are their living spaces.
		Therefore, the goal of yard wood management is to make it difficult for termites to find wood resources on the property and therefore difficult to survive in the yard.

		Forest management certification is considered to be essentially the examination of forests by a qualified, independent third-party to determine whether they are being managed in keeping with certain standards.
		Wood products certification involves a qualified, independent, third-party "chain of custody" inspection to trace wood harvested from certified forests through transportation, processing and marketing of the finished product.
		Wood products certification or verification is typically rewarded with a "label" used by some as a marketing tool to either increase market share and/or to ensure continued or improved market access.

	Management of wood Properties in Planted Forests - A paradigm for global forest production
		Wood production by the layer of cambial cells between the bark and xylem is controlled by a combination of biomechanical and physiological influences – most critically by the weight of the crown and the concentration of plant hormones (auxins) and sugars transported from the leaves in the crown to the cambial zone in the trunk.
		The volume of juvenile wood produced in a stem is related to how rapidly it grows and whether the lower crown is pruned, dies due to shading, or remains alive (Zobel and Sprague, 1998; Larson, 1969).
		Juvenile wood is significantly weaker, and unlike mature wood shrinks or swells in the axial direction, due to a high microfibril angle in the secondary wall of the tracheids (Meylan and Probine, 1969; Boyd, 1985).

	Wood Wasps Horntails Management Guidelines--UC IPM
		The common names "wood wasp" and "horntail" are used to describe several kinds of wood-boring insects (families Siricidae, Xiphydriidae, Anaxyelidae, and Orussidea).
		Many species of wood-boring beetles, especially those in the family Buprestidae (flatheaded or metallic wood borers) or the family Cerambycidae (which includes long-horned beetles and roundheaded wood borers), feed on live trees that are old or weakened or fire- or insect-killed trees but do not attack harvested lumber.
		A female wood wasp inserts her ovipositor nearly 3/4 inch into wood of a weakened or dying tree and lays one to seven eggs.

	Best Management Practices for Wood Ash Used as an Agricultural Soil Amendment
		While several alternative uses for wood ash have been developed, land application is one of the best methods for ash utilization as nutrients taken from the land during harvest are recycled back to the land.
		Wood ash has the potential to be used as a lime substitute in almost all Georgia's counties.

	Principles of sustainable tropical forest management where wood production is the primary objective
		A forest management plan has the purpose not only of setting out approved management objectives and specified action but, equally importantly, of communicating these to people who are concerned with the implementation of a plan in a forest or group of forests to which it applies.
		Sustainable forest management cannot be achieved in the absence of a firm and lasting commitment and appropriate action to effectively protect a forest management unit from the threats and activities that might impair the achievement of forest management objectives.
		Sustainable management of tropical forests is at the core of a forest development strategy and implies silvicultural manipulation, or intervention, in order to achieve objectives written in a forest management plan.

	The Statistical Basis for the DecAid Wood Decay Management Advisory Model
		The purpose of calculating composite means and composite variances across studies is to determine the spread of values of snag dbh, snag density, down wood diameter, and down wood percent cover used and selected by wildlife species in specific forest vegetation types and forest structural condition classes and geographic areas.
		The distributions are useful as stand-alone characterizations of dead wood populations (especially valuable when wildlife data are lacking), and can be compared to variability in the wildlife use data as well.
		The actual tolerance limit (value of the dead wood variable) for each quantile (k) is the value associated with the kth observation.
