A relationship between drying resistance and moisture content was found for 24, 27 and 30mm thick boards, and 45, 51 and 57mm thick dimensions of Japanese larch. Dahurian larch and radiata pine in order to modify the kiln schedule by using time schedules. The amount of drying resistance for Dahurian larch lumber was the highest, and radiata pine lumber was the lowest, on the basis of the same moisture content range. Drying resistance increased curvilinearly as moisture content decreased, and was higher for thicker lumber than for thinner lumber, at a given moisture content. Combined drying resistance for the three board thicknesses and the three dimension thicknesses showed a comparatively strong for radiata pine and a Japanese larch, while a weak correlation for Dahurian larch as a function of two independent variables, thickness and moisture content of lumber, respectively.

This study aims at modeling the rotary drying of wood chips in co-current mode and estimating the drying time of larch (Larix kaemferi) wood chip. Drying data were obtained in a lab. scale fixed bed dryer operating with an air velocity of 1 m/sec. and at hot air inlet temperatures of $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, and $300^{\circ}C$. The lab. scale fixed-bed drying rates for small, medium and large size larch wood chips that had been dried from 40% wet-based moisture content (MC) to 10% MC at $200^{\circ}C$ drying temperature were 17.3 %/min., 10.2 %/min. and 5.5 %/min., respectively. It was predicted that larch large size wood chips could be dried from 40% MC to 10% MC in about 23.0, 34.6, and 44.7 minutes at $300^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$, respectively. Expected drying times for medium size chips were about 8.6, 11.2 and 13.2 minutes and those for small size chips were 4.3, 5.5 and 6.4 minutes, respectively.

This study examined the structural performance of experimental parallel strand lumber (PSL) from a Larch veneer strand. The prototype of PSL from a Larch veneer strand was manufactured in the experimental laboratory and tested. The bending and dowel bearing strength were determined from the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and dowel bearing strength based on a 5% offset yield load. The test results indicated that the average MOR of PSL was higher than that of 2 × 4 dimension lumber, and the average MOE of PSL was lower than that of 2 × 4 dimension lumber. A linear relationship was observed between the MOR and MOE. The allowable bending stress of PSL was derived as specified in ASTM D2915 and compared with other research. The dowel bearing strength of PSL in parallel to the grain was approximately double that perpendicular to the grain of PSL. A comparison of several theoretical calculations based on each national code for the dowel bearing strength was conducted, and some theoretical equations produced results closer to the experimental results when it was parallel to the grain, but the difference was higher in the case perpendicular to the grain. The test results showed that PSL made with Japanese larch veneer strands appeared to be suitable for a raw material of structural composite lumber (SCL) appeared to be used as a raw material for SCL.

The Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi [Lamb.] Carriere) is a major timber species in Korea. However, studies on bucking rates and merchantable logs of this species are insufficient in South Korea. To bridge these gaps, in this study, the bucking rate of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi [Lamb.] Carriere) was computed and the number of long logs and merchantable log volumes were analyzed. Sample trees were bucked according to the log grade for trading, and collected from a forest field in Gangwon Province. The bucking rate of all Japanese larch logs was >89%. The highly profitable 2-4 logs of 3.6 m length from trees with ≤30 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) and 5-6 logs with ≥34 cm DBH were produced. The bucking rate of long logs was >84%; thus, Japanese larch was found to be suitable for the supply of high-grade timber. Additionally, to follow reasonable wood supply plans, merchantable volume tables were offered based on 3.6 m-long number of logs and small-end diameter classes. Understanding the proportion of merchantable log volumes, bucking rates, and the number of long and short logs has large-scale applications in practical forestry.

A number of field surveys have been performed in larch (Larix leptolepsis) forest floor in which any seeding of this species never find ther. In laboratory work, aqueous extracts from leaves, roots and stems of larch were provided and used to bioassay. Among them, germination and seedling growth of selected species were the most inhibitory in leaves extracts. Though germiation percentage of a species showed high compared with control, its dry weight after a given period grown were clearly low. The results due to be considered by allelopathic effect. And syringic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were identified by HPLC from larch leaves. It is assumed that these phenolic acids affect on other species as allelochemicals of larch.

It has been known that acetylation improves the dimensional stability of wood. Liquid phase acetylation is more popular than gas-phase acetylation for the effectiveness of weight gain of wood. In this study the specimens of domestic red and Korean pines are acetylated in liquid phase and their physical properties, such as density, bending strength, anti-hygroscopicity etc., are analyzed. Acetylation increases the average weights and volume of larch specimens by 11.4% and 3.4%, respectively, and their average oven-dry densities are increased by $0.03g/cm^3$. Acetylation does not influence on Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE). The average Percentage Reduction in Hygroscopicity (PRH) and average Percentage Reduction in Water soaking (PRW) of larch specimens are respectively 20.2% and 20.8%. Thus it can be concluded that acetylation improves the dimensional stability of larch specimens.

We studied on the bark Percentage of red pine (Pinus denssiflora S & Z) and tarch (Larix Kaemdferi sargent) and obtained the results as follows: (1) For diameter classes from 8 to 38 cm in red pine. the linear equation adopts the relation of the bark percentage to the diameter more accurately than the logarithmic equation. (2) The difference between the regression equation of the bark percentage between red pine and Larch is significant and the correlation cofficient in red Pine is high so that standard error of red Pine is lower than its value of Larch. We established, therefore the tables of bark percentage for each species by applying the following regression equations. red Pine Y=10.08205-0.08794x Larch Y=10.3527-0.17071x.

본 연구는 낙엽송을 이용한 반탄화 펠릿의 제조 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 낙엽송 칩을 230, 250, $270^{\circ}C$ 및 30, 50, 70분의 조건에서 반탄화 처리를 각각 실시하였으며, 반탄화 낙엽송 칩의 함수율, 수분흡착률, 발열량, 회분을 측정하여 각 조건에 대한 반탄화 조건의 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 반탄화 낙엽송 칩의 표면을 광학현미경, FE-SEM, SEM-EDXS를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 낙엽송 시편의 리그닌 함량은 반탄화 온도 및 시간 증가와 함께 증가한 반면, 전섬유소 함량은 감소하였다. 함수율은 반탄화 처리하지 않은 칩과 비교하여 급격히 감소하였으며, 수분흡착률은 반탄화 온도가 높을수록 감소하였다. 낙엽송의 발열량 및 회분함량은 반탄화 온도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으나, 반탄화 낙엽송 펠릿의 내구성은 무반탄화 낙엽송 펠릿과 비교하여 현저히 낮았다. 낙엽송 칩의 단면을 광학현미경 및 FE-SEM으로 관찰한 결과 반탄화 조건이 강해질수록 재색의 농색화 및 세포벽의 부분적 붕괴를 확인할 수 있었으며, SEM-EDXS 분석을 통하여 반탄화에 따른 리그닌의 분포 확산 및 양의 증가가 확인되었다. 결과를 종합하면, 연료적 특성의 측면에서 $270^{\circ}C$/50분이 낙엽송의 최적 반탄화 조건인 것으로 판단되나, 낙엽송 반탄화 펠릿의 내구성 결과에 따르면 $230^{\circ}C$/30분과 같이 반탄화 처리조건이 강하지 않은 경우에 대하여 고려할 필요성이 있을 것으로 생각한다.
