Effect of some land clearing practices on plant parasitic nematode populations in soils of farmed lands in the moist semi-decidous rain forest zone of Ghana

Between species and wood type variations in some physical, termite resistivity and microstructural properties of some logging residues of Pterygota macrocarpa and Terminalia superba

“…are closely related. Termite resistance is also critical in advocating for the use of a particular wood, especially in the tropics where termites are the major decomposers of timber in service, and they pose greater threats than decay fungi and all other tropical insects (Wong et al 1998; Opoku-Kwarteng 2014). In the light of this, the service performance of any tree part will meet users’ expectations when adequate findings have been made on its termites’ resistivity (Cao et al 2011).…”
