Weathering Behaviour of <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> (Lamb.) Hook. under Natural Conditions

Information on the weathering behaviour of <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> (Lamb.) Hook. is needed to provide references for wood weatherproof pre-treatment and to improve wood utilization. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the variation in the intrinsic weathering behavio...

Hook. is needed to provide references for wood weatherproof pre-treatment and to improve wood utilization. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the variation in the intrinsic weathering behaviour of <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> (Chinese fir) under natural conditions. Wood samples from 15 <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> trees aged 26–30 years old were used. The structural degradation and discoloration of wood surfaces before and after exposure were compared. The results show that the weathering behaviour of wood was weakened from heartwood to sapwood and enhanced from the bottom to the top.
