TA feedback - INRA GENOBOIS wood analysis technical platform
Applicant: Madera +, Calidad Forestal S.L., Spain
Duration: 4-17 March 2013
Feedback: During the stay we learnt how to use a new infrastructure and data extraction of samples which had not been possible using traditional X-ray densitometry. We are currently in the phase of analysing the results. We hope that this technique opens the door to a new field of study and to optimise the extraction of information so far available for forest inventory samples.
In my case it was a first approach to this technique and I hope to continue making progress. It has allowed me to use a new technique to extract data from a sample density of wood, that I could not have otherwise used. I have had the opportunity to discuss the results with a research group with extensive knowledge. The visit was enormously productive!
