Forest Product Manufacturing Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that turns forest mushrooms and woody biomass into new resources and materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning the forest's bounty into new resources.
The Forest Product Manufacturing Lab studies how to increase the production of resources obtained from forests, such as woody biomass and specialty forest products, and how to put them to new uses.
The lab aims to develop technologies that turn wood and similar materials into high-performance materials.
As the foundation for this, the lab conducts basic research to clarify how organisms in forests interact with one another and how materials flow in and out of forest ecosystems.
Main research themes include the cultivation and breeding of basidiomycetes and elucidating the mechanisms of symbiosis between plants and fungi.
Key terms
- Woody biomass
- Biological resources derived from trees, such as wood, branches, and bark. They can be used as fuel, materials, and raw materials for chemicals.
- Specialty forest products
- Products obtained from forests other than timber, such as mushrooms, wild edible plants, and resins.
- Basidiomycetes
- A group of fungi that includes many mushrooms, such as shiitake.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to develop technologies to increase woody biomass, specialty forest products, and forest resources other than wood, to use them in new ways, and to turn them into high-performance materials. As the foundation for this, the lab studies the interactions among biological communities in forests and their material budgets.
