Information on the weathering behaviour of Cunninghamia lanceolata (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 behaviour of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) under natural conditions. Wood samples from 15 Cunninghamia lanceolata 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. This study provided information for weatherability research and improved wood utilization of Cunninghamia lanceolata.

In order to investigate the significance of the moon phases at the felling date on wood properties of Norway spruce, 30 trees from the same growth site were felled at six different dates during waxing/ascending, and waning/descending moon cycles, respectively. The present work deals especially with the effect on wood-water-relations of the analysed samples, as well as with the effect on some wood properties after weathering. The results show significant differences in the second half of the experimental felling period.
