ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of the study to assess
the degree of degradation caused to wood during open air
storage at Changa Manga forest plantation. Four
different species viz ; Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) ,
Mulberry (Morus alba) , poplar (Populous spp.) and Semal
(Salmalilia malabarica) where tested for loss of
strength in relation to storage time. The results
indicated that both popular and semal were severely
decayed even after a storage period of few months while
the other two species were least affected.
