dc.abstract.enThis study evaluated within-stem differences in the moisture content of stored summer-harvested oak wood with respect to drying method. The felled oaks were naturally dried for eight weeks, from 4 July to 29 August 2017. We analyzed two methods of preparation and storage: a transpiration drying method (W), and an air-drying method for stem-wood (L). Transpiration drying is a better method for oak stems than air-drying. Statistically significant differences between drying methods were found after six weeks of storage. This coincided with complete wilting of the leaves. However, signs of wilting and leaf color change appeared earlier, between the second and fourth weeks of storage. In parallel, in scenario W, a statistically significant difference in MC of sapwood was observed between the second and fourth weeks of storage. Such a phenomenon was not observed in scenario L. The MC of heartwood also gradually decreased, especially in scenario W. Explanation of this phenomenon lay outside the scope of this study; however, it indicates how the structure and properties of wood, in addition to storage conditions and methods, influence the efficiency of biomass drying in the harvesting area.
