FTIR studies of the changes in wood chemistry following decay by brown-rot and white-rot fungi

TL;DR: In this paper, a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study of changes in chemistry of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) decayed by Coniophora puteana ((Schumacher) Karsten), Coriolus versicolor ((L.) Quelet) and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Burdsall) is presented.
