Bundesforschungsanstalt
für Forst- und Holzwirtschaft (BFH) - Federal
Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products in
Hamburg is an independent
scientific institution in the portfolio of the German Federal
Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture.
BFH
has an international reputation in all aspects of wood technology.
Its Institute of Wood Biology and Wood Protection carries out
fundamental and applied research in the fields of tree growth
and wood formation, wood structure and structure/property
relationships, nature and efficient control of organisms involved in
wood biodeterioration, and long-term protection of timber in service
as well as recycling of timber. The institute cooperates with other
european wood research institutes within the network EUROWOOD.
BFH
is represented in the Bamboo Thematic Network project by Dr.
Rolf-Dieter Peek and Dr. Hans Leithoff. Both scientists have
done pioneering work on the heat
treatment of bamboo in the INCO project
'Sustainable Management and quality improvement of bamboo and
products'.
Rolf-Dieter
Peek (Ph.D.) is specialized in
wood protection and enviromental issues. His
recent publications include:

Hans
Leithoff (Ph.D.) is specialized in wood deterioration, testing,
standardisation,
and has done research on the durability of natural and heat
treated bamboo against fungal attack, heat
treatment of bamboo, as well as on the mechanical properties of
heat treated bamboo.
