Quantifying wood decomposition by insects and fungi using computed tomography scanning and machine learning

Abstract Wood decomposition is a central process contributing to global carbon and nutrient cycling. Quantifying the role of the major biotic agents of wood decomposition, i.e. insects and fungi, is thus important for a better understanding of this process. Methods to quantify wood decomposition, su...
