Estimated air-drying times to achieve reductions of 10, 20, 30 or 40 % in log moisture content (green basis, percent MCg, right axis) stacked on any day of the year in Rucamanqui, Los Angeles, Chile. Calculations were made for an initial moisture content of 60 % on a green basis, log lengths of 244 cm and 22 logs per square metre (~18 cm diameter logs). Dashed lines represent extrapolated values. Panels (a) and (c) correspond to drying times of E. globulus with and without bark; while (b) and (d) to E. nitens with and without bark, respectively
