a Influence of log diameter (or the number of logs per square metre of pile cross-section) on predicted air-drying times to achieve a reduction of either 10 or 30 % in log moisture content (percentage, green basis) of E. globulus stacked on any day of the year in Rucamanqui, Los Angeles, Chile. Calculations were made for an initial moisture content of 60 %. b Influence of initial log moisture content on predicted air-drying times to achieve a reduction of either 10 or 30 % in wood moisture content (percentage, green basis) stacked on any day of the year in Rucamanqui, Los Angeles, Chile. Panels c, d are the equivalents of (a) and (b) for E. nitens. Predictions were made for 244 cm logs with bark
