In this study, an IML-Resistograph was highly successful as a field instrument in its ability to locate and predict the presence of decay in the trunk wood of eucalypts. A system for using the IML-Resistograph to estimate the area of decay in the cross-section of a eucalypt was evaluated for field use. The data from the IML-Resistograph F300S can be used as part of an expert system to estimate the area of wood decay in a cross-section of a standing eucalypt.}, issn = {1935-5297}, URL = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/33/2/76}, eprint = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/33/2/76.full.pdf}, journal = {Arboriculture \& Urban Forestry (AUF)} }
