The heat treatment processes were carried out in electric oven under nitrogen atmosphere, starting from 100 °C until reaching each one of the final temperatures of the process: 120, 140, 160, and 180 °C. The resistance assays were performed for white rot, brown rot, and soft rot fungi. The increase in decay resistance was observed for heat-treated wood of <em>Pinus caribaea</em> at higher temperatures. On the other hand, <em>Eucalyptus saligna</em> showed increased resistance to rotting fungi at all tested temperatures, except for white and soft rot at 120 °C. In general, the heat treatment process showed good results for its use as a wood preservative method.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Maderas-Cienc Tecnol}, author={Otávio Brito, José and Francisco Dias Júnior, Ananias and Queiroz Lana, Artur and Rogério Andrade, Carlos and Fernandes Bernardes, Francisco}, year={2019}, month={Apr.}, pages={223–230} }
