WebCorky

WebCorky is a web adaptadion of a desktop tool present insIMfLOR(Faias, 2012) to project cork caliber samples of a Quercus suber L. stand. The application uses equations developed by Almeida et al. (2010).

WebCorky has a simple sample and multisample projection interface. The latter alows the classification of the samples evolution in time, in order to support a decision on when is the best time to debark the stand.

The classification uses the standard industry nomenclature for cork caliber:

Class Name Nr Lines (1 line=2.256mm) milimeters
Refugo <6 <13.54
Delgadinha >=6 and <10 >=13.54 and <22.56
Delgada >=10 and <12 >=22.56 and <27.07
Meia Marca >=12 and <14 >=27.07 and <31.58
Marca >=14 and <18 >=31.58 and <40.61
Grossa <=18 and <24 >=40.61 and <54.14
Triangulo >=24 >=54.14
