Evaluating the role of biotic and abiotic factors in hardwood tree development in the Central Hardwood Region (CHR) [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Hardwood tree growth and development are influenced by the interplay between soil microbiota and tree physiology. Though unclear mechanistically, microbial community composition is associated with tree growth.

Utilization of the Eastern Hardwood Resource by the Hardwood Sawmilling Industry [PDF]
Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2001 Abstract The eastern hardwood resource contains numerous species that differ in grain, color, texture, and workability. Because the value of hardwoods is derived from appearance, these variations in physical attributes can cause the price for identical grades of hardwood lumber to vary by as much as 600% between species.
