Evolutionary history shapes variation of wood density of tree species across the world [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Diversity
The effect of evolutionary history on wood density variation may play an important role in shaping variation in wood density, but this has largely not been tested.

Wood density within Norway spruce stems [PDF]

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2008
We studied the variation in average wood density of annual rings, earlywood density, and latewood density in addition to ring width and latewood percentage within Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) stems from the pith to the bark, and from the ...

Variation in Growth, Wood Density, and Stem Taper Along the Stem in Self-Thinning Stands of Sassafras tzumu [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Silvicultural practices greatly improve the economic value of wood products from forests. Stem dimensions, wood density, and stem form are closely linked to end-product performance.

Variation in wood density across South American tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Wood density is a critical control on tree biomass, so poor understanding of its spatial variation can lead to large and systematic errors in forest biomass estimates and carbon maps.

A global map of wood density

open access: yes
Abstract Wood density influences how quickly woody plants grow, how long they live and how much carbon they store, yet its global variation remains poorly mapped. Here we combined 109,626 wood density measurements from 16,829 species with 300,949 vegetation plots to produce a km-scale map of community-weighted wood density for every woody ...

Sources of phenotypic variation of wood density and relationships with mean growth in two Eucalyptus species in Argentina

open access: yesForest Systems, 2021
Aims of the study: To describe the radial patterns of wood density, and to identify their main sources of variation, and the potential tradeoffs with mean tree growth, in two Eucalyptus species.

Gostota lesa - metode določanja in pomen pri razvoju gozdno lesnega biogospodarstva

open access: yesActa Silvae et Ligni, 2021
Wood density is an important physical property that can be easily measured and is closely related to many other wood properties. Furthermore, wood density is a good indicator of the usability and applicability of wood in the wood processing, construction

Plant functional types broadly describe water use strategies in the Caatinga, a seasonally dry tropical forest in northeast Brazil

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
In seasonally dry tropical forests, plant functional type can be classified as deciduous low wood density, deciduous high wood density, or evergreen high wood density species.

A simple field based method for rapid wood density estimation for selected tree species in Western Kenya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Wood density is an important variable for accurate quantification of woody biomass and carbon stocks. Conventional destructive methods for wood density estimation are resource intensive, prohibiting their use, limiting the application of approaches that ...

A reverse chemical ecology approach to explore wood natural durability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The natural durability of wood species, defined as their inherent resistance to wood‐destroying agents, is a complex phenomenon depending on many biotic and abiotic factors.
