Variability in density of spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) wood with the presence of reaction wood
The study was aimed to assess the integral value that determines wood properties - wood density at a moisture content of 0% and 12%. The wood density was researched in a sample tree with the presence of reaction compression wood.

Systematic Review: Climate and Non-Climate Factors Influencing Wood Density in the Boreal Zone
Wood density is a crucial factor in determining the quality of wood in boreal ecosystems within the Northern Hemisphere. Climate variables play a significant role in shaping wood density, posing challenges for forest managers and stakeholders in the wood

Influence of production variables and starting material on charcoal stable isotopic and molecular characteristics [PDF]
We present a systematic study on the effect of starting species, gas composition, temperature, particle size and duration of heating upon the molecular and stable isotope composition of high density (mangrove) and low density (pine) wood.
