Variability in density of spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) wood with the presence of reaction wood
Journal of Forest Science, 2007 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.
