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.

The Tervuren xylarium Wood Density Database (TWDD) [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Data
Wood density is a key plant property, indispensable for estimating forest biomass. Yet, despite tropical regions’ substantial contributions to global tree diversity and carbon cycling, they remain underrepresented in wood density datasets such as the ...

Geographic Variations of the Wood Density and Fiber Dimensions of the Persian Oak Wood [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2020
Persian oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) is a valuable native species in Iranian forests with very limited availability of data on its wood properties. The objective of the current study was to determine the influence of altitude and slope on physical properties and fiber dimensions of Persian oak wood.

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.

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 ...

Effects of wood density on mechanical properties of mangrove wood from the Amazon coast. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One
Mangrove forests are essential on the Amazon coast, as local communities widely use their wood. However, it is still necessary to understand the mechanical properties of wood typical of mangroves. Our main objective was to understand the influence of density on mechanical properties.

Biomass dynamics in a logged forest: the role of wood density. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Plant Res, 2018
Wood density (WD) is believed to be a key trait in driving growth strategies of tropical forest species, and as it entails the amount of mass per volume of wood, it also tends to correlate with forest carbon stocks. Yet there is relatively little information on how interspecific variation in WD correlates with biomass dynamics at the species and ...

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.

Wood Density and Carbon Concentration Jointly Drive Wood Carbon Density of Five Rosaceae Tree Species [PDF]

open access: yesForests
Wood can store carbon and help mitigate global climate change. Carbon density (CD), the basis for measuring and analyzing C storage, is the product of wood density (WD) and C concentration, which are dependent on wood structure, cellulose concentration (CC), hemicellulose concentration (HC), and lignin concentration (LC).

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.
