Variability of European beech wood density as influenced by interactions between tree-ring growth and aspect

Forest Ecosystems, 2016
Background: Wood density is considered to be the most important predictor of wood quality but despite its importance, diffuse-porous tree species have been the subject of only a limited number of studies.

Predicting wood density of growth increments of Douglas-fir stands in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2018
Background Douglas-fir comprises 6% of New Zealand’s planted forest area and contributes to the national carbon sequestration estimate. Carbon stock changes in Douglas-fir stem wood can be calculated by multiplying the increment in stem volume under bark

Influence of production variables and starting material on charcoal stable isotopic and molecular characteristics [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Global patterns of tree wood density [PDF]

Global Change Biology
AbstractWood density is a fundamental property related to tree biomechanics and hydraulic function while playing a crucial role in assessing vegetation carbon stocks by linking volumetric retrieval and a mass estimate. This study provides a high‐resolution map of the global distribution of tree wood density at the 0.01° (~1 km) spatial resolution ...

Relationships Between Wood-Anatomical Features and Resistance Drilling Density in Norway Spruce and European Beech

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Environmental conditions affect tree-ring width (TRW), wood structure, and, consequently, wood density, which is one of the main wood quality indicators.

Influence of growth parameters on wood density of Acacia auriculiformis

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2022
Understanding the drivers of wood density variation both within a tree and between trees is important in predicting the quality of wood logs and improving this quality through adequate forestry management.

Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America [PDF]

, 2008
: The dynamics of tropical forest woody plants was studied at the Nouragues Field Station, central French Guiana. Stem density, basal area, above-ground biomass and above-ground net primary productivity, including the contribution of litterfall, were ...

Functional Relationships Between Branch and Stem Wood Density for Temperate Tree Species in North America

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Wood density is strongly related to key aspects of tree physiological performance. While many studies have examined wood density in different parts of trees, for a variety of reasons, there are very few studies that have compared within-tree density ...
