The cell wall of wood tracheids is made up of various layers, distinguished from one other by
the alignment of the innumerable, fine crystalline cellulose microfibrils within each layer that …

Over the past years, a great deal has been learned about variation in wood prop erties.
Genetic control is a major source of variation in most wood properties. Wood is controlled …

Wood properties vary within stems of trees according to genera, species, and individuals.
Such variation is largely systematic and is very pronounced in many pines, notably Pinus …

At present, no single book adequately covers a basic understanding of wood book satisfies
the need for such a work. It describes drying in practice. This the fundamental basis of kiln …

In common with other plantation softwoods, Pinus radiata D. Don exhibits a characteristic
corewood zone which contributes significantly to the overall variation in wood properties …

Abstract Numerical Finite Element models are presented which relate the macroscopic
elastic properties of softwood to local cell characteristics such as cell size, wall thickness …

This chapter aims at highlighting the benefit of numerical methods and their broad
application in the field of wood, engineered wood-based products (EWPs), structural …

Wood properties were studied in> 4 trees x 2 sites x 50 wind-pollinated progenies x 7
populations in a Pinus radiata D. Don provenance-progeny trial in Kaingaroa Forest in the …

Juvenile wood quality in Pinus radiata is affected by factors such as low density, stiffness,
and high microfibril angle, spiral grain, and shrinkage. Adverse genetic correlations between …

In species trials of Eucalyptus nitens (Deane et Maiden) Maiden, E. globulus Labill, and E.
maidenii Labill aged 8 years and 11 years, 10 trees of each species/age were selected to …
