An extensive summary of publications reporting radial specific gravity (SG) variation for
North American conifers is presented. SG varies from pith to bark in three distinct patterns …

The use of intensive silviculture to increase forest productivity in commercial plantations will
undoubtedly persist into the future. This review synthesizes and analyses studies that have …

Loblolly pine is a major fibre source for the pulp and paper industry. Here we developed the
first nonlinear models to predict the within-tree and regional variation of tracheid length and …

Key message Xylem maturation depends on cambial age rather than diameter growth in
Shorea macrophylla by the model selections for radial variations in cell length, wood fiber …

Schima superba is a precious broadleaf tree species that produces excellent timber.
Analyzing the radial variation of wood anatomical properties within stems and determining …

This research provides an economic analysis of different management regimes of Pinus
patula plantations destined for saw log production based on land expectation value (LEV) …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of growth characteristics to
compression properties from commercially available southern pine lumber. The in-grade No …

Higher productivities for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) growing at exotic locations (eg,
Hawaii, Brazil) indicate that the full growth potential of this southern pine species has yet to …

Knowledge of wood property variation within trees is critical for understanding age effects on
wood formation and for improved utilization of forests, and maps provide an effective way to …

Tree growth and wood density are influenced by forest management. Nevertheless, few
studies have evaluated their variability responses to fertilizer treatments at inter-annual, inter …
