The term microfibril angle (MFA) in wood science refers to the angle between the direction of
the helical windings of cellulose microfibrils in the secondary cell wall of fibres and tracheids …

Microfibril angle (MFA) is perhaps the easiest ultrastructural variable to measure for wood
cell walls, and certainly the only such variable that has been measured on a large scale …

To maximize utilization of our forest resources, detailed knowledge of wood property
variation and the impacts this has on end-product performance is required at multiple scales …

Most biological tissues are built with polymeric fibres. Two of the most abundant fibres found
in Nature are cellulose and collagen. Cellulose is predominately found in plants, but is also …

Dendrometers are instruments which are used to measure the diameters of trees. This
review considers the use of dendrometers with high spatial and temporal precision in past …

Accurate information on the wood-quality characteristics of standing timber and logs is
needed to optimize the forest production value chain and to assess the potential of forest …

Eucalyptus plantations are some of the most productive, and adaptable to different
environmental conditions. However, harsh environmental conditions can limit the quality of …

The state-of-the-art interpretation of stem radius changes (DRTotal) for tree water relations is
based on knowledge from mostly slow growing tree species. The ratio between diurnal size …

Microfibril angle (MFA) is one of the key determinants of solid timber performance due to its
strong influence on the stiffness, strength, shrinkage properties and dimensional stability of …

The immediate environment of a cambial initial (weather and nutritional factors, growth
regulators, physical stresses) varies continuously over time. Consequently local conditions …
