Low-density wood produces composites with low dimensional stability, requiring a high
compaction ratio (CR) to produce an oriented strand board (OSB). This study evaluates the …

Acetylation of softwoods has been largely investigated to increase the dimensional stability
and biological resistance of wood. However, the knowledge of this technology has not been …

This study evaluated the wood properties of 5-and 7-year-old Acacia mangium trees planted
in West Java, Indonesia. A plot (20 by 20 m) was selected in each stand. The stem diameter …

Poplar trees can be grown on marginal land to conserve water and recycle nutrients, but the
wood has poor mechanical properties for structural applications. This study evaluated the …

The growth characteristics, anatomical characteristics, and wood properties of Dysoxylum
mollissimum, a fastgrowing tree species, were investigated. To clarify the effect of radial …

The relaxation of growth stress in trees from plantation forests of tropical areas is manifested
in the quality of wood after the sawing and the relaxation of drying stress is expressed during …

Fast growing wood species has become more promising as alternative wood sources to
solve the gap between wood demand and supply. In this study, we focus on their fiber …

Application of optimum initial plant spacing is one of the most important silvicultural practices
to maximize the survival and growth performance of established plants at field. A field …

Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, with different spacings, viz. 1 x 1 m, 1.2 x 1.2 m and 1.5 x 1.5
m. The experiment was established in July 2019 and data were recorded for the first and …

Background In recent decades the future of global forests has been a matter of increasing
concern, particularly in relation to the threat of forest ecosystem responses under potential …
