ANATOMY AND DRYING OF WOOD OF FOUR SPECIES FROM AN AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM

Drying is an important process in the generation of wood products, as it increases quality final products; however, influenced by various anatomical characteristics. The aim this study was to evaluate influence anatomy on drying Parapiptadenia rigida (Benth.) Brenan, Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub., Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill × urophylla S.T. Blake (hybrid), and Schizolobium parahyba (Vell.) trees from agroforestry system. Three aged 9 years were sampled for each species. removed region when their diameter at breast height (DBH) 1.30 m ground. Blocks made with dimensions 5.0 15.0 cm evaluation oven 1.5 2.0 features. S. has highest value fiber (35.1 µm) lumen (27.6 µm), whereas P. had cell wall thickness (6.8 µm). average equilibrium moisture content 10.98% after 40 days drying. four species intensity, which related humidity during all periods. parameters that most (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.77), (0.76), (0.73); higher values, greater intensity.
