Physical and mechanical properties of Eucalyptus urophylla

Physical and mechanical properties of Eucalyptus urophylla AbstractEucalyptus urophylla is one the most planted species in world Brazil for presenting excellent productivity, good adaptability to varied types soil climate wide application. The experiment was installed randomized blocks with four replications, linear plots six plants a 3 x 2 m spacing. In this test, 21 progenies were selected three evaluate physical (basic density shrinkage) (shear, compression, modulus elasticity rupture) wood. There no statistical difference between characteristics evaluated because it juvenile basic showed positive correlation radial volumetric shrinkage negative index. DBH or values obtained low but potential increase.
