Juvenileimature Wood Transition in Loblolly Pine as Defined by Annual Ring Specific Gravity, Proportion of Latewood, and Microfibril Angle
The length of juvenility or number of years a tree produces juvenile wood at a fixed height can be defined by the age of the wood at which properties change from juvenile to mature wood. This paper estimates the age of transition from juvenile to mature wood based on ring specific gravity (SG), proportion of annual ring in latewood, and ring average microfibril angle (MFA). The threshold method...
متن کاملEarlywood and latewood elastic properties in loblolly pine
The elastic properties of earlywood and latewood and their variability were measured in 388 specimens from six loblolly pine trees in a commercial plantation. Properties measured included longitudinal modulus of elasticity, shear modulus, specific gravity, microfibril angle and presence of compression wood. Novel testing procedures were developed to measure properties from specimens of 1 mm=1 m...
متن کاملLoblolly Pine
In tests with Pinus taeda L., most properties of wet. formed hardboard were improved by using fiber refined from wood having short, slender tracheids with thin walls. A theoretical analysIs suggested that the fibers fail in bending while under stress induced by the pressing operation. Such bending failures improve conditions for hydrogen bonding, thus improving board properties. Trachelds havmg...

متن کاملSpecific gravity responses of slash and loblolly pine following mid-rotation fertilization
Wood quality attributes were examined in six stands of slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) in the lower Coastal Plain of Georgia and Florida. Several plots comprised each stand, and each plot was divided so that it received three fertilizer treatments: a control treatment with herbaceous weed control at planting and brush control at mid-rotation o...
