Regional Comparisons of Wood Density and Branch Size in Low Stand Density Lodgepole Pine

Résumé du livre

Examines relationships between tree diameter at breast height, wood density, and knot size in good-site, low stand density lodgepole pine from five different biogeoclimatic zones in British Columbia. At least 30 trees were selected from stands at each site, and average basic wood density was determined from two cores obtained from each sample tree. Lumber strength estimates using a previously developed regression equation are also made.
