Within- and between-tree variation of wood density components in Pinus nigra at six sites in Portugal
In Europe, P. nigra wood presents a density pattern of longitudinal variation with an increase from east to west. However, no latitudinal tendencies were detected. Compared to other Portuguese resinous species, P...

Variation in wood density and ring width in Acacia melanoxylon at four sites in Portugal
The radial variation in wood density in Acacia melanoxylon R. Br. was studied using microdensitometry by sampling 20 trees with a 40-cm diameter class at four sites in Portugal. The measurements were taken from ...

Open AccessRadial variation of wood density components and ring width in cork oak trees
The radial variation of ring width and wood density was studied in cork oaks (Quercus suber) using microdensitometry. The observations were made in young never debarked cork oaks (30–40 years of age) and in matur...
