Water vapor sorption characteristics and hysteresis of earlywood and latewood within the same growth ring of Catalpa bungei
Catalpa bungei is an economically important native hardwood in China whose hygroscopic behavior is vital for industrial applications as it influences...
-
Estimation of the earlywood and latewood ratio with different particle size of dry and wet milled Japanese cedar wood flour by using hyperspectral imaging
Mechanical properties of wood–plastic composites are influenced by a particle size and surface morphology of wood flour. Generally various sizes of...
-
A comparison of the climate response of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) trees among standardized measures of earlywood, latewood, adjusted latewood, and totalwood radial growth
Key messageLongleaf pine radial growth is primarily driven by late summer moisture availability, latewood and adjusted latewood are more sensitive to...
-
Earlywood structure of evergreen conifers near forest line is habitat driven but latewood depends on species and seasons
Key messageNear upper forest line, values of conifer wood anatomical traits are species-specific, but relationships among traits are common. Growing...
