Effect of growth rate on the anatomy, specific gravity, and bending properties of wood from 7-year-old red alder (Alnus rubra)

Lei, H.; Gartner, B. L.; Milota, M. R. (NRC Canada, 1997)

Understanding the association between growth rate and wood properties is of practical importance to maximizing and sustaining wood and fiber production. Anatomical characteristics, specific gravity, and bending propertie ...
Is long primary growth associated with stem sinuosity in Douglas-fir?

Gartner, B. L.; Johnson, G. R. (NRC Canada, 2006)

Stem sinuosity is a highly visible stem-form trait in the leaders of fast-growing Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. (Mirb.) Franco) trees, yet its cause is unknown. We tested the hypotheses that sinuous stems have ...
