The effect of forest stand thinning on selected strength and pulp-ing characteristics of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Johnson, Donna A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if amount and kind of thinning had an effect on wood specific gravity, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, growth rate, or pulp yield and kappa number. The study involved 24 1/5-acre plots, three plots in each of eight thinning treatments. The...

Effect of thinning and fertilization on wood properties and intra-ring characteristics in young Douglas-fir

Creator:: Bodner, Josef
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if thinning, fertilization or a combination of thinning and fertilization had an effect on overall average specific gravity, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, fiber length and intra-ring characteristics. Material for this experiment consisted of 7 trees randomly selected from each of...

A study of several anatomical variables in relation to their effect on tensile strength of Douglas-fir

Creator:: McMinimy, Lawrence Otto
Abstract:: A microscopic study was conducted on specific gravity wafers taken from standard tensile strength specimens of young growth Douglas-fir. Samples were studied to determine the effect of variables such as percent summerwood, fiber length and fibril angle on tensile strength of Douglas-fir. The sample specimens were picked so effects of...

Evaluating radial compression, color indicator and micro-toughness tests to detect early decay in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Smith, Susan M.
Abstract:: Three methods--radial compression strength, color indicators of decay and micro-toughness, an examination of tracheid fracture patterns, were evaluated for detection of early decay and for application to field use. Three-eighth-inch diameter plugs 3/4-inch long, cut from the sapwood and heartwood of a Douglas-fir pole free of decay, were decayed by...

Microdistribution and retention of chloropicrin in wood

Creator:: Goodell, Barry Scott
Abstract:: Quantitative and qualitative information on the retention of chlorinated residues in chloropicrin treated wood is lacking. Retention of chloropicrin and its chemical breakdown products in wood, and the effects of chloropicrin treatment of wood on invading decay fungi are explored in this thesis. Chlorinated residues in amounts up to 1.5%...

Anatomical and chemical characteristics of the Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (mirb.) Franko) phellem cell

Creator:: Litvay, John Dennis
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) characterize the layering in the wall of the Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga. menziesii (Mirb. ) Franco) phellem cell, 2) determine the pitting present in this cell wall and 3) determine what compounds are present in the middle lamella of this cell. To accomplish the...

The influence of seed source origin and phenological characteristics on wood quality in a young Douglas-Fir Provenance Plantation

Creator:: Robinson, Walter P.
Abstract:: The relationships of several wood quality traits with seed origin and phenological characteristics, measured at a young age, were tested from six seed sources in a young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) provenance plantation. The wood quality traits measured were wood density, uniformity of wood density, percentage latewood, fiber length,...

Effect of seedling characteristics on Kraft pulping properties of young Douglas-fir

Creator:: Chia, Shun Nan
Abstract:: A study has been made of the kraft pulping properties of young Douglas-fir trees which were thinned from an experimental plantation. The purpose of the plantation study is to determine, whether two year old seedlings can be selected on the criteria of height and branch count for future desirable tree...
