  • Stiffness of Douglas-fir lumber : effects of wood properties and genetics

    Creator:
    Vikram, Vikas
    Abstract:
    Wood stiffness is one of the most important properties of lumber and veneer. We studied wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE), wood density, microfibril angle, and knots in a 25 year-old wind pollinated progeny test (50 families, ~ 373 trees) of coastal Douglas-fir to understand the potential for genetically improving...

  • Simulating Wood Properties in the Context of a Growth and Yield Model for Planted Douglas-fir

    Creator:
    Osborne, Nathaniel L.
    Abstract:
    Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...
