Physical and mechanical properties of alder wood in stands of Donets steppe
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2013, Vol 123, Issue
Abstract
The paper dwells on questions of assessment of physical and mechanical properties of black alder wood in forest stands of Donets steppe. Natural and basic density and strength of the wood are determined. It has been established that the age of the tree and its diameter are the most informative features that determine the density of the wood of the stem. Natural density of alder barked wood tends to increase until age 50 and then gradually decreases. Basic barked wood density of alder stems is less variable. These values show a considerable stability of alder wood density (and mechanical properties, respectively), which is essential for its practical use.
