“…Contrary to previous findings [17,20,57], which suggest that RD increases with age, our results reveal that the average trends of the variables studied remain constant, except in the case of ED and LD in P. nigra nigra and LD in P. nigra salzmannii. In fact, the increase in RD over time is commonly associated with increments in LD and LWP and stability of ED [16,18].…”

“…Our results confirm that P. nigra presents higher RD than P. sylvestris [41,57,58]. However, the cambial age of transition from juvenile to mature wood is earlier in P. sylvestris than in P. nigra [16,41].…”

“…It has also already been proved that the rate of growth had less influence on the mechanical strength than the quality of site where the trees developed (Fernandez-Golfin and Diez, 1996;FernandezGolf in Seco et aL, 2004;Oliva et a/., 2006) In our case, the rate of growth reduced northwards. Many authors mentioned that a growth increase might lead to a decrease of wood quality, especially in regard to mechanical properties, those being necessary for wood products used for structural applications (Shmulsky and Jones, 2011).…”

“…Koizumi et al (1992) came to similar conclusion in Japanese larch, and Tsoumis and Passialis (1977) also found that there is no relationship between growth rate and density. On the other hand, Yao (1970) showed that there is a inverse relationship between ring width and density in Pinus taeda and similar results were found by Zhang and Oliva in several species and in Pinus nigra respectively (Oliva et a/., 2006;Zhang, 1995).…”
