High-resolution analysis of radial growth and wood density in Eucalyptus nitens, grown under different irrigation regimes

Abstract: -Wood density is the most important determinant of wood quality and a critical factor in short rotation forestry. Daily radial growth of six-year-old Eucalyptus nitens trees were monitored on a two hectare plantation in south-eastern Tasmania using point dendrometers, under different irrigation regimes. At the end of the second growing season 12-mm cores were extracted from the trees and processed for high-resolution wood density using SilviScan-2. The dendrometer measurements were utilized to rescale wood den… Show more

“…Few deviations were found in function of position, indicating a very homogenous shell structure. The average density was 0.688 ± 0.057 gcm -3 close to values of eucalyptus wood as measured by Wimmer et al, (2002) and by Macedo et al, (2002). Concerning water absorption, the resultant gain of mass as a function of time is presented in Figure 5.…”

“…As árvores de eucalipto em plantações florestais, monitoradas com dendrômetros, apresentam sazonalidade do crescimento em diâmetro do tronco influenciada pelas condições climáticas, como a precipitação, temperatura, déficit de pressão de vapor etc. (VALENZIANO e SCARAMUZZI, 1967;GREEN, 1969;MARIEN e THIBOUT, 1980;DOWNES et al, 1999;WIMMER et al, 2002;LACLAU et al, 2005;DREW et al, 2008). Para Fahn et al (1981), a periodicidade da atividade do câmbio parece ser decorrente de alterações na temperatura, comprimento do dia e precipitação pluviométrica, com os fatores endógenos inerentes a cada espécie controlando o seu ritmo de crescimento.…”

“…Such conversion requires recording of high-resolution growth data. This can be done using either band dendrometers (for example [13]) or point dendrometers (for example [7,29]). To our knowledge, such devices have never been used to record diameter growth on a genetically structured population.…”
