Abstract:Log characteristics and basic density were evaluated in four common Mongolian softwoods, Pinus sylvestris L., Pinus sibirica Du Tour, Picea obovata Ledeb., and Larix sibirica Ledeb. by developing the linear or nonlinear mixed-effects models for longitudinal and radial variations of measured characteristics. Total of 19 trees from four species were used in this study. Log taper and juvenile wood percentage increased from base to treetop in all species, except for log taper in Pinus sylvestris. Dynamic young's m… Show more
