Prediction of End Splitting in Log of Eucalyptus Nitens (H. Deane & Maiden) Maident through Regression Models Using Longitudinal Residual Strain, Physical and Dendrometric Properties
“…This becomes relevant for Eucalyptus nitens, as it is prone to a large amount of end-splitting after harvest (Washusen et al 2009). In this context, Vega et al (2016) and Rozas et al (2021aRozas et al ( , 2021b; observed significant differences in Eucalyptus nitens and significant end-splitting at different time intervals. Similar behavior was observed by other researchers, Franc ¸a ( 2014) reported severe end-splitting from 7 d, Hillis and Brown (1978) reported it on 6 d, and Bariska (1990) on 5 d. However, Lima et al (2002) reported that end-splitting reached its maximum between harvest and 3 d.…”

“…The interest in using fast-growing species in the wood industry has allowed foresters to position the different species of Eucalyptus, as alternative raw materials for the primary conversion industry, mainly due to their high capacity to adapt to different forest sites (Cardoso et al 2005;Lima 2005;Gonc ¸alves et al 2006;Franc ¸a 2014;Rozas et al 2021aRozas et al , 2021b. The main use of fast-grown Eucalyptus species is for pulp and paper production (Balasso et al 2022).…”

“…However, the genus Eucalyptus has high growth stresses, which limits the potential for obtaining production of higher value-added products (Gonc ¸alves et al 2006;Souza 2006;Trugilho et al 2006;Lima et al 2007;Trugilho et al 2007;Biechele et al 2008;Monteiro et al 2010;Valencia et al 2011;Trevisan et al 2013;Cunha et al 2015;Rozas 2015;Vega et al 2016;Rozas et al 2021aRozas et al , 2021b. Growth stresses take the form of end-splitting after harvest and warping during mechanical processing, drying, and use when construction, reducing the yield and quality of wood products (Matos et al 2003;Rozas 2015;Vega et al 2016;Schmidt et al 2019).…”
The selection of Eucalyptus nitens (H. Deane & Maiden) logs for higher value-added products is complex, due to the presence of radial and longitudinal splits as a result of growth stress, which reduces their utilization in solid products. The objective of this research was to determine the limited time for the utilization of the logs to increase their use in higher value-added products. Forty trees with two 4 m logs were used. The radius (r t ), radial, and end-splitting along the log (R long ) were measured on days 0 and 1 in the forest and later on days 7, 14, 21, and 28, at the Universidad del B ıo-B ıo, where they remained under sprinkler irrigation and covered with polyethylene plastic. The relative splitting index (SI) was determined as (R max /r t ) per log. The results showed that there were significant differences in the maximum endsplitting indicator (R max ) with log height and storage time. The SI indicator showed significant differences with storage time, being a better fit than R max . The linear model that showed the relationship between the external openings of the splits and the longitudinal split had a coefficient of determination (r 2 ) of 0.77.
