Abstract:Higher productivities for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) growing at exotic locations (e.g., Hawaii, Brazil) indicate that the full growth potential of this southern pine species has yet to be reached in plantations across the southeastern United States (US). The higher productivity of Hawaii-grown loblolly pine has been attributed to more favorable climate conditions. To date, physical, anatomical, and chemical property data for loblolly pine wood from exotic locations are scarce. Mid-infrared spectroscopy cou… Show more
