Citations in the corpus

• Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “For more prosaic uses of timber, such as in construction, timber strength tends to decrease as the grain angle increases and the degree of distortion during drying tends to increase (MacDonald and Hubert 2002).”
• Effects of early re-spacing on the physical and mechanical properties of Sitka spruce structural timber (2009, background): “Spacing influences a number of characteristics including: knot size, the size of the juvenile wood zone, and wood density (Hamilton and Christie, 1974; Macdonald and Hubert, 2002).”
• Multilevel Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models for the Modeling of Earlywood and Latewood Microfibril Angle (2005, background): “MFA has a significant effect on both the mechanical behavior and dimensional stability of wood, and as such is an important quality characteristic for sawn timber (MacDonald and Hubert 2002).”
