• Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “In general, however, knots are the chief source of defect in sawn timber, either in its structural strength or the quality of its surface appearance (Kellomäki et al. 1989; Waugh and Rosza 1991; Yang and Waugh 1996a, b; Washusen et al. 2000b; MacDonald and Hubert 2002; Yang et al. 2002; Wang et al. ”
• Quantifying the influence of live crown ratio on the mechanical properties of clear wood (2013, result): “This is in agreement with Moore et al. (2009), who recommended spacings below 3.3 m for the production of structural lumber in Sitka spruce.”
• Models for predicting microfibril angle variation in Scots pine (2012, background): “…2005; Achim et al. 2006; Moore et al. 2009a; McLean et al. 2010; Gardiner et al. 2011; Watt et al. 2011), and can be used to predict structural timber yields and to provide important information for early selection of desirable wood quality traits (Lee 1999; Moore et al. 2009b; Lenz et al. 2011).”
