Quantifying the influence of live crown ratio on the mechanical properties of clear wood (2013, background): “…have examined the relationship between wood quality and standard inventory metrics such as stand density and tree diameter (e.g. Willcocks and Bell, 1995; Zhang et al., 2002; Kang et al., 2004; Alteyrac et al., 2005; Jaakkola et al., 2005; Lei et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2007; Jyske et al., 2008).”
Scots Pine and Norway Spruce Wood Properties at Sites with Different Stand Densities (2020, background): “Other studies similarly concluded that thinning (decreasing the number of remaining trees per hectare) decreased WD of Scots pine [11] and Norway spruce [14,15,42].”
Models for predicting wood density variation in Scots pine (2014, unknown): “, 2008) and Norway spruce (Jaakkola et al., 2005).”
Effects of early thinning regime and tree status on the radial growth and wood density of Scots pine (2007, unknown): “However, in both Norway spruce (Picea abies) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana) a slight decrease in wood density was observed after a thinning, mostly in the lower half of the stem (Petty et al. 1990, Barbour et al. 1994, Herman et al. 1998, Pape 1999a,b, Jaakkola et al. 2005 ).”
