Impact of Tree Growth Rate on the Mechanical Properties of Douglas Fir Lumber in Belgium ; Impact de la vitesse de croissance sur les propriétés mécaniques de sciages de douglas en Belgique
peer reviewed ; In the context of questioning the relevance of making Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) silviculture more dynamic in Wallonia, we evaluated the influence of growth rate on the potential of Douglas-fir lumber for structural uses. Therefore, six trees 120 to 180 cm in circumference at 1.5 m were felled in 11 stands whose age varied from 40 to 69 years (mean circumference of the trees 150 cm; initial planting density from 2200 to 4400 seedlings/ha). In total, 706 boards (38 100 mm2 and 70 180 mm2 in cross section) were cut from these trees, whose average ring widt... Mehr ...
