Effect of site and cambial age on fiber properties of pinus radiata - Thomas Seifert - Bog

Anatomical wood properties such as fiber length and fiber diameter, lumen diameter,cell wall thickness,ring width and early wood/latewood ratio were determined and their change with cambial age and water availability was evaluated. Fiber length, fiber diameter and cell wall thickness increased with increasing cambial age, and ring width and earlywood/latewood ratio decreased with increasing cambial age.
