Comparative Properties Of Old- And Young-Growth Giant Sequoia Of Potential Significance To Wood Utilization, Douglas D. Piirto, W. Wayne Wilcox
Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences
A comparative study and a literature review were made on various wood properties (e.g. anatomical characteristics, mechanical properties, specific gravity, content and properties of extractives and decay resistance) of old- and young-growth giant sequoia. Various causes for variability in decay resistance were examined.
