Effects of early re-spacing on the physical and mechanical properties of Sitka spruce structural timber
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of early re-spacing on the physical and mechanical properties of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis [Bong.] Carr.) structural-dimensioned timber were studied using material from a fully replicated 57-year-old trial located in Northern Ireland, which had been thinned at age 11 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Within- and between-stand variation in selected properties of Sitka spruce sawn timber in the UK: implications for segregation and grade recovery

TL;DR: In this paper, the variation in selected properties of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) structural timber was quantified by measuring the dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEdyn) on each tree and log using portable acoustic instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of site and stand factors on the tree and wood quality of Sitka spruce growing in the United Kingdom.
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent and sources of variation in the wood quality of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) were quantified using data collected from 64 stands in northern Britain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of rotation length on the grade recovery and wood properties of Sitka spruce structural timber grown in Great Britain
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of rotation length on the structural properties of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) structural timber has not been quantified, but rotation length is known to affect timber quality in many plantation species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of early respacing on the density and microfibril angle of Sitka spruce wood
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of early respacing on the density and microfibril angle (MfA) of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis [Bong.] Carr.) wood using samples taken from a fully-replicated 57-year-old trial located in Northern Ireland, which had been thinned at age 11 years.
