Abstract:
Wood stiffness or modulus of elasticity (MOE) is one of the most important wood properties for solid timber applications, and as such, the efficacy of wood use, especially for structural timber is strongly related to MOE. MOE in Pinus radiata is highly variable and poorly understood. In this study, the effect of initial stand spacing and breed on outerwood MOE and the vertical distribution of MOE of Pinus radiata was assessed. Understanding positive or negative influences of growth caused by initial stand spacing and genetic material on MOE is appealing because it could enable us to better com

The study of a methodology to model the mechanical properties of Pinus Radiata takes place from the nanoscopic cell fiber [3] to the board scale level.

Unfortunately, earlier work was done on published data from various sources, not necessary related to Pinus Radiata nor from a common reference piece of characterized Pinus Radiata, making correlation with experimental work [4] difficult.

Abstract:
The ontogeny of vascular cambium and the wood formation in the 8 month-old Pinus radiata have been examined. The results showed that the procambium develops from the subapical meristem parenchyma, which is converted to pro cambial cells by periclinal division about 0.5 mm from the shoot tip. The interfascicular cambium originates from the interfascicular parenchyma, which is also derived from the subapical meristem. Transverse sections show that the interfascicular parenchyma convert to interfascicular cambial cells requires activation by the fascicular cambium. The vascular cambium was establ

Abstract:
New Zealand grown Pinus radiata is limited in its application for structural purposes by its stiffness deficiencies. This dissertation aims to estimate potential improvements in stem value through selection for improved stiffness. A new method to model and value volumes of structural wood grades within a stem was used to calculate these value improvements. Data for each stem from a stand in Kaingaroa Forest bred for improved wood quality was used to perform this analysis. This data was from a stand bred for improved wood quality and included information on the stiffness, density and width of e

Memoria para optar al Título Profesional de Ingeniero Forestal<br>La madera de pino radiata, principal recurso maderero del país, es de baja durabilidad. Hongos e insectos, entre otros factores de su deterioro, son usualmente los más relevantes. Del grupo de los insectos, en particular la termita subterránea “Reticulitermes flavipes”, representa hoy la mayor preocupación, por su agresividad y avance permanente en áreas pobladas del país. El arseniato de cobre cromado (CCA) fue, por décadas, el preservante más utilizado en todo el mundo para proteger la madera, sin embargo, preocupaciones med

Abstract:
Sphaeropsis sapinea é conhecido como um importante patógeno de várias espécies de Pinus, causando a seca de ponteiros e a morte de árvores em plantios comerciais. Esse patógeno foi introduzido no Brasil, provavelmente, durante as introduções do gênero Pinus. Seu primeiro relato ocorreu na década de 1940, com os primeiros plantios de P. radiata no estado de São Paulo, os quais foram dizimados. Um projeto de reintrodução dessa espécie florestal no Brasil foi delineado para a seleção de famílias de P. radiata resistentes a S. sapinea. Desse modo, este estudo objetivou a caracterização morfológica

Abstract:
Background: The objective of this study was to verify the effect that plot locational errors, termed plot co-registration errors, have on the strength of regression between LiDAR canopy metrics and the measured total standing volume (TSV) of plots in a Pinus radiata forest. Methods: A 737 hectare plantation of mature Pinus radiata located in Northern Hawkes Bay was selected for the study. This forest had been measured in a pre-harvest inventory and had aerial LiDAR assessment. The location of plots was verified using a survey-grade GPS. Least square linear regression models were developed to p

The objective of this study was to determine how final stocking influences tree growth and radial and longitudinal variation in wood properties at a Pinus radiata D. Don plantation located at one of the warmest forest sites in New Zealand, Forsyth Downs forest in Northland. This thesis addressed both the effect of stocking on stand basal area, height, diameter and branch diameter and the effect of stocking on wood properties microfibril angle (MFA), module of elasticity and density. Finally, how ring width influences wood properties and whether this variable accounts for the treatment effects

Abstract:
South Africa lags behind the rest of the world with regard to the availability of allometric biomass information. There is a complete lack of site specific allometric data for Pinus radiata in the southern Cape region, impeding investment in the renewable energy sector. This shortcoming was addressed by developing up-scalable, single tree biomass models. These models quantify the aboveground biomass of rotation age P. radiata grown in the southern Cape across a range of site conditions. The models use diameter at breast height (DBH) to predict the aboveground component biomass. A nutrient loss

With growing demand for these species, research on genetic improvement has increased to find new, more productive germplasm and preferably in less time. Two species were used in the study: slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don).

Abstract:
Although it has long been recognized that physiological acclimation of photosynthesis and respiration can occur in plants exposed to changing environmental conditions (e.g. light, temperature or stress), the extent of acclimation in different tissues (i.e. pre-existing and new foliage) however, has not received much attention until recently. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the extent of photosynthetic and respiratory acclimation under natural conditions, where air temperatures vary diurnally and seasonally. In this study, the effects of variations in temperature on respiratory CO2 l

Abstract:
A study was done to determine the kinetics and stoichiometry of hypochlorite bleaching of pinus radiata kraft pulp obtained from the extraction stage of a chlorine, caustic extraction and hypochlorite (CEH) bleaching sequence. The "differential method" of experimentation was used, where bleaching chemicals are charged at the start of the experiment and allowed to decrease as bleaching proceeds. The bleaching rate is found to be dependent on temperature, chromophore concentration (approximated by the specific light absorption coefficient), hypochlorite ion concentration (OCl-) and hydroxide ion

Abstract:
This report examines stem breakage of Pinus radiata as a result of mechanical felling in Kinleith forest. Four machines were studied, two Bell TF120 feller-bunchers and two Timbco T445 hydro-bunchers. The machines broke between 84% and 100% of the trees felled. Most causes of breakage could not be determined. Of that which could, falling trees striking stumps and previously felled logs accounted for the majority of the breakage. The machine operators and the machine types studied were deemed to be significantly different and thus separate breakage functions were derived for each operator an
