Wood properties were assessed on 23 eucalypt clones in southern China using non-destructive methods. They were sampled at 51 months. Correlations between three traits assessed using non-destructive methods and basic density measured on increment core showed that genotypic correlation between Pilodyn penetration and basic density was significantly negative (r -0.83) indicating that basic density could be predicted using Pilodyn. The correlation between basic density and modulus of elasticity was significantly positive (r 0.74). Stress wave velocity was unfavourably correlated with Pilodyn penetration (r -0.20) but correlated with basic density (r 0.52) and modulus of elasticity (r 0.96). This indicates that basic density and modulus of elasticity can be predicted using stress wave velocity.

Abstract

Wood properties were assessed on 23 eucalypt clones in southern China using non-destructive methods. They were sampled at 51 months. Correlations between three traits assessed using non-destructive methods and basic density measured on increment core showed that genotypic correlation between Pilodyn penetration and basic density was significantly negative (r -0.83) indicating that basic density could be predicted using Pilodyn. The correlation between basic density and modulus of elasticity was significantly positive (r 0.74). Stress wave velocity was unfavourably correlated with Pilodyn penetration (r -0.20) but correlated with basic density (r 0.52) and modulus of elasticity (r 0.96). This indicates that basic density and modulus of elasticity can be predicted using stress wave velocity.
