Anatomical, physical and mechanical characterization of the wood of three eucalyptus species: E. camaldulensis Dehn, E. cladocalyx and E. gomphocephala
Abstract:Eucalyptus represents the second largest tree plantation in Algeria after Aleppo pine. However, the valorisation of its wood as lumber and wood products remains unsatisfactory. This study investigates the anatomical, physical and mechanical properties of three eucalyptus wood species (E. camaldulensis Dehn, E. cladocalyx, and E. gomphocephala), which are 35 years old. The obtained results showed that the wood of E. gomphocephala and E. cladocalyxare classified in the high-density category, while the wood of E.… Show more
