Crown characteristics slightly improve lumber mechanical property models for black spruce (Picea mariana(Mill.) BSP)

Abstract: Most models of modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) use classical dendrometric variables and do not use crown characteristics that are known to influence wood formation and properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of including crown variables in black spruce MOE and MOR models. Values of MOE and MOR were measured on 99 boards from 21 black spruce trees located in nine stands in the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec (Canada). Site, tree and crown variables (crown sur… Show more
