Evaluation of wood properties from six native species of forest plantations in Costa Rica

Abstract: SUMMARYThis study details information about physical, chemical and mechanical properties, drying, preservation and workability of wood from Cordia alliodora, Dipteryx panamensis, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Hieronyma alchorneoides, Samanea saman and Vochysia ferruginea trees, growing in forest plantations in Costa Rica. Variation of the general properties in relation to height showed that heartwood percentage decreases, bark percentage increases and pith percentage is not affected. Dipteryx panamensis showed bot… Show more

“…The results found for pith percentage have a variation of 0.4% to 0.7% (Fig. 4d), which are similar to those found for different tropical species growing in pure plantations (Tenorio, Moya, Salas, and Berrocal, 2016).…”

“…This pattern of height is observed in both populations, however there are differences between the diameters when an increase in the bark occurs along the stem (Fig. 4) The decrease of heartwood with height is common in trees (Moya, Salas, Berrocal, Valverde, 2015;Tenorio et al, 2016) and the trend found in 7-year-old C. odorata trees growing in an agroforestry system with cocoa ( Fig. 4a) is congruent with this.…”

“…En los perfiles de variación en sentido longitudinal se observa que los pellets presentan irregularidades (Figura 2) que pueden estar relacionadas con el tamaño de partículas (Mani, Tabil, & Sokhansanj, 2003) y los problemas que la biomasa presenta al momento de someterla a presión. Un menor tamaño de las partículas produce mayor densidad de los pellets, debido a la mayor facilidad en la compresión de la biomasa (Quirino, de Oliveira, de Souza, & Tomazello, density and chemical composition (Stelte et al, 2012); for example, Tenorio, Moya, Salas, and Berrocal (2016) indicate that the amount of extractives in D. panamensis varies from 10 to 20 % in different solvents, whereas in G. arborea is less than 10 % (Moya & Tenorio, 2013).…”

“…G. arborea ha sido ampliamente estudiada y se le señalan una serie de cualidades para ser utilizada con fines estructurales (Moya, 2004;Tenorio, Moya y Camacho, 2012;Moya, Tenorio, Carranza, Camacho y Quesada, 2013). En tanto que H. alchorneoides ha sido utilizada para reforestación comercial en Costa Rica y el estudio de las propiedades de la madera de árboles de plantación ha demostrado altos valores de resistencia estructural (Moya, Leandro y Murillo, 2009;Tenorio et al, 2016a).…”
