“…Contrary to results reported by Moya and Muñoz (2008), Moya et al (2013) and Salas and Moya (2014) for G. melina lumber. This condition could be associated to the drying method (Klaiber and Seeling 2004), schedules (Salas and Moya, 2014), presence of juvenile wood (Zobel and Sprague 1998), growth stresses in the tree (Archer 1986) and anatomical variation (Moya and Muñoz 2008).…”

The effect of three levels thinning intensity in Gmelina arborea plantation on tree diameter, heartwood (diameter and percentage), wood density and drying defects (twist, crook, bow and check) was studied. Wood used for this study was obtained from eight-year-old plantations with thinning intensity of 60, 70 and 80% of initial density. Nine trees were selected from each trial. Results showed that tree diameter and wood density were similar in thinning intensity of 70 and 80%, but tree diameter from the plantation with 60% of thinning intensity was lower than plantation of 70 and 80%. Wood density of trees from 60% thinning intensity plantation was higher than 70 and 80%. Heartwood diameter and its percentage were the highest in 80% of thinning intensity. But not difference was found between 60 and 70% in heartwood (diameter and percentage). Finally, drying defects were not affected significantly by thinning intensity.

“…Drying defects (warp, split and check), measured in incidence and magnitude, agree with values obtained by Moya et al (2013) and Salas and Moya (2014). And the increment in defects after drying can be explained by the shrinkage within boards, especially in juvenile wood present in the air driedlumber (Bhat et al 2001).…”

“…Each board was evaluated before (green condition) and after air-drying to determine the presence of defects such as warp (bow, cup, crook and twist), splitting and checking were also determined. The method suggested by Salas and Moya (2014) was used to evaluate drying defects. Boards were measured for maximum bent, and warp on a flat table.…”

The influence of climatic and site fertility conditions affect wood quality from fast growing trees. The change in tree diameter, thickness of sapwood, heartwood percentage and bark and pith tissue, physical and mechanical properties, resistance to termite attack and the presence of drying defects on lumber boards were evaluated. Four teak trees (Tectona grandis L.f.) from fast growing plantations in Costa Rica were selected for the study. Teak trees of 11 years old growing in two climatic conditions and two fertility types (high and low fertility) in Costa Rica were studied. The results showed that tree diameter, sapwood thickness, pith diameter and its percentage were higher in the climate with more rainfall and greater fertility. However, the percentage of heartwood and bark were higher at low fertility sites with less rainfall. It was also observed that only sites with low fertility produce modifications in specify gravity, fiber saturation point, initial moisture content, MOR in flexion in green and dry condition, MOE in bending and resistance to termite attack. Incidence and magnitude of defects increased with drying, and were mainly affected when wood comes from younger trees from high fertility sites and growing in tropical moist forest climate.
