“…Image analysis was used to quantify these images. After the confocal cross-sectional image was processed into a binary image, the fibre transverse dimensions were obtained (Jang et al 1992).…”

Fundamental wood and fibre properties determine end product quality potential. They are affected by silvicultural practices. Initial stand stocking density has significant economic implications for both forest managers and industrial end users. An evaluation of the wood density and fibre properties of 38-year-old coastal western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) planted at five different spacings was completed. We determined that the wood density was not affected by spacing. At the widest spacing, the outer wood fibre length was significantly shorter than at the four tighter spacings. Fibre coarseness and cell wall properties were similar at all spacings. This implies that wood chips prepared from a range of small-diameter thinnings material will not adversely affect kraft pulp fibre properties.Résumé : Les propriétés fondamentales du bois et des fibres déterminent la qualité potentielle du produit fini. Ces propriétés sont affectées par les pratiques sylvicoles. La densité initiale des tiges dans un peuplement a d'importantes implications économiques tant pour les aménagistes forestiers que pour les utilisateurs industriels en bout de ligne. Nous avons évalué la densité du bois et les propriétés des fibres de pruches de l'Ouest (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) âgées de 38 ans et plantées selon cinq espacements différents. Nous avons établi que la densité du bois n'était pas affectée par l'espacement. Les fibres dans l'aubier étaient significativement plus courtes pour l'espacement le plus grand que pour les quatre autres espacements qui étaient plus faibles. La grosseur des fibres et les propriétés de la paroi cellulaire étaient semblables pour tous les espacements. Cela implique que des copeaux préparés à partir d'une variété de tiges de petit diamètre récoltées lors d'une éclaircie n'auront pas d'effets néfastes sur les propriétés des fibres pour la pâte Kraft.[Traduit par la Rédaction] Watson et al. 2468

“…These parameters may be quantified based on cross-sectional analysis. Several microscopy techniques have been utilised for pulp fibre assessment, including light microscopy (LM) (Kibblewhite and Bailey, 1988) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) (Jang et al, 1991(Jang et al, , 1992. In addition, the suitability of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for quantification of fibre cross-sectional dimensions has been demonstrated (see, e.g.…”
