“…The data used as input variables in ANN for evaluating wood can be physical and mechanical characteristics (Nasir et al, 2018), heat treatment temperature (Van Nguyen et al, 2018, Zanuncio et al, 2017, tree age (Leite et al, 2016), wood species (Van Nguyen et al, 2018), basic density (Zanuncio et al, 2016), basal area (in m 2 / ha), annual average increment (in m³/ ha / year), total height and diameter at 1.3 m from the ground (Leite et al, 2016). This study is pioneering in using mineral elements contained in charcoals as predictive variable in ANN modeling.…”
