The individual characteristics are then categorized into four groups: ·        Wood characteristics inherent in a tree?s natural growth ·        Biotically-induced wood characteristics ·        Abiotically-induced wood characteristics ·        Types and causes of cracks New to this English edition is a comparison of wood characteristics found in trees from the boreal, temperate and tropical climate zones. The results show a clear relationship between the effects of sunshine duration, the vertical and horizontal angle of radiation, and crown coverage and the way wood characteristics form. The book addresses all those who work with wood professionally: foresters, gardeners and arborists who want to be able to observe a living tree and identify its internal features and the causes of its prominent wood characteristics. Based on the findings described in this book they can determine how to avoid certain undesirable characteristics, or alternatively how to promote favorable ones as the tree and stand grow. Botanists and dendrologists will learn how wood characteristics arise, and how they affect living trees and wood products. The needs of wood technologists seeking to prevent adverse wood characteristics from influencing wood processing, or to enhance favorable wood characteristics, are also addressed. 606 $aForest products 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aTrees 606 $aWood Science & Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22032 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aTree Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22024 615 0$aForest products. 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aTrees. 615 14$aWood Science & Technology. 615 24$aForestry. 615 24$aTree Biology. 676 $a570 676 $a582.16 676 $a620.12 676 $a634.9 700 $aRichter$b Christoph$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0311435 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298281003321 996 $aWood Characteristics$92517344 997 $aUNINA
