High-resolution proxies for wood density variations in Terminalia superba

Background and Aims Density is a crucial variable in forest and wood science and is evaluated by a multitude of methods. Direct gravimetric methods are mostly destructive and time-consuming. Therefore, faster and semito non-destructive indirect methods have been developed. Methods Profiles of wood density variations with a resolution of approx. 50 mm were derived from one-dimensional resistanc…
