Relationships between growth stress and wood properties in poplar I-69 (Populus deltoides Bartr. cv. “Lux” ex I-69/55)
Relation entre contrainte de croissance et propriétés du bois de peuplier I-69 (Populus deltoides Bartr. cv. “Lux” ex I-69/55)
Annals of Forest Science volume 65, page 307 (2008)
Abstract
Six inclined poplar I-69 (Populus deltoids cv. I-69/55) trees were collected for studying the influence of growth stress level on wood properties. Growth stress indicator (GSI) was measured at eight positions around the periphery of each trunk at breast height and corresponding wood samples were obtained. Wood anatomical, physico-mechanical and chemical characteristics were measured, including cell diameter, fibre length, double wall thickness excluding the gelatinous layer, lumen diameter after gelatinous layer removal, proportion of wood tissues, basic density, FSP, MOE, compressive strength, shrinkage and chemical composition. Each property was regarded and discussed in relation to the growth stress level.
Résumé
Six peupliers I-69 (Populus deltoides Bartr. cv. “Lux” ex I-69/55) inclinés ont été collectés pour étudier l’influence du niveau de contrainte de croissance sur les propriétés du bois. Des mesures d’indicateur de contrainte de croissance (ICC) ont été réalisées en huit positions à la périphérie de chaque tronc à 1,30 m et des échantillons ont été prélevés dans le bois à proximité. Des mesures anatomiques, physico-mécaniques et chimiques ont été réalisées : diamètre et longueur de fibre, épaisseur de la double paroi et diamètre du lumen hors couche gélatineuse, proportion des différents types de tissus, infradensité, point de saturation des fibres, module d’élasticité, limite élastique en compression, retrait et composition chimique. L’évolution des propriétés avec le niveau de contrainte de croissance est décrite et discutée.
