Radial thickness of structural-anatomical components of woody plant parts, 1985-2005

DB Code: 
TD027
Abstract: 

Measurement data is provided for the radial thickness of various tissue types in wood of varying diameters. These data can be used to create equations to predict the fraction of trees comprised of outer bark, inner bark, sapwood, and heartwood.

Study date: 
January 09, 1985 to January 01, 2005
Researchers: 

Becky Fasth, Mark E. Harmon

Purpose: 

This data set was created in conjunction with other studies conducted on coarse and fine woody debris. It is intended as a reference dataset on the radial thickness of woody plant tisssues.
