Notes:
Summary Relationships between various anatomical parameters and selected physico-mechanical properties of wood were examined statistically in East-Liaoning Oak. Path analysis revealed that the key anatomical factors influencing wood shrinkage vary with the type of shrinkage: both radial and tangential shrinkage are mainly controlled by fiber diameter, differential shrinkage mainly by microfibrillar angle and volumetric shrinkage by tissue proportions; specific gravity is determined directly by percentage of cell wall material, while the percentage, in turn, is closely related to tissue proportions, among which vessel proportion is the most important; tensile strength is closely related to microfibrillar angle and specific gravity is not always a good estimator of strength.
