文摘The anatomic features and fiber morphology for 4 acacia species were investigated by the method of comparative analysis, Physical and mechanical properties such as air-dry density, dimension stability, MOR, MOE and toughness were also measured and compared.

Fiber morphology of all 4 acacia species accords with the requirement on pulping and paper-making, so the 4 acacia timbers can be used for pulpwood, A, cincinata is of the greatest air-dry density 721 kg/m^3 and greatest basic density 617 kg/m^3, however, A. mangium is of the best dimensional stability because of its smallest coefficient of shrinkage.
