Growth and wood properties of a 38-year-old Populus simonii 3 P.nigra plantation established with different densities in semi-arid areas of northeastern China

To characterize the effects of plantation densities on the growth characteristics(diameter at breast level,tree height and volume)and the common wood properties,38-year-old Populus simonii 9 P.nigra clones planted with four levels of spacing(2 m 92 m,3 m 93 m,4 m 94 m,and 5 m 95 m)in a semi-arid area in northeastern China were examined.The results of ANOVA showed significant differences(P\0.01)for all the investigated growth traits and wood properties under different plantation densities,except for the chemical composition of wood.The repeatability and phenotypic variations of all the traits varied from 0.34 to 0.99 and from 13.45 to 59.65%,respectively.Except for wood density,which was significantly negatively correlated with the growth traits,a positive correlation was observed between the growth traits and all the other wood mechanical properties.However,most of the correlations between the growth traits and the chemical composition of the wood were not significant.The path analysis for the wood mechanical characteristics and the growth in the prediction of volume were significant and ranged from 0.18 to 0.72 for wood density and diameter at breast height,respectively,while those for the chemical composition of wood ranged from 0.001 to 0.336,which showed a low impact on the volume.The highest stand volume(610 m3)per hectare was observed with the 2 m 92 m spacing,which consequently provided a high total price and income,while a high individual volume growth per tree was observed with the 5 m 95 m spacing.The results suggested that for the poplar trees younger than 40 years in a semi-arid area in China,2 m 92 m spacing is suitable for obtaining a high volume per hectare,while 5 m 95 m spacing is best for obtaining a high individual volume per tree.

杨树林带木材纤维长度变化规律及其在经营中的应用

为探讨农田防护林合理经营的最佳途径，本文从林带木材生物学特性研究入手，针对杨树农田防护林带不同品种、不同立地、不同行位和不同年龄木纤维长度的变化规律进行了研究，结果表明，杨树林带木纤维长度的变化主要受品种和年龄的影响，与林带特殊生境无显著相关；通过林带纤维长度频率分布和木纤维长度与年龄相关关系的分析，建立了一系列相关模型，据此得出了林带木纤维长度相对稳定的年龄；该年龄即为农田防护林带开始进入全面有效防护农田状态时的年龄，此时林带所达到的树高可作为农田防护林规划设计的成林高。由此为农田防护林带的经营提供了可靠的木材生物学依据。

基于近红外光谱技术预测木材纤维长度

介绍了近红外光谱分析技术应用于测量木材纤维长度的基本原理及流程。采用化学计量学中的偏最小二乘和完全交互验证法,通过建立了我国人工林造纸针叶材湿地松和阔叶材滩地72杨木材样品近红外光谱与纤维长度实验值之间的校正模型,来预测相应树种木材的纤维长度。模型的相关指标表明,近红外光谱分析技术可以快速准确地对这两种木材的纤维长度进行预测。

杨树无性系木材纤维长度和宽度的株内变异

对7个杨树无性系纤维形态的测定研究表明,前6,8,11年内7个无性系纤维长度在胸径处的变异不显著,最大的I 69杨比最小的95杨纤维长度增加了6.6%。纤维长度和宽度在7个无性系中从髓心到树皮的径向变异均表现为显著增加,但宽度增加没有长度增加显著。纤维形态在株内纵向变异规律为:纤维长度在同一年轮内不同高度间的变异均是树干基部较小,随树高的增加纤维长度逐渐增加,树高增加到5.6m后纤维长度达到最大,随后波动较小,至17.6m又开始下降;纤维宽度在树干基部到3.6m的范围内较大,而超过3.6m后开始减小。回归分析表明,纤维长度与年轮及树干高度的关系可用多项式描述。树木生理年龄是影响纤维形态的一个主要因子。

几个黑杨杂交无性系的材质测定及其评价

杨树是我国重要的速生树种,也是作为造纸等工业原料的重要树种。生长量是杨树的重要性状指标,但除此之外,容积密度和纤维长等在材性上表现较佳的优良品种的培育也越来越受到社会的关注。中国的杨树材质研究过去大多都只一味地注重和研究与材性有关的性状,此次我们利用多个性状求出了选择指数,然后初步选择了生长量较好,且容积密度等材性性状也表现良好的无性系。调查对象为湖北省石首市原种场内栽植的13a生中天1号、中天4号、中潜1号、中监1号等13个无性系。调查项目为胸径及容积密度、纤维长、弹性模量等材性性状.参试株数为每个无性系16株(1个小区4株,重复4次)共208株。采用“日本林木育种中心”开发的方差分析软件Lsab02和Lsab21求出了最小二乘推定值,对无性系进行了评估,并利用胸径、容积密度、纤维长等性状求出了选择指数,初步选择出了生长和材质上均表现较佳的优良无性系。
