| Abstract | Wood use for structural use has increased in the last decade. Knowledge about the influence of wood quality by silviculture treatments on Mediterranean forests it’s important to forest managers. In Spain, two of the main wood species used in construction, Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris, have been studied in order to determine the juvenile-mature wood boundary (transition year) along the bole. Also, the effect of several silvicultural treatments on the transition year as well as on latewood density has been analyzed. The transition year was calculated using segmented linear mixed models annual on latewood density, obtained through micro X-ray densitometry, and as covariates silvicultural practices, distance to the crown and a drought index. The results show how the transition year is distributed along the bole, how it is influenced by the crown as well as how the different silvicultural treatments affect the LW density. |
