Wood Density Profiles and Their Corresponding Tissue Fractions in Tropical Angiosperm Trees

Wood Density Profiles and Their Corresponding Tissue Fractions in Tropical Angiosperm Trees

Wood density profiles reveal a tree’s life strategy and growth. Density profiles are, however, rarely defined in terms of tissue fractions for wood of tropical angiosperm trees. Here, we aim at linking these fractions to corresponding density profiles of tropical trees from the Congo Basin...
