Abstract Air-dry density, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), compressive strength parallel to grain,
and hardness of Catalpa bungei clones were investigated in this study with feasibility of predicting these properties
by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The best candidate ‘Luoqiu 3’ has been selected from three clones based on
wood physical and mechanical property indices. Lower values of wood physical and mechanical properties have
been found in the corewood compared to the outerwood. There were significant positive correlations between the
air-dry density and mechanical properties. Information from cross section for air-dry density, compressive
strength parallel to More >
