Variation in wood physical properties and effects of climate for different geographic sources of Chinese fir in subtropical area of China

Abstract Chinese fir is one of the most important commercial timber species in China, with many geographic sources. However, little is known of the variation in wood physical properties among them. To explore the differences in wood physical properties and their influencing factors, five geographic...
