The Effect of Altitude Difference on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Scots Pine Wood Grown in Turkey - Sinop Province

In this study, the effect of altitude difference on the physical and mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood was investigated. For this purpose, nine Scots pine trees were selected from three altitudes: 250 m (low altitude), 700 m (intermediate altitude), and 1200 m (high alti...
