Influence of forest stand characteristics on physical, mechanical properties and chemistry of chestnut wood

Abstract Site conditions and forest management affect dendrometric parameters of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) coppices, but there is modest knowledge on the effect of stand dendrometric characters on physical and mechanical wood characteristics. The aim of this study was to verify these relation...
