Some Chemical and Morphological Properties of Juvenile Woods from Beech (Fagus orientalis L.) and Pine (Pinus nigra A.) Plantations

M. Akgul and A. Tozluoglu

Abstract: In this study, carefully selected test materials were taken from juvenile wood Pinus nigra and Fagus orientalis growing naturally in Turkey. The aim of this research is to determine the chemical and morphological properties of the wood fiber of the Pinus nigra and Fagus orientalis and the suitability of these properties for pulping. Eight sample trees were taken as four pieces for each species which were collected from Duzce-Dariyeri-Yaylagol region. The test samples were taken from certain parts of tree stems. In these tests, fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen dia cell wall thickness were measured. The felting power, elasticity coefficient, rigidity coefficient, Runkel’s proportion, Muhlsteph’s proportion and F-ratio were calculated from the wood fiber morphological properties and the effects of these properties on pulp strength properties were investigated. According to the results of this study, it was found that the pine and beech are/aren’t suitable for pulping.
