Predetermination stem wood quality with the branch wood index of Korean pine

Abstract

Predetermination of growth ring wood quality was a frontier. By the method of growth ring wood quality analysis, correlation ship of variation between the wood quality and ecological condition of forest growth is explained with the theory of quantification. According to index of quantification model, the variation of forests growth and wood quality is forecasted.This paper discribed the correlationship between branch wood and stem wood of growth ring wood quality, according to quantification index to infer the stemwood quality by the branchwood quality predeterminning stemwood quality, this lead to a new way for wood quality predetermination.
