Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure (2004)
Journal Article
Moore, J. R., & Maguire, D. A. (2005). Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure. Trees - Structure and Function, 19(4), 363-373. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00468-004-0387-y

Natural frequency and damping ratio were measured for nine plantation-grown Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. Franco) trees from the Oregon Coast Range under different levels of crown removal. Natural frequency of trees, in both their unpruned... Read More about Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: influence of crown structure.

Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: concepts, review and synthesis of previous studies (2004)

Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P. (2001, September). Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources

The paper outlines options for managing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. It begins with the hypothesis that variation is the largest single issue with regard to wood quality and that the extent of variation creates both the big...

There are at present strong market pressures to increase the price of pruned softwood logs in South Africa. However, there is currently no equitable basis on which to price pruned logs, as their value can vary enormously, depending upon a number of i...
