data with such information for Chilean species.
Perez-G., V.A. 1989. Effect of tree age on the physical
and mechanical properties of radiata pine (Incidencia de la
edad del arbol sobre las propiedades fisicas y mecanicas del
pino radiata). Ciencia e Investigacion Forestal. 6:85-99.
This work establishes the influence of age on mechanical
properties of radiata pine wood by testing small clear spec-
imens obtained from 25 and 35 year old trees. Comparing
the results of the two populations using normalized meth-
ods, strength of older trees is shown to be higher than of
young trees, obtaining, on average, a 20 percent increase
on the different mechanical properties determined in green
condition and 11 percent for those determined in air dry
conditions (H=12 percent).
