Wood Science and Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In both Douglas-fir and aspen wood, the fiber saturation point of early wood is greater than that of late wood, solvent extraction lowers the fiber saturation point, and the fiber saturation point for reaction wood is less than that for whole wood.
