桉树无节材修枝技术研究进展与展望

本文综述了国内外桉树人工林无节材培育修枝技术的理论和研究。为了满足当今社会对高品质木材的大量需求,人们开始将桉树纸浆材人工林栽培向更高价值含量的锯材转化。众多研究表明,影响桉树木材外观等级的主要因素是节子。要从根本上解决木材质量的问题,合理而科学的修枝理论和实践显得尤为重要。修枝直接影响树冠动态发展,而树冠动态与树木的生长直接相关。尽管桉树自然整枝能力较强,但不能靠它获得大量无节材,修枝措施必不可少。修枝对树木生长和木材材质都会产生影响。合理的修枝强度会促进树木生长,而科学的修枝技术对高品质无节材的形成相当关键。为了使修枝达到最大效益,在非生长季节以及树冠郁闭前修去小枝活枝,并且保证修枝伤口平滑和注意伤口保护是最合适的修枝处理。伤口的愈合与诸多因素有关。

A Review on Pruning in Eucalypt Plantations for Production of Clear Wood

This study reviewed the theory and research on pruning technology in eucalypt plantations for clear wood production all around the world.To meet the rapidly growing demands for high quality sawn timber in China,growers are beginning to convert plantations initially managed in pulpwood regimes to higher value sawlog regimes.Numerous previous studies have shown knots to be the major factor limiting the grade of sawn timber.Despite the"self-pruning"nature of many eucalyptus species,the amount of clear wood abl...
