RESUMO

The objective of this research has been to determine qualitative parameters of Pinus caribaea var. bahamensis wood in three diameter classes with a common base in 1969 and 1992 plantations from Floresta Estadual from the Manduri Instituto Florestal SP. three trees per class were collected and 3-m high logs were removed. From each log the main plank was removed and from this samples were taken from the base and top regions. Measurements of the early and late wood from each growth ring were made so that the distribution graph of the growth rings from each tree could be made. In order for the physical and mechanical tests to be made samplings were taken parallel to the pith, following the growth ring, and, in the first log, a sampling following the ring at the top of the log. The isoproperty curves could then be established. In the trees of same age and different diameters the variations in tracheid dimensions were examined at the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th growth ring, and between early and late wood. Among different ages it was determined whether the variations at the 16th (last growth ring) of the young trees were equivalent to the 16th (growth ring) in adult trees. It was also determined whether there was any variation in tracheid dimensions in the last growth ring of the two ages. The results showed that: a) the anatomical characteristics were compatible for the species; b) the tracheid dimensions varied in the radial direction among different ages and same class, and showed in the young trees the lowest value for length and wall width, and the largest value for tangential diameter and tracheid lumen; the growth varied between the 9th and the 12th growth ring; c) the variation between early and late wood in the 16th growth rings of the youngest trees, as compared to adult trees did not show a definite pattern; d) in the comparison among the last growth ring of trees of different ages the early and late wood showed a nore homogeneous pattern. The isoproperty curves showed the same distribution pattern, both of the physical and mechanical isoproperties. The kinds of samples used did not show variations from each other. The average values for each isoproperty in the axial direction showed the greatest values of apparent isodensity in adult trees; concerning the isoproportion of early wood, the greatest values were found in the youngest trees and decreased in the radial direction; concerning the isoproportion of late wood, and elasticity and rupture isomodule the greatest values were found in adult trees and decreased from pith to bark. Among the ages studied differences in the distribution of isoproperties can be found. The knowledge of the distribution of the isoproperty curves permits an improved use of the wood.
