e0“This study ascertained the physico-mechanical and anatomical properties of Terminalia superba tension wood, in comparison with its normal counterpart”
e2“The modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and compression parallel to grain (11293 ± 227.5, 106 ± 4.5 and 65 ± 1.8 MPa, respectively) for normal wood were greater than tension wood (7276 ± 443.7, 50 ± 0.4 and 50 ± 3.5 MPa, respectively)”
