Dear D5
I have been given a small task here to compare the wood properties of radiata pine in New Zealand with those in South America - Chile, Argentina. I have found it very hard to obtain good factual information on wood properties and lumber quality (stiffness, degrading features) in relation to site, silviculture and genetics.
I would be most grateful for any sources of information.

The University of Göttingen invites applications for the position of a
Professorship (W2) in Wood Technology and Wood Composites (salary level
W2)
at the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology.
The position will strengthen the research area of forest products.
Applicants should have a research record in the interface between
sustainable forestry concepts and the wood industry. The research focus
should be on wood technology and wood composites. In particular, the
research should cover one or several of the following areas:
- Innovative wood composites
- Wood chemistry
- Wood adhesives/adhesive technology
- Biopolymeres
- Biorefinery
The teaching of the position will be mainly within the Bachelor and Master
programmes of the faculty (as the master in Wood Biology and Wood
Technology). Because of the international orientation of the study program
