[IUFRO Div 5] Wood Quality in South America

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.
