Comparison of anatomical, physical and mechanical properties of Abies pindow, Cedrus deodara and wallichiana from dry and wet temperate forests

In this study, anatomical, physical and mechanical properties of three softwood species growing in dry and wet temperature forests exhibit slow growth rate and high density and strength samples from dry temperate forests exhibit slow growth rate and high density and strength properties than those from wet temperate forest. The results of this study would enable efficient and economical utilization of scarce coniferous timber resources in the country.
