Anatomical characterization and physical properties of coppiced wood of two Quercus species from the Popocatepetl volcano

Mexico has at least 179 species of the genus Quercus, which include some of the most important species for coppice forestry. Coppice forestry, the differentiated treatments and the use of wood based on its technological characteristics, could contribute to optimize the use of the goods and services...

description Mexico has at least 179 species of the genus Quercus, which include some of the most important species for coppice forestry. Coppice forestry, the differentiated treatments and the use of wood based on its technological characteristics, could contribute to optimize the use of the goods and services provided by Quercus species. In this work we evaluated the anatomical characteristics and some physical properties of coppiced wood from Quercus laurina and Quercus obtusata, species used to obtain charcoal and firewood in the communities surrounding the Popocatepetl volcano in Puebla, Mexico. The anatomical characteristics reported in this study coincide with previous descriptions of the wood from monostem trees, except for the presence of helical thickenings in fibers and annular porosity observed in Quercus obtusata. Regarding physical properties, values lower than those previously reported by other authors were recorded. It is suggested to carry out silvicultural trials of coppicing method on Quercus species and to evaluate the technological characteristics of the resulting wood.

México cuenta con al menos 179 especies del género Quercus, algunas de las cuales son importantes para la silvicultura de monte bajo. La silvicultura de monte bajo, los tratamientos diferenciados y el uso de la madera basado en sus características tecnológicas pueden contribuir a optimizar el aprovechamiento de los bienes y servicios proporcionados por las especies del género Quercus. En este trabajo se evaluaron las características anatómicas y algunas propiedades físicas de la madera de brotes de Quercus laurina y Quercus obtusata, usualmente utilizadas para la obtención de carbón vegetal y leña en las comunidades aledañas al volcán Popocatépetl, en Puebla, México. Las características anatómicas observadas coinciden con descripciones precedentes de la madera de árboles monofustales, salvo por la presencia de engrosamientos helicoidales en fibras y porosidad anular observadas en Quercus obtusata. Respecto a las propiedades físicas, se registraron valores inferiores a los obtenidos por otros autores. Es conveniente evaluar a profundidad las características tecnológicas de la madera resultante de otras especies del género Quercus que provengan de tratamientos silvícolas con el método de monte bajo.
