Journal: Maderas Ciencia y tecnología
Year: 2025

In recent years, the use of drilling resistance method and devices which operate based on the method for non-destructive evaluation of wood has expanded, but research for density evaluation on standing trees remains limited. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the method through a device (IML RESI F500-S) in estimating wood density for standing Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia) trees. Increment core samples and measurement data were collected from stands of various ages and types in the
