Abstract:
Wood density is expressed by the ratio between dry weight and fresh volume of a sample piece. The value of this measure is an important variable for assessing wood functional properties, successional stages and biomass/carbon stock estimates in different terrestrial ecosystems. Wood density data were collected for tree species from ecotone forests of the northern Brazilian Amazonia. We sampled 680 individuals with stem diameter ≥10 cm. For each sampled individual measurements were taken for three stem variables: bark thickness (mm), bark density (g cm-3) and wood density (g cm-3). This dataset is intended to improve biomass and carbon estimates of forests in the northern ecotone region of Brazilian Amazonia, an area poorly known in terms of ecosystem dynamics.

Glue-laminated wood, often referred to as glulam, combines multiple smaller pieces of dimensional lumber using adhesives to form a single, larger piece. Cross-laminated timber consists...
Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
