Drying of eucalyptus logs from plantations with different spacing between trees

The adoption of dense plantations can reduce the drying time logs, by optimizing this step. This study evaluated eucalyptus wood from with different spacing (3 × 4; 3 3; 2 1 m). Five trees were selected per treatment. Logs removed base and at 50% 100% commercial height for evaluation 60 days. diameters wider bigger, productivity hectare was not affected between trees. planting did affect initial moisture, which higher those top logs denser showed a rate 2.5 times than same treatment greater spacing, reducing final moisture 37.2 to 18.8%. reached equilibrium after period. reduction in reduced difference parameter trunks.
