A common model suitable for predicting bark volume was proposed for all species. A small but significant altitude effect on bark thickness at breast height was detected for three species. Context : The growing demand for wood energy and bio-molecules requires a thorough evaluation of forest biomass, particularly bark. Aims : The objective of this study is to have statistical models of bark volumes for the six main forest species present in North-Eastern France and to be able to estimate regional bark biomasses and quantities of chemical extractives at regional scale. Methods : A large databank gathering bark thickness measured at different heights in France was used for selecting literature or new alternative models of tree bark volume. These models were applied to the available forest inventory data from North-Eastern France to estimate the regional bark volume. Secondly, by multiplying these volumes by basic density data and extractive content recently obtained, bark biomasses and extractives quantities were deduced. Results : The first results consist in a set of species-specific models of bark thickness at breast height with R2 around 0.70 and a relative RMSE around 30% which is an improvement of 0.1 for R2 and of 1–2% for relative RMSE depending on the species compared to the best models from the literature. The second results consist in a set of species-specific models of tree bark volumes with R2 of 0.90 and a relative RMSE which varies between 22% when bark thickness at breast height is included and 40% when it is predicted. A significant relationship between bark thickness at breast height and altitude was also observed. The bark resources of Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions were estimated at 558 000 m3/year and 611 000 m3/year respectively representing between 5.5% and 15% of the stem volume depending on the species. The propagation of the measurement error of bark gauge was estimated at 5% for model of bark thickness at breast height and 24% for bark volume model. Conclusion : These results constitute an important contribution for a better knowledge of the bark resource at a regional scale and may help to optimise bark valuation by the forest-wood sector.

Improving aboveground biomass estimates by taking into account density variations between tree components / Antoine Billard in Annals of Forest Science, vol 77 n° 4 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > vol 77 n° 4 (December 2020) . - n° 103 Titre : Improving aboveground biomass estimates by taking into account density variations between tree components Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Antoine Billard, Auteur ; Rodolphe Bauer, Auteur ; Frédéric Mothe, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 103 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] allométrie [Termes IGN] base de données forestières [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] bois de chauffage [Termes IGN] branche (arbre) [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] écorce [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] résineux [Termes IGN] tomographie radar [Termes IGN] volume en bois [Vedettes matières IGN] Inventaire forestier Résumé : (auteur) Key message: Strong density differences were observed between stem wood at 1.30 m and other tree components (stem wood, stem bark, knots, branch stumps and branches). The difference, up to 40% depending on the component, should be taken into account when estimating the biomass available for industrial uses, mainly fuelwood and wood for chemistry. Context: Basic density is a major variable in the calculation of tree biomass. However, it is usually measured on stem wood only and at breast height. Aims: The objectives of this study were to compare basic density of stem wood at 1.30 m with other tree components and assess the impact of differences on biomass. Methods: Three softwood species were studied: Abies alba Mill., Picea abies (L.) H. Karst., Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco. X-Ray computed tomography was used to measure density. Results: Large differences were observed between components. Basic density of components was little influenced by tree size and stand density. Overall, bark, knot and branch biomasses were highly underestimated by using basic density measured at 1.30 m. Conclusion: Using available wood density databases mainly based on breast height measurements would lead to important biases (up to more than 40%) on biomass estimates for some tree components. Further work is necessary to complete available databases.

CarDen: A software for fast measurement of wood density on increment cores by CT scanning / Philippe Jacquin in Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, vol 156 (January 2019)  

Public [article]  inComputers and Electronics in Agriculture > vol 156 (January 2019) . - pp 606 - 617 Titre : CarDen: A software for fast measurement of wood density on increment cores by CT scanning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Philippe Jacquin, Auteur ; Frédéric Mothe, Auteur ; Fleur Longuetaud, Auteur ; Antoine Billard, Auteur ; Baptiste Kerfriden , Auteur ; Jean-Michel Leban , Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 606 - 617 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] anatomie du bois [Termes IGN] arbre (flore) [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] densité du bois [Termes IGN] forêt tempérée [Termes IGN] tomographie [Vedettes matières IGN] Ecologie forestière Résumé : (auteur) Increment cores are often used in wood science for measuring wood density of trees non destructively and at large scale, for instance with the objective to assess the available biomass in a forest resource. This paper presents a software allowing to measure by X-ray computed tomography (CT) the wood density of thousands increment cores. The software is able to process 3000 cores per hour semi-automatically. Manual intervention may be required to control and eventually adjust the positioning of the cores. The software was tested on 30 trees from 13 temperate species. Two increment cores were taken from each tree: one 5 mm diameter core and one 4 mm diameter core. The obtained CT density of the cores was compared to reference data obtained by volume and mass measurement on the 5 mm cores. The reference data were used for tuning the software settings by leave-one-out cross validation method. The obtained root mean square error was below 10 kg/m3 (1.7%) for the 5 mm cores. For the 4 mm cores, the root mean square difference with the reference density of the 5 mm cores was 25 kg/m3 (4.2%).

Density is related to wood quality, biomass, carbon content, tree growth and climate. Wood microdensitometry is particularly used in dendrochronology and climatology studies. The present study focuses on X-ray based methods used in wood microdensitometry analyses and provides a review of the main available devices. An exhaustive review of 75 works published on this topic in 2014 and 2015 showed that film-based equipment is still commonly used. The three other most popular devices, SilviScan, Itrax and QTRS, are also based on X-ray radiography and deliver results with comparable accuracy, below 50 μm per pixel. X-ray tomography (CT) is still rarely used in wood densitometry. Medical CT scanners currently offer a lower accuracy (above 100 μm per pixel) that is insufficient in most cases for ring or intra-ring scales. Micro-CT scanners offer good performance at the cost of much longer acquisition and reconstruction times.

Relative water content of lumens is proposed as the best complement to basic specific gravity for discrimination of species with respect to their functioning. Context : X-ray computed tomography (CT) is an efficient tool for analysis of wood properties related to density and water content all along a tree stem. Basic specific gravity, an inherent property of the wood material, is well known and widely used in wood sciences. Aims : The first aim of this study was to describe a method for mapping a set of wood properties within a tree stem. The second objective was to analyze the relations among these properties and to identify the one that offers the best information in addition to basic specific gravity for discrimination of species. Methods : Wood discs were collected at various heights along a tree stem. We used a method consisting of comparing the CT images of the discs in the green state and after oven drying. Finally, 10 variables were computed for 115 trees of five temperate species: green, oven-dry, and basic specific gravities; moisture content; relative water content; relative water content of lumens; and fractions of air, water, free water, and cell walls. Results : Maps of wood properties summarizing the radial and vertical variations were obtained, allowing us to highlight species-specific patterns. The five species were discriminated best when plotted in the plane defined by basic specific gravity and relative water content of lumens. Conclusion : The proposed method is original and simple enough to process large samples. Because it correlated less with basic specific gravity than with moisture content, relative water content of lumens was selected for species characterization. This is the first study of such wood properties at this fine scale within a tree stem, simultaneously and for a substantial number of trees of five species including both hardwoods and softwoods.
