Additionally, our results suggest that in similar density woods maintenance costs per sapwood cross-sectional area could vary depending on wood anatomical structure.

With low conduit density, wood density might also increase.
In fact, the negative relationship between ring width and wood density would suggest that lower density wood would be found on those sites where radial growth rate (all other factors being equal) is higher.
The microstructure of fibrous networks in low density wood-based fibreboards elaborated with various processes is observed by X-ray tomography.
Finally, higher density wood is also more resistant to pathogens (Augspurger, 1984), thus increasing wood density with tree age may function as a defence mechanism against increasing pathogen loads over time.
The lower density wood is produced due to stressful environmental conditions or is a result of very early wood decay in the E. saligna; there are no genetic differences or predispositions at play.
Denser woods tend to operate at more negative water potentials (Ackerly 2004; Bucci et al. 2004; Santiago et al. 2004; Jacobsen et al. 2007 b, 2008; Gotsch et al. 2010) and to have greater cavitation resistance than low-density woods (Hacke et al. 2001; Jacobsen et al. 2005; Pratt et al. 2007; Lens et al. 2011).
Hence there is clearly a strong relationship between measured wood density and wood decay, even in assumed sound or intact wood.
There was a strong positive relationship between GF Plus rating for wood density and Wood Density Index (R 2 = 0.73), with a one-unit increase in GF Plus corresponding to a 2.16 kg m−3 increase in wood density.
Our analysis showed that there is a strong positive relationship between GF Plus rating for wood density and Wood Density Index (defined as the breast height outerwood density at age 20 years for a stand planted between 1990 and 2000).
On the site with a higher wood density potential (Wood Density Index = 440 kg m−3), the proportion exceeding the 400 kg m−3 threshold increases from 23.4 to 40.3 % as GF Plus rating increased from 18 up to 27.
