Stiffness estimated with V2, representing the wave equation under the assumption of constant wood density, was only weakly correlated to mean tree stiffness.
The weak correlation between mean tree stiffness and acoustic velocity found here for Douglas-fir is the same as that found by Blakemore et al. (2010) in their study of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) (R2 = 0.21) in which mean tree stiffness was based on average board stiffness.
Mean tree stiffness is denoted by '*'.
The veneer stiffness data was then collated at the tree level to calculate mean tree stiffness.

On the other hand, if observations were missing from near the bark, mean tree veneer stiffness would be under-estimated.
Estimation, rather than omission, of unobserved stiffness values was used to reduce bias, caused by the spatial nature of the data, in the calculation of mean-tree veneer stiffness.
