Types of Poplar Poplar wood is considered ahardwoodby species, but this can be somewhat confusing, as it is typically softer than pine, a common softwood. In most instances, poplar (or at least the wood sold as poplar in home centers) is actually the wood from the tulip tree. It is a...
One gymnosperm and one angiosperm species were used in this study: European spruce (Picea abies, softwood, 450 kg/m3, cut from a 73-year-old tree grown in the forest in the Auvergne region, France) and poplar (Populus euroamericana‘Koster’, hardwood, 364 kg/m3, cut from a 25-year-...

collapse during wood thermal treatment in hardwood species, such as Birch, Poplar32. From the perspective of wood cell wall structure and composition, these fractures and damages can be explained as follows: (1) the H2SO4thermal treatment degraded not only the soluble carbohydrates in lamella, ...
Generally, the drying rate of fuelwood decreases as log diameter or length increase [18,22]. Covering the top of firewood piles during outdoor seasoning has also been recommended to lower the moisture content of hardwood and softwood species [18,23]. Energy content (i.e., heating value) ...
