Since specific gravity directly reflects the density, or weight per unit volume of wood, the implications of changes in this value in terms of total yield of fiber per acre are not lost on the forest manager. What may be less evident is the fact that relatively small changes in specific gravity may indicate changes of substantial magnitude in physical and mechanical properties of wood.
