Abstract

The objective of this study was to qualify the wood of the species Astronium fraxinifolium, Enterolobium gummiferum, Eriotheca pentaphylla, and Plathymenia reticulata of the Brazilian Cerrado for forestry productive purposes based on the classification of their wood basic density and fiber quality indices. Discs were removed at a height of 1.3 m from the ground, and opposing wedges were obtained. The analyzed parameters were: wood basic density, fiber dimension, and fiber quality indices. The wood basic density was negatively correlated with fiber length and thickness. E. pentaphylla presented low basic density, long fiber length, and greater fiber wall thickness. On the other hand, A. fraxinifolium, E. gummiferum, and P. reticulata woods presented medium/high basic density, short fiber length, and quality indices that foster them for energy purposes, paper production, and use in floors and civil construction.
