ABSTRACT
Currently, there is a little and sparse information about how the growing conditions influence
the spatial variation of wood along the stem. Thus, the aim of this study was to compile the
knowledge from literature in a manuscript for better understanding to what extent the growing
conditions influence the spatial variation of wood properties in Eucalyptus plantations. The wood
characteristics may present variations in their properties and can be caused by both genetic and
environmental factors. However, how genetic and environmental factor acts on wood variation
along the trunk is still unclear. Another point is that even with new genetic breeding programs, the
mechanical properties of wood have not been considered in these programs, since the selection of
new material is always based on the growing rate, cellulose and lignin content and wood density.
Keywords: wood quality, spatial variation, NIR, resonance.
