Træstruktur
Træstruktur refers to the internal arrangement and organization of wood tissue. This structure is fundamental to understanding wood's physical and mechanical properties, as well as its behavior during processing and use. At a macroscopic level, visible characteristics like grain pattern, growth rings, and the presence of knots are all part of the wood's structure. Growth rings, also known as annual rings, represent the layers of wood produced during a single growing season. Earlywood, formed in the spring, is typically less dense and has larger cells, while latewood, formed in the summer, is denser with smaller cells.
Microscopically, wood is composed primarily of cells. The two main types of cells in wood are tracheids
The structure of wood is also affected by factors such as species, growing conditions, and how the
