Value inside the bracket is SD.
Different Alphabet after the values showed significant differences between families.
n: number of sampled trees, MCg: moisture content at green condition, BD: basic density, RS: radial shrinkage, TS: tangential shrinkage, LS: longitudinal shrinkage, T/R Ratio: ratio of RS and TS, MOE: modulus of elasticity, MOR: modulus of rupture, CSpr: compressive strength at parallel to grain, CSper: compressive strength at perpendicular to grain.
