This study was aimed to investigate and compare the cross-field pitting characteristics in compression (CW), lateral (LW), and opposite wood (OW). Pit type in the cross-field, pit number per cross-field, and cross-field pit diameter in the earlywood of both species were observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. CW from both species showed piceoid pit. LW and OW of Pinus merkusii showed pinoid and window-like pit, while LW and OW of Agathis loranthifolia showed taxodioid and cupressoid pit. In Pinus merkusii, pit number per cross-field of CW was the smallest among parts with a range of 1-2 pits, while LW and OW had similar values with a range of 1-3 pits. Pit number per cross-field in CW, LW, and OW of Pinus merkusii slightly increased from near the pith to near the bark. CW of Agathis loranthifolia showed the smallest pit number among parts with a range of 2-6 pits, while LW was the highest, including a range of 3-6 pits. Moreover, OW was the intermediate by a range of 2-7 pits. Pit numbers per cross-field of CW and LW decreased from near the pith to near the bark, while the pit number per cross-field of OW increased from near the pith to near the bark. In both species, CW had the smallest pit diameter. In Pinus merkusii, LW had similar cross-field pit diameter with OW, while LW of Agathis loranthifolia had larger cross-field pit diameter than OW. In conclusion CW had distinctive cross-field pitting characteristics than LW and OW, while LW and OW mostly showed a similar characteristics.

This study was aimed to investigate and to compare the variation of microfibril angle (MFA) from compression wood (CW), lateral wood (LW) and opposite wood (OW) in a stem wood of Pinus densiflora. Iodine method was used to reveal the microfibril angle (MFA) on the tangential section of CW, LW, and OW in each annual ring (5^th, 10^th, 15^th, 20^th, 25^th, 30^th, 35^th, and 40^th), and the MFA was analyzed by optical microscopy. The MFA from each part was decreased with increasing annual ring and became constant from 30^th to 40^th annual ring. The CW had the greatest MFA among CW, LW, and OW in every annual ring, while the OW had the smallest MFA from 20^th to 40^th annual ring. The LW had the smallest MFA in 10^th annual ring, while there were no significant different between LW and OW in 5^th and 15^th annual ring. In conclusion, this study was suggested that the MFA from CW, LW, and OW were distinctively different from each other.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the hardness and fracture morphology of compression wood (CW), lateral wood (LW), and opposite wood (OW) in Sumatran pine (Pinus merkusii ) and Agathis (Agathis loranthifolia). The hardness of the cross, radial, and tangential sections was examined by Brinell’s method according to the Korean standard, and the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy. In all sections, CW from both species showed the highest hardness, and there was no significant difference between LW and OW. On the cross-section, intercellular failure along rays occurred only in CW and LW. CW and LW showed shortening of the tracheid with a smooth cell wall surface, while OW showed a fractured cell wall with a brittle surface. On the radial and tangential sections, the tracheids from CW, LW, and OW buckled to the tangential direction. The fracture area of LW and OW was more severe and deeper than that of CW. CW showed buckling tracheids with helical cavities on the longitudinal wall, whereas the tracheids of LW and OW were buckled with horizontal stress lines. In conclusion, the CW from both species had the highest hardness value for all sample surfaces. Furthermore, CW showed distinct fracture morphology compared to LW and OW, whereas LW and OW showed mostly similar characteristics.
