Variation in fiber morhology of Meranti Kepong (shorea ovalis) from pith to bark / Nik Ahmad Farizan Nik Lah

Fiber morphology of Meranti Kepong (Shorea ovalis) was studied for the different segments of wood from the pith to the bark. The fiber is longer near the bark (1.94 mm) and becoming shorter towards the pith (1.40 mm). Similar trend of greater values near the bark was observed for fiber diameter, lum...
