Effects of Age and Height on Selected Properties of Three Malaysian Bamboo Species

Although bamboo is widely found in Peninsular Malaysia , little research has been conducted on its importance for industrial use. A study was initiated to evaluate the effect of age and height of three common bamboo species namely Bambusa blumeana Schult. 'Buluh duri', Bambusa vulgaris S...
