Abstract

Direct current electrical resistance and radio frequency power absorption indexes were obtained at a temperature of 80°F, and at moisture content values from about 6 percent to bear the fiber saturation point for seven native American species: jack pine (Pinus banksiana), black spruce (Picea mariana), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), black ash (Fraxinus nigra), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata), and red pine (Pinus resinosa).
