Abstract
This chapter describes the data related to micro- and macro-structure of deciduous and coniferous species, dry and wet density, and basic relationship between thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, thermal inertia and humidity, and density and anisotropy of various types of timber, and some genetic aspects of timber diversity are considered. The basic relationship between mechanical properties and ambient temperature is presented.
