Species grouping, stereology, quantitative anatomy, physical and mechanical, properties of woodsAbstract
Fourty four tropical species with known physical, mechanical and stereological properties were used. A principal components analysis was done on each group of variables, to discard outliers, before clustering the species. Four c1uster methods were used: single and complete Iinkage, weighted and unweighted average, with Euclidean distance. Four groups were formed using physical and mechanical properties and two groups using stereological properties. It was concluded that physical and mechanical properties are betterfor grouping species than stereological properties since the formers are directly related to the use of the species.
