Studies on effect of topology on pulp and paper characteristics of Eucalyptus camaldulenosis
The seedlings of Eucalyptus camaldulenosis of same genotype were grown at different geographical locations having distinct pre- and post-monsoon ground water levels. It is observed that as the ground water level recedes. balloon like structures known as tyloses develop, which affect the plant anatomy, physico-chemical and pulp and paper making characteristics of E. camaldulenosis. The aging of E. camaldulenosis has marked adverse impact on morphological, physicochemical composition, pulping and black liquor characteristics along with mechanical strength properties of paper.
