The observations were made in young never debarked cork oaks 30-40 years of age and in mature trees under cork production 37-60 years of age . The cork oak wood is very dense mean ring density between and with a small intra-ring variability mean earlywood density and latewood density . The density components decreased from pith to bark more rapidly until the 15th ring and then only slightly. There were no significant differences in the mean density components between never debarked trees and trees under cork production but their outwards decrease was accentuated in the never debarked trees. The annual growth was high with a ring width mean of mm mm in the first 30 years and the latewood represented 57 of the annual growth.

La variation radiale de la largeur des cernes et de la densité du bois a été étudiée dans le chêne-liège Quercus suber par microdensitométrie. Les observations ont été réalisées dans des arbres jeunes jamais écorcés âge 30-40 ans et des arbres en phase de production de liège 37-60 ans . Le bois de chêne-liège est très dense densité moyenne 0 86 variant entre 0 79 et 0 97 avec .
