Through periodic collections of wood samples from 3 clones of E saligna between the ages of 9 and 42 months the interclonal and intraclonal variations at various ages as well as temporal behaviour were determined. The analysis of the results led to the following conclusions I the mean basic density of the wood of the 3 clones all together can be estimated in function of age by the cubic model BD - A2 A3 R2 and F ii at the level of the clone the basic density for each individual can be calculated by the following equations BDi A2 A3 BD2 -0 070743 A2 A3 and BD3 A A2 A3 and ill the intraclonal variation in relation to basic density is relatively low at the ages studied. wood density I clone I Eucalyptus saligna Resume Evolution de la densité du bois selon I age de 3 clones ứ Eucalyptus saligna Smith. Étant donné importance économique ỞEucalyptus spp dans la production ỉorestière brésilienne ce bois est de plus en plus étudié vis-à-vis de 1 amélioration de sa qualité. On connatt le role important joue par la densité sur la qualité du bois. C est pourquoi on a évalué 1 évolution de I infradensite DB du bois de 3 clones dE saligna entre 9 et 42 mois. Les evaluations ont porté sur les variations inter et intra-clonales pendant cede période. Les analyses effectuees conduisent aux résultats .
