Chemical composition of normal wood and compression wood formed by different outdoor effects, in Pinus
sylvetris L, Pinus nigra Arnold and Pinus brutia Ten was comparatively studied.
In general, the amount of α-cellulose was found to be decrease in the compression wood. In European black pine
and Turkish pine, α-cellulose decrease 4%; however, in Scots pine this ratio was 5%. To the contrary lignin
content was increased approximately 5% in all species. Statistically, the amount of holocellulose in the
compression wood of Scots pine and European black pine did not show any changes while, it was observed to
decrease in Turkish pine. Hot water solubility values were found to be increased 1% in Scots pine and Turkish
pine. This ratio was only 0.3% in European black pine. However cold water and alcohol solubility were found to
be increased statistically only in European black pine and Scots pine. Compared to normal wood ash content was
found to be more in compression wood.
