Abstract

The importance of forests in the life of living beings (humans) has convinced the researchers to take steps towards environmental sustainability as one of the main parameters. Forest has such an impact on the environment and life of people that makes the living conditions in that area easier. The wood obtained from trees is one of the most important forest products and due to the economic importance has led to indiscriminate felling of trees. This is resulted in reduced area of forests in the north of the country. In recent years, several floods in northern parts of the country are examples of a natural phenomenon caused by the destruction of forests. Considering the increasing use of wood and the fact that researchers offer new wooden products every day, the solutions are suggested in this research. These suggestions include the production of wood products with proper mechanical strength following the principles of wood industry engineering, so that the durability of the resulting products will be improved dramatically. The achievement of this research is the optimal use of forests and will help to preserve the nature of the country. In this regard, adding people's information about wood and its various physical and mechanical properties will enable people to buy consciously and get the right product at the right price. Finally, in current study, some physical and mechanical properties of wood as well as their application in industry were investigated.
