Table 2 Pearson’s correlation matrix for the values of uses based on secondary data on average values for wood from mangrove species [17] of A = ash content (%), L = lignin (%), H = holocellulose (%), TE = total extractives (%), ρ = basic density (g cm⁻³), contractions for R = radial, T = tangential (%), VV = volumetric variation (%), and AN = anisotropy (%), ρ_12% = apparent density at 12% (kg m⁻³), f_v0 = shear strength (MPa), f_c0 = compression strength (MPa), E_M0 = bending stiffness (GPa), and f_M = bending strength (MPa) of wood from the three dominant tree species in Amazonian mangroves
