I'm hoping some members of this forum can help this person's rather 
intriguing question concerning fibre length differences between northern 
and southern tree species. Responses can be directed to 
dshugar1@hotmail.com and/or this forum.

Hello - my name is Dan Shugar and I am a student of Dr Burn at Carleton. 
I'm looking for some help with a tree question. I'm currently writing my 
thesis about ground ice in peat (the question is actually about trees, not 
peat). There's very little data about the fibre density of peat and the 
data that does exist concerns southern peat. Anyhow, I'm thinking that 
northern peat may have a different fibre density than southern peat. CR 
Burn gave as an example trees in northern Canada since the wood is denser 
than in southern Canada. I've searched and searched but can't seem to find 
anything about this phenomenon. Do you know of any papers which discuss 
this or even mention it?Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Dan
