摘要

Within the vast biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest, Dinizia excelsa Ducke is recognized as a species of significant economic importance, widely utilized in the woodworking industry. This study aims to analyze the morphology and chemical composition of D. excelsa Ducke across three distinct cut surfaces. Our findings reveal notable disparities in surface morphology, particularly in the roughness profile between Radial (R), Longitudinal (L), and Tangential (T) cuts. However, microscopic analysis indicates no discernible differences in microtexture across these cuts. Notably, the fractal dimensions, ranging 1.75‒1.80 exhibit remarkable consistency, suggesting a uniformity in texture complexity across the surfaces. Additionally, lacunarity analysis was employed to assess surface complexity. The R surface demonstrated the highest lacunarity (Λ ~ 0.0584), indicating greater heterogeneity, whereas the L surface exhibited a more homogeneous texture (Λ ~ 0.0440). These findings provide valuable insights into the intricate surface characteristics of Dinizia excelsa Ducke, which can be leveraged for modeling ecological interactions involving wood as a substrate. A deeper understanding of surface morphology enhances simulations of nutrient uptake, microbial colonization, and species diversity in forest ecosystems, ultimately improving the accuracy of mathematical models.
