Correlation coefficients among compressive strength, weight loss, and chemical components of decayed wood in Magnolia obovata.

Factor 1	Factor 2	Brown-rot (n = 5)	White-rot (n = 5)	Soft-rot (n = 5)
CS	Weight loss	−0.909^{^z}	−0.918^{^y}	−0.562ns
	Klason lignin	0.696ns	0.768ns	0.488ns
	Holocellulose	0.903^{^z}	0.916^{^z}	0.508ns
	α-cellulose	0.864ns	0.890^{^z}	0.672ns

↵^zSignificance at 5% level.
↵^ySignificance at 1% level.
CS = Compressive strength measured by Fractometer; brown-rot decay by F. palustris; white-rot decay by T. versicolor; soft-rot decay by C. globosum; ns = no significance; n = number of samples.
