• Label: Bark modulus of elasticity
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0014017
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A bark [PO:0004518] physical quality [PATO:0002079] trait which is the bark's modulus of elasticity [SWEET:propPressure/ModulusOfElasticity], its resistance to being deformed [SWEET:phenSolid/Deform] elastically [PATO:0001031] (non-permanently) when a force [PATO:0001035] is applied. It is calculated as the ratio of the force applied to bark per unit area (stress) to the bark's deformation (bending).;A measure of stem stiffness and elasticity, which is how much the bark is deformed elastically (bends) under stress. It is calculated as the ratio of the force applied to bark per unit area (stress) to the bark's deformation (bending). The trait is also called Young's modulus for bark.
