Where can I find properties like conductivity, heat capacity, and density of leaves, grass, tree bark, and wet or green wood?
Thanks,
Scott

The closest thing I can think of is in ASHRAE’s Refrigeration Handbook. The information is given for commercial cooling and freezing of foods.
 
Depending on what you are trying to do, ASAE (American Society of Agircultural Engineers) may have something. They deal a lot with crop drying and composting. ASHRAE Refrigeration is probably your best bet though.

Without looking myself before I answer, I would look for much of what you are seeking in the B&W publication "Steam-its generation and uses" mentioned in other threads in this forum. Do a search on this site to see where to obtain it.
