We carry out a comparative study of properties of MSDs versus (undirected) trees. For some of these properties, we give the matrix version, regardingnearly reducible matrices. We give bounds for the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial corresponding to the adjacency matrix of trees, and we conjecturebounds for MSDs. We also propose two different representations of an MSD interms of trees (the union of a spanning tree and a directed forest; and a doubledirected tree whose vertices are given by the contraction of connected Hassediagrams).
