The aim of the research was to determine the impact of selected habitat and age features on the qualitative properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The research was carried out on forest stands from the Olesno, Wymiarki and Kalisz Pomorski forest districts (western Poland). The collected data provided information on technical and dimensional properties as well as quality classes for logs from...
The State Forests, National Forest Holding operates on the principle of financial independence, and the sale of wood is the primary source of income of the institution. Raw wood is sold with the bark, although the registry applies to the wood without bark. It was hypothesized that the method of bark volume reduction may have a significant impact on the registered volume. The material collected in...
Scots pine wood is widely used in many branches of the wood industry. The possibility to select the raw material quality according to the specific processing needs corresponding to different uses is related with the issues of the standardisation, which comprises classification based both on the dimensions of processed assortments as well as their defects and traits of anatomical construction. In the...
The study objectives included: i) determination of the mass and green density of pulpwood (wood+bark) and ii) comparison of the changes in these parameters during 14−day−long storage period. The experiment was conducted between 15 and 28 July 2014 and the material was taken from the 67 year−old Scots pine stand (Tuchola Forest District, northern Poland). Using the Urich method, 30 model trees were...
The research was conducted on the external spoil heap of the 'Piaseczno' Sulphur Mine (southern Poland). This paper aimed to determine the quality of wood in 40−year−old Scots pine trees planted onto the external spoil heap of the mine, in the scope of forest reclamation, depending on the soil substrate and employed reclamation treatments. The investigations were carried out at one−are circular trial...
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the quality of habitat and the quality of Scots pine wood. We focused on the wood from mature stands growing on poor habitats on inland dunes in the Notecka Forest and on former farmlands (central and western Poland). We selected 12 trees, from which we took wood samples for tree ring investigation. We determined the age of trees, width...
Research was carried out in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands damaged by strong wind in six locations in Poland. The aim of this study was to analyse the radial variation of compressive strength parallel to grain in the wind−broken trees and neighbouring survivors. Strength tests were conducted in moisture above saturation fibre point. There were no significant differences in the radial distribution...
Paper presents analysis of differences in conventional wood density of Scots pine measured at breast height regarding the geographical location of stands, forest habitat type, stand age and associated parameters such as density in the mid−length of the stem, density in the upper end of the stem and diameter at breast height. To investigate the impact of these factors, an analysis of covariance was...
