THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL POSITION OF A TREE IN THE STAND AND SITE ON WOOD QUALITY OF SCOTS PINE ([i]Pinus sylvestris [/i]L.)
Journal Title: ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF POLISH AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES - Year 2008, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was an attempt to determine technical quality of pine wood coming from mature stands growing in fresh coniferous forests (Bśw) and fresh mixed coniferous forests (BMśw). This assessment was based on the share of conventional knotless elements in the total number of conventional elements in 5-meter butt logs [2]. Analyses indicate a significant effect of growth and development conditions (the site) as well as the social position of the tree in the stand on wood quality manifested in the share of knotless wood.
