An analysis of the quality and value of timber in pine tree stands representing selected ecotypes of this species in Poland

Abstract

An analysis of the quality and value of timber in pine tree stands representing selected ecotypes of this species in Poland . This paper attempts to compare the value and quality of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) represented by four of its ecotypes, i.e. Bolewice, Gubińska, Taborska and Supraska. The research was carried out on old pine tree stands aged between 104 and 113 years of age located on four surfaces. In total, 780 pines which represented the four ecotypes were analysed. The height and the diameter at breast height were measured on each surface. Also the quality class of the boles on the trunk was determined. The acquired measurements allowed us to determine wood volume and the quality of timber in the tree stands representing each of the analysed ecotypes. The highest wood volume was ascertained in the tree stand representing the Supraska ecotype, while the best quality, and at the same time the best value of wood, was the feature of the Taborska ecotype.
