Comparison of Dendrometric Features of Scots Pine Trees and Wood Density from One of Genetic Origin Obtained from the Provenance Surface in Forest Research Institute in Rogów

Comparison of dendrometric features of Scots pine trees and wood density from one of genetic origin obtained from the provenance surface in Forest Research Institute in Rogów. Scots pine is characterized by high variability of morphological-tribal and physiological-growth features, which also translates into high variability in wood density. The provenance area of LZD in Rogów was founded on the international project of IUFRO organization in 1966. It is composed by 16 genetic origins of Scots pine closely described and nurtured throughout the life of trees, which creates wood material from this surface unique in research. Due to the fact that Scots pine is the most important conifer species in Poland, both for forests and for the industry, comprehensive research with regard to genetic origin seems to be necessary.
