The paper presents
the results of the research carried out in even-aged Norway spruce stands
regarding the density of wood. This research brought up some unknown aspects
that can be considered as new contributions concerning the variation way
of wood density, one of the most important wood quality components. Using
an original method to determine the infradensity and a special methodology
for data treatment, it was possible to establish a model for prediction
of wood infradensity variation within tree based on the relationship between
this characteristic and the cambial age, ring width and relative height
on the trunk of spruce trees.
Keywords: Norway spruce trees, mean infradensity of the wood, wood
quality.
