Abstract:
The growth conditions of forest trees and their effects on the quality of trees’ stems are described. Stems are distinguished in three quality classes. These effects refer to growth rate of trees, to formation of juvenile wood and to differentiation of wood structure and properties. Afterwards, the natural defects developed during the growth period of trees such as abnormal wood (compression, tension wood), deviations of trees from their typical form, abnormal arrangement of growth rings, spiral grain, disruption of the continuity of inner wood tissues, discolorations, natural growth characteristics, etc., as well as their effects on the quality of wood, are described and analyzed. Finally, the characteristics of normal wood without natural defects, variation of structure, properties and chemical composition and their effects on wood quality are analyzed.
