Świerk pospolity [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] w 30−letnim doświadczeniu proweniencyjnym serii IUFRO 1972 w Nadleśnictwie Doświadczalnym Siemianice

The paper focuses on the analysis of taxation characteristics of 20 Polish provenances of Picea abies (L.) Karst. In 1996, spruce from Istebna Bukowiec was taken as a standard provenance, which generated the highest yield while in 2001 – the provenance from Zwierzyniec Lubelski. This is indicative of an interaction between assessment results and age, as well as of the existence of spruce populations which are more productive than the spruce from Istebna Bukowiec. It is advisable to continue studies concerning identification of spruce genetic resources in Poland.
