Wytrzymałość na ściskanie wzdłuż włókien drewna sosny zwyczajnej uszkodzonej i nieuszkodzonej przez wiatr

Research was carried out in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands damaged by strong wind in six locations in Poland. The aim of this study was to analyse the radial variation of compressive strength parallel to grain in the wind−broken trees and neighbouring survivors. Strength tests were conducted in moisture above saturation fibre point. There were no significant differences in the radial distribution of the compressive strength between the compression side (breakage side) and the tension side (the opposite one). Either there were no significant differences between compression strength of damaged trees and neighbouring standing trees.
