Wood macrostructure of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) coming from an experimental site in the Siemianice Forest Experimental Station. The paper presents results of studies concerning the effect of provenance on the share of latewood in annual rings. Analyses were conducted on seven provenances grown on an experimental site located in the Siemianice Forest Experimental Station. It was established which of the investigated provenances have the greatest share of latewood in annual rings. It was also investigated which of the provenances differ significantly in terms of the analysed trait. Measurements were taken on discs collected from breast height of mean sample trees.

The research was conducted in selected 80- to 110-year-old spruce stands in the south-eastern part of the Českomoravská Upland at altitudes from 350 m a.s.l. to 465 m a.s.l. The regional standard tree-ring chronology shows very low increments for years 1974, 1976 and 1992. After 1992, there is a sharp rise in increments with a climax in 1997. Afterwards, increments gradually decrease, reaching minima in 2003 and 2008. The years with low increments were also confirmed by the analysis of negative pointer years when over 80% of the analysed trees responded by a sharp decrease in increment, mainly in years 1976 and 1992. We can usually find values of monthly precipitation or monthly temperature average which can explain or help explain these falls in the radial growth. The correlations of diameter increments with average monthly precipitation gain only positive statistically significant values, namely for the months of May, June, July and August of the particular year. The correlations of diameter increments with average monthly temperatures gain only negative statistical-ly significant values, namely for the months of June, July and September of the previous year and January and August of the particular year. In the examined area there is a significant negative correlation between average temperatures and monthly precipitation in July, August and September. The results of the habitual diagnostics show that with respect to the climatic conditions the health condition of the monitored stands is relatively good. On average, the defoliation does not exceed the values as-certained in different territories of the Czech Republic.

The effect of drought stress on regular cambium activity and wood formation in stems of two different clones of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) was investigated. Tissue samples were taken during the growing season from May to September 2010. Artificial drought stress, induced by long-term sheltering of the soil, was significantly manifested in clone 15. In the stressed individual, the period of cambium activity was shorter, the total number of formed cells was lower and the resulting tree ring was narrower. The number of cells in the phases of postcambial growth and secondary cell wall formation was significantly lower in comparison to the control tree. The tracheid lignification process was slower in the tree stressed by water deficit and the first mature tracheids were observed later. On the other hand, in clone 18 probably genetic dispositions played an important role as no considerable deviations in the cambium activity and new wood cells production were observed. Fitting xylem increments to the Gompertz function showed that the period of the most intensive cell formation was at the turn of June and July and the maximum daily production of new cells was higher in non-stressed individuals than in the stressed ones. The results of the experiment lead us to the conclusion that drought stress can significantly affect the cambium activity of some clones, the differentiation process of anatomical elements, and thus also the resulting tree ring width.

The effects of laccase from the white-rot basidiomycete fungus Trametes versicolor on Norway spruce wood (Pices abies) surface were studied. Experiments were performed at room temperature and at pH 4.6, without the addition of mediators. Biological, chemical and physical properties of the treated wood surface were examined by a wood decay test, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and a copper leaching test. Laccase pre-treatment of Norway spruce wood surface was shown to reduce wood decay by brown-rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum and white-rot fungus, Trametes versicolor. SEM images showed expanded wood cell walls, closed pits and a more even surface after laccase treatment. FTIR analysis indicated that laccase not only catalyse depolymerisation of lignin, but also affect other wood cell wall components, such as hemicellulose and cellulose. We showed that laccase treatment altered wood properties in a way that improved wood resistance to decay and prevented leaching of copper from impregnated wood.

Dendrological research on the radial growth of Norway spruce in Lithuania during the 20th century has been conducted. Hypothesis of the study is following: intensity of droughts during the 20th century is the main factor determining the state of spruce forests in Lithuania. Aim of the study was to estimate the impact of dry spring and summer climate conditions on Norway spruce during the 20th century with a respect to global climate change. Climate impact on the radial growth of spruce using multivariate regression techniques and detection of pointer years (i.e. years with narrow tree rings in the majority of trees) was investigated. The results show that for radial growth of spruce the most important factor is humid beginning of summer and that from four to six pointer years to droughts during the 20th century are attributed.

The incidence and severity of butt rot were assessed in 12 selected Norway spruce seed stands in the Beskidy Mountains, Poland. A semi-invasive technique of sonic tomography was used for the assessment of rot damage. Stands of different age classes (100–120, 130–150, 160–170 years old) and distinct regions of provenance (Istebna and Orawa) were investigated. Hierarchical analysis of variance was used to determine effects of stand age and stand provenance on butt rot occurrence at a stand level. High incidence of butt rot was noted in all of the studied seed stands (47% to 87% of diagnosed tree samples). Stand age had a significant effect on percentage share of ‘damaged wood’ on the tomogram. The extent of rot damage was rising with stand age, and the largest was observed in the age category 160–170 years. Spruce stands of Istebna provenance were generally more damaged by butt rot than those of Orawa provenance, however, the latter have been growing in forest sites more suitable for spruce in terms of fertility and altitude. Hierarchical analysis of variance did not show a statistically significant relationship between the region of provenance and average share of ‘damaged wood’ on the tomogram. Presented results indicate that for stands growing in similar conditions vulnerability to butt rot is determined by stand age. Further research is needed to separate impact of stand provenance identified with specific genetic constitution of a population from the effect of environmental conditions typical of a given region of provenance.

In the Czech Republic, Norway spruce has a natural representation in all forest altitudinal vegetation zones, in some of which (FAVZ 1, 2 and 9), however, it is scarce. The three basic climatic ecotypes of spruce identified in the Czech territory, i.e. an upland ecotype, a higher elevation ecotype and a mountain ecotype, can be characterised on the basis of the forest altitudinal vegetation zones of their origin. The paper presents the breeding work completed so far and all the breeding programmes implemented for Norway spruce, including projects worked out for the Krkonoše National Park.

Creating strip roads in second age class stands is an indispensible operation for carrying out thinning. It is especially important in places where there is an intention to do a first thinning using mechanised thinning operations. Felling trees to create strip roads results in altered conditions for the tree growth of neighbouring trees.In particular, this is due to an increase in exposure to sunlight. This can lead to changes in the growth of trees and consequently changes in the morphology of the trunk and the development of defects. The objective of this paper was to analyse the frequency of the presence of particular defects in the structure and shape of spruce ina five-year period after the creation of a strip road. The research was carried out in an artificially regenerated spruce stand within the spruce’s natural, northern habitat in Poland. A 34-year-old stand underwent a systematic thinning scheme which involved the removal of every eighth tree row. The analysis was carried out on trees growing both adjacent to the strip roads (which had a greater growing area around them and greater access to sunlight) as well as trees from further within the stand. Diameter growth was taken in three places: at breast height, in the middle of the trunk between breast height and the base of the crown, as well as at the base of the crown. The average incremental growth, pith eccentricity taper and ovality were calculated. No statistically significant difference in defects between the trees growing by the strip road and those growing further in the stand was observed. Greater taper on mid-tree logs in comparison to butt logs was observed. Insignificant changes in the morphology of the trunks, supports the validity of cutting strip roads in second age class stands.

Zakładanie szlaków operacyjnych staje się niezbędne przy stosowaniu współczesnych technologii w gospodarce leśnej. Ich obecność to również zwiększony dostęp do światła dla drzew rosnących na ich skraju, co z kolei może wpływać na różnice we wzroście tych drzew w porównaniu z drzewami wewnątrz drzewostanu. Celem pracy była analiza częstości występowania niektórych wad budowy i kształtu mogących wpływać na jakość surowca drzewnego w 5 lat po wykonaniu zabiegu. Drzewostan świerkowy w wieku 34 lat został poddany trzebieży schematycznej poprzez wycięcie co 8. rzędu drzew. Analizie poddano drzewa rosnące przy szlaku PS (z asymetrycznie większymi stoiskami i dostępem do światła) oraz drzewa wewnątrz drzewostanu ( WD 5–10 m od osi szlaku). Badano przyrosty na wysokości pierśnicy, w połowie długości między pierśnicą a podstawą korony i u podstawy korony oraz obliczono przeciętny przyrost, mimośrodowość rdzenia i zbieżystość. Nie zaobserwowano występowania statystycznie istotnych różnic pomiędzy analizowanymi cechami drzew PS i WD, jednakże u drzew rosnących PS zaobserwowano istotnie większą zbieżystość kłód środkowych w porównaniu z odziomkowymi. W krótkim okresie(5 lat) po założeniu szlaków w drzewostanie świerkowym II klasy wieku nie stwierdzono zatem statystycznie istotnych różnic w morfologii pni drzew rosnących przy szlaku i w drzewostanie. Niemniej jednak zaobserwowano: 1) tendencje do zwiększonych przyrostów u drzew PS (szczególnie w połowie pnia) w 5. roku po wykonaniu zabiegu oraz 2)wzrost zbieżystości kłód środkowych wyrobionych z drzew PS. Wyniki te sugerują przeprowadzenie podobnych badań w dłuższym odstępie czasowym (niż 5-letni)od założenia szlaków.

The importance of the use of waxes in the wood industry has been increasing, particularly in Europe, since consumers, due to their increased environmental awareness, avoid using biocidally treated wood and wood from tropical forests. In this research two water-repellent emulsions in various concentrations were used: polyethylene and oxidised polyethylene wax emulsion. The performance of wax treated Norway spruce (Picea abies) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) wood was tested in two sorption experiments: conditioning in high relative air humidity (vapour diffusion) and non-continuous dipping (liquid flow). The sorption properties of oven and vacuum dried impregnated specimens were determined. During conditioning, wax treated Norway spruce specimens, vacuum and oven dried, had the same moisture content as control specimens; while treated vacuum dried beech had up to 25% lower moisture content than the parallel control specimens. An even higher difference was evident in volume changes of vacuum and oven dried beech specimens during the sorption test.

Znaczenie zastosowania wosków w przemyśle drzewnym rośnie, zwłaszcza w Europie, co spowodowane jest wzrostem świadomości ekologicznej, niechęcią konsumentów do używania drewna poddanego obróbce biocydami oraz drewna z lasów tropikalnych. W badaniach wykorzystano dwie emulsje wodoodporne o różnych stężeniach: polietylenową emulsję woskową i jej utlenioną wersję. Właściwości impregnowanego woskiem drewna świerka pospolitego (Picea abies) i drewna buka (Fagus sylvatica) zostały przebadane w trakcie badań sorpcji: klimatyzowania w warunkach wysokiej wilgotności względnej powietrza (dyfuzja pary) i przerywanego zanurzania (przepływ cieczy). Określono właściwości sorpcyjne impregnowanych próbek suszonych w suszarce i próżniowo. Podczas klimatyzowania próbki świerka pospolitego impregnowanego woskiem, suszone w suszarce i próżniowo, wykazały tę samą wilgotność, co próbki kontrolne. Impregnowane, wysuszone próżniowo drewno buka osiągnęło wilgotność do 25% niższą niż próbki kontrolne. Jeszcze większa różnica była widoczna w trakcie badania sorpcji w zakresie zmian objętości próbek buka suszonych w suszarce i próżniowo.

Modified versions of the Cry3A gene of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were transferred into Norway spruce (Picea abies). Both the biolistic approach and Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated procedure were employed for transformation of embryogenic tissue (ET) cultures. The latter method proved to be more efficient yielding 70 transgenic embryogenic tissue lines compared with 18 lines obtained by biolistics. The modified Cry3A genes were driven by a 35S promoter and the nptII screenable selection marker gene was used in all vectors. The transgenic ETs were molecularly characterized and converted into mature somatic embryos. Germinating embryos formed plantlets which were finally planted into perlite and their Cry3A gene transcription activities were demonstrated by RT-PCR.

Testing of the fatigue strength along wood fibres at different moisture contents. The paper determines the effect of wood moisture content on the fatigue strength in compression along fibres. The method of determining the maximum stress at the proportional limit was used for the measurements. Fatigue strength was investigated for three wood species: pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), bearded birch (Betula pendula Roth.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.), with two moisture contents: close to the absolutely dry state and above the fibre saturation point. The ratio of fatigue strength to short term strength depends on moisture content and is similar for birch (70.3% in the dry state and 72.1% in the wet state), for oak (67.4% and 69.5% in both states) and for spruce (66.6% in the dry state and 68.1% in the wet state). The moisture content of the wood clearly influences the fatigue strength of the wood. On average, the fatigue strength of wood with moisture contents above the fibre saturation point constitutes about 0.20 of the fatigue strength of wood with moisture contents close to 0%. This tendency was found regardless of the tested species. The simplified method for testing fatigue strength at the limit of proportionality has shown its limited usefulness, requiring further analysis and comparison with other methods in order to be thoroughly tested and possibly improved.

Badanie wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej wzdłuż włókien drewna przy różnej wilgotności. W pracy określono wpływ wilgotności drewna na wytrzymałość zmęczeniową przy ściskaniu wzdłuż włókien. Do pomiarów wykorzystano metodę wyznaczania maksymalnego naprężenia na granicy proporcjonalności. Wytrzymałość zmęczeniową zbadano dla trzech gatunków drewna: dębu szypułkowego (Quercus robur L.), brzozy brodawkowatej (Betula pendula Roth.) i świerka pospolitego (Picea abies L.), o dwóch wilgotnościach: zbliżonej do stanu absolutnie suchego i powyżej punkt nasycenia włókien. Stosunek wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej do wytrzymałości chwilowej zależy od zawartości wilgoci i jest podobny dla brzozy (70,3% w stanie suchym i 72,1% w stanie mokrym), dębu (67,4% i 69,5% w obu stanach) oraz świerka (66,6 % w stanie suchym i 68,1% w stanie mokrym). Zawartość wilgoci w drewnie wyraźnie wpływa na wielkość wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej drewna. Średnio wytrzymałość zmęczeniowa drewna o wilgotności powyżej punktu nasycenia włókien stanowi 0,20 wytrzymałości drewna o wilgotności bliskiej 0%. Tendencję tę stwierdzono niezależnie od badanego gatunku. Uproszczona metoda badania wytrzymałości zmęczeniowej na granicy proporcjonalności wykazała swoją ograniczoną przydatność, wymagającą dalszej analizy i porównania z innymi metodami w celu dokładnego przetestowania i ewentualnego udoskonalenia.

We carried out an experiment with using the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. for sanitation of active infested trees. We used 15 active infested trees from which 5 stems were treated with an insecticide, 5 were treated with solution of the tested entomopathogenic fungus and 5 were left as control. The used insecticide was pyretroid Fury 10 EW. We used a biopreparation based on the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana in form of wettable powder. The material was diluted. The suspension contained 107spores of the tested entomopathogenic fungus in 1 ml. The suspension was applied across the whole stem surface. We succeeded to infect about 28.75% of Ips typographus L. individuals in the treated stems. The number of live individuals was comparable with the variant using the insecticide.

Net ecosystem production reflects the potential of the ecosystem to sequestrate atmospheric CO2. Daily net ecosystem production of a mountain Norway spruce forest of the temperate zone (Czech Republic) was determined using the eddy covariance method. Growing season days when the ecosystem was a CO2 source were examined with respect to current weather conditions. During the 2005, 2006, and 2007 growing seasons, there were 44, 65, and 39 days, respectively, when the forest was a net CO2 source. The current weather conditions associated with CO2 release during the growing seasons were: cool and overcast conditions at the beginning or end of the growing seasons characterized by a 3-year mean net ecosystem production of -7.2 kg C ha-1 day-1; overcast or/and rainy days (-23.1 kg C ha-1 day-1); partly cloudy and hot days (-11.8 kg C ha-1 day-1); and overcast and hot days (-13.5 kg C ha-1 day-1). CO2 release was the highest during the overcast or/and rainy conditions (84%, average from all years), which had the greatest impact during the major production periods. As forests are important CO2 sinks and more frequent weather extremes are expected due to climate change, it is important to predict future forest carbon balances to study the influence of heightened variability in climatic variables.

In 2004, abundant flowering of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) was observed in two second- generation seed orchards: (1) ‘Outbreeding’, promoting crossing between clones of five geographically distant populations; and (2) ‘Kolonowskie’, restoring a population whose offspring exists only in an international experiment (IUFRO 1964/1968). In bothseed orchards, female strobili were produced by 91.3% and 91.7% of clones, represented by 64.1% and 55.5% of grafts, respectively, and statistically significant differences between clones were found in the number of mature cones. In the case of the seed orchard ‘Outbreeding’, the number of mature cones in individual clones was significantly correlated with latitude of the origin of maternal populations (r = 0.8826, p = 0.0470). The majority (95%) of cones in seed orchards ‘Outbreeding’ and ‘Kolonowskie’ were produced by only 28.2% and 38.5% of all clones, and 21.4% and 25.7% of all grafts, respectively. These data attest to a disparity between the level of genetic diversity in seed orchard progeny resulting from the observed numbers of cone-bearing clones and grafts and the genetic diversity expected from the actual participation of clones and grafts in seed orchard composition. The estimated seed production per 1 ha of seed orchard area in 2004 reached 21.05 kg for ‘Outbreeding’ and 21.72 kg for ‘Kolonowskie’.
