Holzeigenschaften von Buchen aus immissionsgeschädigten Beständen

In 30 trees from two over 100 years old, immission-damaged beech stands in the Hils, Lower Saxonia, the growth increment at breast height (1,30 m) as well as moisture content and wood density were investigated. Trees of damage class 2 with the greatest damage showed greater increment from the beginning of the 70ties and stronger variabilities in moisture content as compared with trees of damage classes 0 and 1. No immission-induced changes in wood density could be found.
