dc.abstract.enClimate change and the gradual phaseout of the spruce from Central Europe inspired us to study the effects of the ageing process of trees on wood properties. This study was conducted in old tree stands with significant involvement of the spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) in the ages between 122 and 177 years. The study material (samples) was collected from the selected trees to study wood properties such as density, resilience to compressive strength, resilience to bending strength, and modulus of elasticity. The results and findings of this study indicate that the spruce currently reaches the optimal technical quality of wood tissue at approximately 60 years of age. It is approximately 20 years earlier than the planned cutting age for the species. This could be due to water stress which led to adaptive changes in the wood tissue and earlier technical maturation of the wood in the studied trees. Significant radiant variabilities of wood properties of the Norway spruce were observed. It was determined that wood density does not fully reflect its mechanical properties, and it can be considered an indicator of the technical quality of wood tissue, but only within a limited scope. The results obtained may not only be applied in optimising the use of wood from spruce stands. They can also indicate the need to change the approach to managing spruce stands and their conversion towards broadleaf species.
