dc.abstract.enAs a result of the progressing climate changes, there is an increase in the volume of pine deadwood harvested each year from Polish forests. Its presence is an important part of the forest ecosystem; however, there are some indications that the material obtained from dying trees can be characterized by lower quality and properties. Taking into account the growing issue of tree dieback, the volume of pine wood annually harvested in Poland, and the importance of wooden products from an economic standpoint, preliminary research aimed at recognizing the process and its effect on the mechanical properties was conducted. Model trees in Brzeg Forest District were selected based on the crown defoliation. The properties of wood obtained from trees representing three different categories of soundness were determined according to the relevant standards. Based on the results of density, modulus of elasticity, bending strength, and compressive strength, it was found that there were statistically significant differences in wood quality depending on the condition of the tree. The results were particularly interesting in the case of compressing strength, where a healthy tree of lower density showed a similar strength to a dying tree with a much higher density.
