Abstract
In the conditions of the Luga-Oredezhsky landscape of the Leningrad region, a study of the density of spruce wood was conducted. The objects of the study were ripe relatively pure spruce forests growing on forest and postagrogenic lands. For spruce stands growing on old arable lands, there is a higher density of wood than for plantations on forest soils. The modeled graphs of the quadratic function make it possible to predict the density of wood by the height of the spruce trunk for similar growing conditions. The study revealed the different nature of the formation of the density of spruce wood in the height of the trunk at different levels of tree thickness. The differences are confirmed by a variance analysis of the data obtained.
