Abstract

The paper analyzes the external defects detected on poplar specimens from Vadul Roşu alignment, Braşov County. To better highlight the variation of the defects, they were grouped by defect type, cardinal directions and sections of tree height. For example, for damages (wounds) three portions in the tree height were considered: portion between the ground and 1 m height, portion between 1 and 2 m and the portion higher than 2 m.
