Growing spruce and pine wood on land being out of active agricultural use is important for many European regions. The study of the qualitative characteristics of coniferous wood makes it possible to predict target indicators of the obtained raw materials. The influence of xylem structural elements on the density of spruce pine wood on the postagrogenic lands of the boreal zone of Russia was studied. The objects of the research were spruce-pine stands growing on old arable land in the Gatchina district of the Leningrad region. Depending on the share of the species, various anatomical indicators of the macro-structure of wood influence the formation of the spruce and pine wood density. For the spruce part of the forest stand, the width of the annual increase makes a greater contribution to the formation of indicators of wood density. For the pine part of the forest stand the density of the wood correlates with the proportion of late xylem. With a different proportion of the species, the influence of macro-structural elements on the density of wood changes. Conducted analysis of variance showed a significant effect of the forest stand composition on the anatomical macro-structure of spruce and pinewood.
