The University of West Hungary won a Hungarian Scientific Research Fund tender, titled „Complex analysis of the physico-mechanical and surface-physical properties of wood with low density” (identification number: K116-216), to asses and investigate the Hungarian poplar stands with special emphasis on Pannonia poplar ( Populus x euramericana cv. Pannonia) wood. The primary aim of research is the investigation of the anatomical, mechanical and surface-physical properties of plantation-poplar wood from different regions to establish the possible use of poplar wood as structural material. The initial phase started with the research of relevant Hungarian publications, to have the needed information to start the field investigations, concerning the current situation of propagation material, forest cover aspects, cultivation and research studies in respect of anatomical and structural properties of poplar wood, which is presented in this study.
