Abstract
For field studies using the PiCUS 3 sonic tomograph, impressive trees growing in Florianka, Roztocze National Park, belonging to the genera Acer, Quercus and Tilia, were selected. The conducted studies indicate that tomographic diagnostics of tree trunk cross-sections produce accurate results and clearly show the extent and location of wood decay. The PiCUS® Sonic 3 offers excellent diagnostic support for assessing the health of trees.
