Technical harvesting ages were calculated for the main wood species in Romania: Norway spruce, silver fir, Austrian pine, European larch, European beech, sessile oak, pedunculated oak, Turkey oak, Hungarian oak, European hornbeam, silver birch, silver linden, willow, black locust, silver poplar and black poplar. Target wood assortments considered in the study were established based on dimensional assortments presented in the Romanian sorting tables. The actuality and the relevance of this study is given by several factors, such as the diversification of ownership structure over the forest lands in Romania and the necessity of technical harvesting ages established for a wider range of wood assortments than those presented in the Romanian technical norms for forest management planning. Since the current technical harvesting ages are based on the old Romanian yield tables and taking into account the numerous changes of the Romanian forest laws, an upgrade of harvesting ages was necessary.
