The paper presents the study of physiological workload at forester and deputy forester workstations in 62 forest districts located all over Poland. The research was carried out on the sample group of 185 foresters and 167 deputy foresters in the course of one week (Monday−Friday) in each season of the year. The sample group was selected based on the unit’s management difficulty degree and personal...
The aim of the study was to recognize the annual worktime structure and the actual number of working hours at the forester and deputy forester workstations in the State Forests. The research was carried out on the sample group of 462 workers in all regional directorates of the State Forests in 62 forest districts and 242 forest ranges. The study group consisted of 21 (4.5%) forest foresters from one−man...
The aim of this study was to measure the weight of timber obtained from freshly cut trees and compare it with the applicable legal provisions pertaining the capability of transporting heavy loads by hand and also to indicate a problem significant for the occupational safety and health protection of employees working at wood harvesting. In Poland, about 40 million m³ of timber is harvested annually...
Wood obtained from freshly cut trees has a high moisture content and therefore its mass per volume unit is higher than the mass of dry wood. The natural drying is a simple and effective method of weight (moisture content) reduction, making a better use of the vehicle's payload, and thus reducing costs, including environmental costs. The conclusion is based on simulations and analyzes attempting to...
In this study peroxynitrite (ONOO−) is proposed as an important player in defence responses during the interaction of potato (Solanum tuberosum) and the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. The potato–avr P. infestans model system exhibited a transient programme of boosted ONOO− formation correlated in time with the burst of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide during the first 6 h post‐inoculation...
The study objectives included: i) determination of the mass and green density of pulpwood (wood+bark) and ii) comparison of the changes in these parameters during 14−day−long storage period. The experiment was conducted between 15 and 28 July 2014 and the material was taken from the 67 year−old Scots pine stand (Tuchola Forest District, northern Poland). Using the Urich method, 30 model trees were...
