Set of ‘nonparametric’ methods, that don’t make a priori assumption about functional form of empirical distribution was developed as an alternative to the parametric distribution modeling. The kernel estimators are one of such methods, that can be used to describe the frequency of data representing for example DBH records. Kernel smoothing requires the choice of weighting function and bandwidth also...
The aim of the study was to apply the forest soil trophic index (ITGL) in the assessment of post−agricultural soil under naturally regenerated silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) stands. The study was conducted in Mazowieckie region (central Poland) in 10 locations (tab. 1). In each location we established 4 study plots with naturally regenerated silver birch of different age. The age of the investigated...
The nun moth Lymantria monacha L. and pine lappet moth Dendrolimus pini L. belong to the insects occurring in cyclical outbreak threatening the sustainability of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. forests. The populations of both species are reduced in aerial treatments carried out in Poland on thousands of hectares. Therefore there still is a need to implement to the forest practice insecticides that...
The study objective was to verify the hypothesis on ecotypic variation in beech and ineffectiveness of transferring its reproductive material over larger distances. Beech nuts were collected in the autumn of 1990. Experimental sites were established in the Baligród and Oleszyce forest districts (SE Poland). On single plots of 18.00×13.75 m (247.5 m²), a total of 110 three−years−old seedlings were...
The Białowieża Forest (BF) is in many respects an exceptional object, of a great importance for nature protection and forest management, at the international scale. The BF plays also a key role from the point of view of regional development and welfare of local community. In the last period, a big threat for multiple values of the BF has arisen, as a result of enormous bark beetle infestation, which...
Forest area in Poland is annually evaluated as a part of public statistics research. However, this information is based on land use resulting from Land and Property Register (LPR). Delays in the reclassification of afforested land, as well as the natural expansion of trees on abandoned agricultural lands, observed over the last decades, caused that information from LPR becomes unreliable. In many...
This article examines the history of forest cartography in Poland. It describes the results of two years of research carried out by the author at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. The aim of the work was to recognise the forest maps stored in the archives and to give their general description. An original procedure was developed for this purpose. Investigations were limited to...
The aim of the study was to analyse (on the basis of the data from the State Forests Information System) the changes occurring in the Bieszczady forests in the period of 2007−2016. One of the processes taking place in the study area is the withdrawal of grey alder stands and the appearance of natural regeneration of mainly beech and fir, and in a smaller proportion spruce (fig. 1). Another natural...
