Paper evaluates the conditions that affect the functioning of the timber market and its role in the development of forestry and timber industry during the ninety−year−history of the State Forests. Four periods were distinguished, which, according to the authors, correspond to the key stages of development of the Polish State: the interwar period (1918−1938), the period of the Second World War (1939−1945),...
The paper presents determination of the rotation age in Scots pine stands of 1st site index class on the example of Pisz Forest District (northern Poland). The development of quantitative and qualitative changes in the structure of 10 stands, forming a homologous series ranged between 40 and 130 years was the basis for determining their rotation age. Stand maturity for cutting was determined taking...
The paper presents the results of the second inventory following the removal of a poor−quality old−growth pine stand relating to the biosocial structure, breast height diameter and height of fir trees planted in two experimental variants (rows and groups) that already have reached 50 years of age.
The paper presents the list of locations of the arboreal medicinal fungus Inonotus obliquus identified in 1995−2011 in central and eastern Poland. The total mass of the sclerotia of this fungus was estimated. The principles of its protection and uses by the State Forests were discussed. The change in the threat status of the species on the Red List of Fungi was proposed.
Maintaining biological diversity is one of the main goals of modern forestry. To reach this objective we need to know how management practices affect forest species. This study summarizes the results published in papers on the influence of clear−cutting on small mammals. Most of the studied species increased in abundance on clear−cuts. The response of voles (Microtus agrestis and M. arvalis) was uniformly...
Forming of site index class of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in relation to forest site types (including their moisture variants) and soil units (type/subtype and also – in minor extent – geological genesis of soil parent material) was investigated. The research was conducted in the Bolesławiec, Głogów and Oława forest districts (SW Poland) in 348 Scots pine stands. The values of the pine...
We assumed that wood of trees undamaged by wind will be characterized by higher basic density than wood of damaged specimens. It was stated that wood of windthrow had lower basic density, but differences were not statistically significant. Two parts of wood: (compressed and tensioned zones) were analyzed separately. Higher density was found in tensioned zone of windthrow and in compressed zone in...
Paper describes functioning of the Imperial & Royal Foresters School in Bolechów established in 1883 and closed in 1913 as the only school of that type in Galicia (south−eastern part of nowadays Poland and western Ukraine). The school was very popular as it was governmental entity and thus provided scholarships for the poorest pupils and graduation guaranteed the job in the forest authorities...
The paper discusses the biologically active compounds contained in onion (Allium cepa L.) such as thio− sulfinates and other organosulfur compounds, saponins and flavonoids as well as evaluates their biological role. Method for biofungicides preparation, whose essential element is an aqueous extract of onion, and the possibility of its application in forest nurseries are presented. Content of polyphenols...
