The study provides an analysis of the scope and conditions of using business information by Polish private forest entrepreneurs. The study is based on the results of research conducted in 2003 and 2007 using the same methodology. During four years between two successive study cycles, forest entrepreneurs showed a significant growth of interest in the available sources of information. The outfitting...
Presented investigations focused on spatial variability of forest soil pH on an example of luvisols derived from loess with underlier of marlstones. Four study plots were located in different parts of the slope. Marlstones, present deeper than 1 m under loess layer, had most significant influence on spatial variability of topsoil pH. Despite relatively thick separation from the surface, the marlstone...
Genetic markers in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA were analysed to determine the native status and possibly trace the origin of the silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) growing outside this species natural range in Osusznica Forest District (northern Poland). The provenance of the extralimital populations were determined through comparison with reference samples from the native range of silver fir in...
Complete discontinuation of agricultural use of subalpine meadows in the Western Bieszczady, which dates back to 1940s, started the process of their overgrowing with brushwood. Based on available cartographic material the following features were analysed: changes in the area occupied by brushwood on Mała Rawka and Wielka Rawka subalpine meadows, their growth rate and the relationship between the overgrowth...
The paper presents an analysis of merchantable timber volume in three Scots pine stands aged 35, 50 and 88 years depending on Kraft's classes. It also shows the strength of the relationship between this volume and various measures of a tree's growth space (crown projection area, crown width, Seebach's growth space number, crown projection area ratio, space of a single tree and crown spread), crown...
The paper investigates a landslide that occurred in the Śnieżnik Massif (SW Poland) in July 2011 after the heavy rainfall. Damage to the infrastructure in Międzylesie and Lądek Zdrój forest districts, in which the losses were the most extensive, are presented. Study analyses not only weather conditions, but also geo− morphologic and hydrologic factors associated with the occurrence of the mass movement.
The aim of this research was to assess damage to three important forest−forming trees species in the mountains – spruce, fir and larch, and to study their increment reaction to changing environmental conditions. Research concerned forests under the management of four forest districts located in the Western Sudetes (SW Poland). Index W ranging from 0 to 3 was used for the assessment of the damage to...
Glades are an important element in the landscape of the Gorce Mts. (southern Poland). The cessation of use of the glades triggered the spontaneous process of landscape development − renaturalization, leading to their gradual overgrowing. The paper presents the results of research on the renaturalization of 46 glades situated in the upper montane belt in the Gorce Mts.
