The objective of the research was to assess the soil structure parameters (the index of cloddiness, of pulverization, of soil structure and the mean weighted diameter of soil aggregates – MWDa), as well as the selected chemical soil properties (pH, the content of organic carbon, total nitrogen and available potassium and phosphorus) in the three urban forests in Wrocław (SW Poland) depending on the...
The paper presents the assessment of possible impact of climate change on forest ecosystems in Poland and its consequences in the forest management planning. Scenarios of climate change in the twenty first century do not allow unambiguous determination of the rate and direction of these changes. However, it is believed that climate change could have negative economic consequences, which directly or...
The article presents the essence and importance of internal audit as well as the incentives to use it in forest companies. The research utilizes the database of enterprises, which submitted their offers in the process of the best bid selection during the procedures of public procurement in the field of forestry (forest management, forest protection including fire prevention, timber harvest and loggong,...
Disturbances occurring in the riverside forest ecosystems also translate into the ability of litter decomposition. Determination of the litter decomposition rate and the changes in its chemical composition in the course of riparian habitat changes was the aim of the study. The study was conducted in 2011 in Jezierzyca River Valley Landscape Park located partly on a floodplain of Oder river (SW Poland)...
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the age of parent tree stand on selected physical properties of Norway spruce seeds to improve the efficiency of seed separation processes. Seeds were harvested in a forest complex located in the seed zone No. 202, in the municipality of Kruklanki in the Borki Forest District (N Poland) during mast years (1999, 2004, 2007 and 2012). The...
Forestry management in anthropo−transformed habitats is characterized by a very high risk. The formation of waste as well as flooding of tree stands by salty water from different sources of mining and processing of coal is an important issue on the industrial areas. The introduction of the pollution load in the form of saline water leads to increased soil salinity, which can damage or cause the dieback...
Making transportation possible in forest areas is essential for forest management to ensure the protection of tree stands (fire access roads, forest monitoring) and use (in situ sales of wood), as well as for tourism and educational purposes. The units of the State Forests National Forest Holding optimize the spatial and quantitative network of roads, but as the manager of the National Treasury's...
The article is related to recreational use of forests, a dynamically growing sector of forest exploitation complying with the European model of multifunctional forestry. The study examined the relation between selected forestry operations performed in forests and the level of their recreational usefulness (recreational potential), and separately between the type of forest−hold and the dominant function...
Mistletoe is semiparasite adversely affecting the functioning of their hosts especially at water management level. So far, there have been no reports about the impact of mistletoe on seeds from any host. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of the presence of mistletoe on the quality of the seeds of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Unopened cones from infected and uninfected trees were collected...
Currently, the evaluation of scientific journals is one of the most important tools in scientific policy, and points awarded for publications in journals play a key role in assessing the achievements of researchers and in the parametric evaluation of scientific institutions. The aim of the study was to examine the contribution of Polish journals from the field of life sciences with Impact Factor in...
