One of the most difficult technological operations in forest utilization is wood transport, especially its first stage i.e. extraction. This is related to the fact that the forest operations must be economically effective, but also safe for the forest environment. Difficult terrain conditions require determining and choosing the optimal variant of skidding. The most popular method for optimizing work...
The State Forests, National Forest Holding, is increasingly burdened with the costs of nature protection, recreational development and certification. As a consequence, there is an increase in costs and limitations in forest management. The emphasis is also on different social and environmental functions, and as a result, income from the sale of wood becomes smaller. The aim of the study is to verify...
The effectiveness of agrocultural processes in wooded areas depends, inter alia, on the kind of machines used. Mobile machines chopping branches with low power engines are characterized by limited adaptation of the drive unit to the operating conditions. This results in increased fuel consumption and increased exhaust emissions. In order to develop innovative control systems that reduce fuel consumption,...
European black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) is a widespread tree species associated with wetlands and riparian ecosystems, thus it plays an important ecological role. Due to its fast growth and favorable wood properties it also has a potential to satisfy a growing demand for wood and fiber. However, its growth potential is not fully realized in Poland. In this study we investigated variation...
The aim of the study was to assess the changes occurring in the forests of the Kłodzko Region in the recent period (2001−2017), with particular emphasis on the species composition of the stands, their share in age classes and the structure of harvested timber, including live trees, deadwood, wind−broken and wind−fallen trees. The Kłodzko Region located in the Sudety Mountains (SW Poland) covers the...
The rychtal pine is one of the most valuable ecotypes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) approved for the breeding purposes in Poland. However, it occupies stands typical for oaks and beeches as shown by the compatibility analysis of species composition in relation to the habitat type in which they occur. Such result raises some doubts in terms of the naturalness of the rychtal pine and calls its...
The article overviews the role of bats in the forest ecosystem (especially the European forest), the impact of environmental pollution on the forest and bats, and the issue of bats indication of the forest environment condition. Existing data on the transfer of pollutants to the environment and between the aquatic and terrestrial environment are reviewed. The water environment is an important receiver...
The programme of testing the progeny of permanent seed stands, parent trees, seed orchards and seedling seed orchards that has been run in Poland enables to determine the genetic value and silvicultural quality of the progeny of components of primary forest material. A better knowledge of population variability and adaptability to particular environmental conditions also allows for the updating and...
This study investigates the effect of the enrichment of Scots pine stands with a common beech understorey on changes in the species composition and selected life traits of an important zooindicator group, such as the ground beetles (Col. Carabidae). The field investigations were carried out in a fresh coniferous forest in the Myszyniec Forest District (N Poland) in stands with (P+) and without (P)...
The research concerned the implementation of tasks in the field of harvesting timber in 2008−2012 in pure pine stands aged 10−140. Numerical data from the SILP database were used for calculating the average price of timber in the intermediate harvest. The data on the volume harvested covered late cleaning, early thinning and late thinning. The assortment structure concerned the following groups of...
A prerequisite for effective forest management is a detailed economic analysis of given management determinants. In the forest district’s expenditures, next to the wood harvesting and skidding, the cost of silvicultural activities constitute a considerable share. The choice of forest management methods, including those for forest regeneration has a significant effect on the costs incurred for silvicultural...
The objective of the study was to identify and analyze long−term trends as well as cyclic, seasonal, and irregular effects in timber volume and prices by means of time series decomposition. The adopted multiplicative model was the product of all the time series components identified using the Census X11 method. The study material consisted of quarterly data on the volume and prices of timber sold...
Oak gall−nuts are pathological excrescences on the leaves of oaks (in Poland: Quercus robur L. and Q. petraea Liebl.) created by the Cynips quercusfolii L. The potential medical use of these non−wood forest products should be taken under consideration because of widespread use in folk medicine, but also because of the presence of gall−nuts of Middle Eastern oak species Quercus infectoria in the current...
The intermediate cuttings have an important impact on the stand structure and productivity. Choosing the right method of the treatment performance is the decision, which is fundamental in shaping tree stands stability. The radial increment, apart from the natural growth potential of particular species, is influenced by many abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors, among which one can distinguish...
The aim of the study is to characterise the working time structure of an operator of the LKT 82 skidder performing timber skidding on the sloping area, and to develop models of efficiency and time−consumption of the work depending on selected factors characteristic of the described transport process. The research was performed in the Sucha Forest District (S Poland). We considered two treatments:...
The main objective of the research was to evaluate the incremental response of Douglas fir and Scots pine subjected to strong environmental stress to variable thermal and precipitation conditions. We also attempted to determine periods of tree−ring width reduction caused by strong anthropopressure associated with the activities of nearby industrial plants, which are burdensome for the environment...
The aim of this study is to assess the economic efficiency of the forest management with particular emphasis on economic and financial indicators of the forest districts (namely Białowieża, Browsk and Hajnówka) constituting the ‘Puszcza Białowieska’ Forest Promotional Complex (FPC). The work involved analysis of indicators reflecting the financial condition of the forest districts with reference to...
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 data on the distribution and number of the capercaillie Tetrao urogallus in Poland for the period from the end of the 20th century up to 2017−2018 is presented. The capercaillie is a sedentary forest grouse living in old mountain forests and within the boreal zone. Since more than a century, the decrease in the numbers of the species has been observed, interlinked with the extinction of isolated...
The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) outbreak observed in the ‘Puszcza Białowieska’ Promotional Forest Complex since 2012 resulted in a total volume of 1.4 million m³ of dead trees in multiple spruce stands. The study aimed to assess the species composition of fungi occurring in spruce trunks at early stages of European spruce bark beetle attack. All the samples used in laboratory analyses...
