The basics of sustainable forest management in forest promotional complexes
  • The basics of sustainable forest management in forest promotional complexes
  • Biodiversity ; Concept ; Dead wood ; Decision making process ; Ecosystem ; Environmental management ; Forest ; Forestry ; Sustainable development
  • The intent to create Forest Promotional Complex (FPC) was introducing a new quality to Polish forestry – by taking into account social preference for forests, by embracing local community needs, by compromising forest production with nature
  • protection and to introduce the rules of sustainable and balanced forest development. Main subject of this study is a dead wood and its ecological functions in managed forests and chosen FPC reserves. The problem of naturalization or ecologisation of forest

  • The amount of forest compositional change that occurred due to Euro-American settlement over the past two centuries is compared with changes simulated to occur in the future under 2X and 3.5X atmospheric CO2 scenarios. The comparison employs data
  • from presettlement land survey records, modern forest inventory data, and future predictions from niche-based species distribution models. Comparisons are made in 4 independent study areas in western Pennsylvania and New York. The similar results across
  • the 4 study areas disagree with previous pollen-based estimates that suggested a greater relative influence of a 2X CO2 climate change, but do indicate that a 3.5X CO2 climate change may cause greater changes in forest composition than has already

  • Damage ; Forest ; Mountain ; Poland ; Storm ; Sudety ; Temperate zone ; Tree uprooting ; Wind
  • This paper focuses on the analysis of severe damage caused in the forest stands of the Sudetic Mountains by a hurricane-force wind induced by an extra-tropical cyclone. The study area included 16 Forest Districts extending over the forested part
  • of the Polish Sudetes. The analysis was based on historic background for the area, and information on past damage done to forest stands as consequence of the impact of very strong wind. The bulk of the data which helped in estimating the extent of wind-related
