1. Forests in Poland and Europe. Characteristics and management

Western and northern parts of Poland as well as the Carpathian Mountains in the extreme south, are much more forested than eastern and central provinces. The most forested administrative districts of the country are: Lubusz Voivodeship (48,9%), Subcarpathian Voivodeship (37,2%), and Pomeranian Voivodeship (36,1%). The least forested are: Łódź Voivodeship (21%), Masovian Voivodeship (22,6%), and Lublin Voivodeship (22,8%)

10. Forestry...

11. Europe’s forests and other wooded land occupy 42% of the EU-27 land area, a total of 177 million hectares of which 89 million hectares are used to obtain wood and other products for the market (EC, 2011). These include sawn timber, wood-based panels, pulp for paper, cork, woodfuel for renewable energy, and non-wood products such as berries, mushrooms and wild game.

12. All forests, whether harvested or not, have the capacity to provide a wide range of ‘non-market’ ecosystem services including the protection of soils and water and the storage and sequestration of carbon, all underpinned by the biodiversity of EU forests.
