The article is a continuation of research on the relationship between forest habitat type and economic aspects of forest management. It assesses the impact of forest habitat types on reforestation costs. As a part of the implementation of the assumed work objectives, economic activities related to...

Forest valuation is an extremely difficult task. Due to the fact that forest is a product of nature, dynamically changing in time and space, there is neither economic nor empirical nor theoretic model of it. Since there is no calculation pattern, all existing calculations of forest value are only...

The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of the costs of silvicultural and wildlife protection measures on economic efficiency of forest management in three selected forest districts (Wejherowo, Supraśl and Żmigród). The economic efficiency of the measures taken was evaluated using the net ...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the financial and economic resources efficiency of forest districts in the years 2008-2012 using a nonparametric approach of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA is a linear programming based method for evaluating the performance of comparable production...

Environment creating and general social cost-consuming factors are of the utmost importance to realize the multifunctional forest management. As a result, in some forest districts, one notes a disproportionate relationship between the costs and incomes. It can determine the level of the achieved...

To date Polish literature on the subject has not discussed the ecological, operating and financial risks of forest management in a synthetic manner. Problems of financial risk have been analysed only sporadically. As a result no model is available to deal with risk management in Polish forestry....

In this paper, we present problems with the management of the forests acquired by the State Forests from the State Land Fund. This was particularly an issue in forest districts with a significant share of private forests, e.g. eastern part of Poland. The problem becomes more and more valid because...

The aim of the study is to determine non-economic forest values on the basis of economic value. In randomly selected stands, a point method of forest valorisation was carried out in relation to three groups of functions: protective, health-recreational and production. On the basis of the tax...

The first issue of 'Sylwan', the world's oldest forest scientific journal and the press organ of the Polish Forest Society, was published in 1820. The main goal of its founders was, as it is today, to promote forest knowledge among employees of every tier of forest administration, as well as among...

The paper presents results of studies concerning the effect of environmental conditions expressed in terms of forest site type on thinning intensity. The volume of timber harvested from various site types was compared for types of tending interventions (early thinning for positive selection and...
