As a result of the query, limited to the content analysis of only those articles...

In Central Europe, deforestation led to a reduction of forest area by almost 80%, compared to the original area, by the beginning of the 20^th century. At this point in time, a period of intensive reforestation began in an effort to restore forest areas. This process of reforestation, especially on...

The aim of the study was (i) to analyze the selected costs of silviculture and forest protection against game and (ii) to determine the relationship between the presence of deer in forest ecosystems and the value of selected costs in the forest districts of the Regional Directorate of the State...

The possibilities for forests and forest management to fulfil specific functions were made on the basis...

The therapeutic potential of the forest results mostly from the accumulation of volatile organic compounds produced by the forest plants. These compounds are found in the highest concentration in the air space between the soil and the tree canopy and they are important cofactors in the regulation...

Integrating the economic aspects of forest management (cost) with ecological elements of timber production (habitat type) significantly contributes to a better understanding of forest growth and utilisation. The type of silvicultural treatments and forest habitat types determine number of economic...
