Effects of Forestry Transformation on the Ecosystem Level of Biodiversity in Poland’s Forests

Abstract:This paper presents the results of an analysis of the effects of Poland’s forest management evolution over the last 75 years on forest biodiversity at the ecosystem level. Forest biodiversity changes in the two politically and economically different eras (socialism and democracy) are interpreted based on four indicators used in assessments of forest stands (naturalness; habitat diversity; forest management system; forest stand age structure). In the era of socialism (1945–1989), there were dynamic increases in… Show more
“…At the macro-scale, this Special Issue discusses three aspects of forest ecosystem characteristics and management, i.e., characteristic identification [5][6][7][8], mechanism analysis [9][10][11], and optimization management [12].…”

“…Achieving the sustainable management and high-quality development of forest ecosystems is the ultimate goal of this Special Issue, with most of the papers presented proposing specific strategies according to their results and conclusions. Taking Poland as a typical case, Referowska-Chodak and Kornatowska (2023) [12] analyzed the effects of Poland's forest management evolution over the last 75 years on forest biodiversity. The evolution of forest management practice implemented in Poland's forests by the State Forests National Forest Holding led to the restoration of/an increase in biodiversity.…”
