Potential Areas in Poland for Forestry Plantation
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- Fast-growing tree plantations (in SILP, a specific separation is marked), with a poplar or larch in the main layer with a total share of at least 50%.
- Area lists include the entire surface of the plantation areas that were not reduced by any fraction of a dominant species in the main layer.
- The thickness of the selected species and not the entire plantation was specified in the thickness records.
- The plantation-grown species for the wood industry are poplar cultivar “Hybrid 275” and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.).
- An analysis of the division of the surveying area and land use in 2016 refers to the specification presented in the characteristics of the agricultural holdings [46].
- The land shares to be dedicated to plantations:
- ▪
- not less than 5% and not more than 10% of the sown areas, permanent crop areas and forest land and
- ▪
- not less than 5% and not more than 30% of the areas of fallow land, wasteland and other land.
- Potential plantation land will be allotted completely for the cultivation of fast-growing trees; assuming a 100% production capacity of 14 m3 × ha−1 (annually) for larch and 25 m3 × ha−1 (annually) for the poplar cultivar “Hybrid 275” and 50% production capacity from the plantation [16], the production cycle should take 40 years in the case of European larch and 25 years in case of the poplar cultivar “Hybrid 275”).
- Total cover of the plantation with European larch, total cover of the plantation with poplar cultivar “Hybrid 275”, 50% cover with larch and 50% cover with poplar.
