Journal Title: Zarządzanie ochroną przyrody w lasach - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
An analysis of the economic activity conducted by the Regional Directorate of State Forests (RDSF) in Olsztyn over a five-year period (2009-2013) revealed that RDSF properly responded to market trends. In the Region of Warmia and Mazury, the estimated standing timber volume (gross) is 140 million cubic meters, with high abundance of large timber per hectare. According to the report of the National Forest Inventory for 2009-2013, the gross increment in the growing stock in state-owned Polish forests managed by the National Forest Holding State Forests reached 9.25 m3/ha (five-year average) and it continues to increase. In the analyzed period, the total volume of harvested timber in the Region of Warmia and Mazury increased by 17% (Table 3), to 2 868 189 m3. RDSF in Olsztyn supplies 8.4% of the total timber harvest volumes in Poland, and it is ranked among the top timber suppliers. Due to the soil and climate conditions in the area administered by RDSF in Olsztyn, the predominant tree species grown for timber is the pine (55%), followed by the spruce, birch, oak, alder, aspen, hornbeam, lime, fir and ash. An important issue that needs to be addressed is stand reconstruction aimed at selecting tree species that are better suited to local habitat conditions. In 2013, a total estimated area under stand reconstruction was 2,500 hectares of forest land.The analysis of timber sales in 2009-2013 indicates that the income of RDSF in Olsztyn increased by 40. 5% over the analyzed period (Table 6). The average selling price of timber was PLN 166.6 per cubic meter, it increased by PLN 27.6 and was by 19.8% higher than in 2009. It should be noted that both the price of timber per cubic meter and the total timber sales volume fluctuated over the analyzed period. In the last two years, a 10% drop in the price of timber per cubic meter was observed, which resulted in a decrease in the total timber sales volume (Table 6).
