In analysing the improvement and achievements of Polish forestry and woodland industries over the past 4 a long time, it is vital to take into account the placement triumphing after the tip of the second one international warfare, while those sectors of the nationwide financial system have been beginning their actions. to start with, it will be significant to contemplate the consequences of the warfare corresponding to: (a) the harvesting from the forests of the current Polish territory of three approximately 2 hundred million m of merchantable wooden, that's equivalent to the conventional harvest over a l2-year interval; (b) the destruction of over part the woodworking business power. as a result, the forested region contained in the new Polish limitations amounted forty years in the past purely to 20.8 according to cent of the full quarter of the rustic. there was a continuous strategy of expanding the forested sector of the rustic (although at a diminishing rate). In 1986 the woodland quarter amounted to 27.7 according to cent of the land floor, that's to 8.7 million ha, a rise of over 2 million ha in forty years. extensive afforestation, played whatever the possession type of the land through the country wooded area carrier, was once aimed essentially at making sturdy the losses within the forested sector and the rational use of land now not healthy for agricultural purposes.

How to encourage (without recourse to legislation) these owners to harvest the increment of their woods is a matter for considerable concern, since small forest owners control a signif icant proportion of the total forest area. The great majority of the population make use of the forest for recreation in one form or another; gathering berries and mushrooms is popular and of economic significance. g. the use of herbicides) are not acceptable in the forest. Better inventories and a better understanding of the whole forest ecosystem have made it possible to examine the long-term effects of different wood production strategies; the overall outlook is favourable for the continuing and increasing production of wood from the forests.
DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES AND THE FOREST BALANCE The development of Finland's forest resources is described by the results of the national forest inventories in 1951-1953, 1960-1963, 1964-1970, 1971-1976 and 1977-1984. The annual drain of the stemwood (removals + logging residues + silvicultural residues mortality) is estimated by wood utilization studies. Forest land (capable of growing closed forest) decreased a litlIe by clearing for fields in the 1950s and early 1960s. 4 million ha are in the national parks and natural reserves outside commercial wood production.
T. in 1947-1949. 2 new During the last 10 to 15 years, the production of wood-based panels, especially fibreboard, sulphite and dissolving pulp, as well as sawnwood in the 1980s, has stagnated or started to decrease. These products have lost much of their earlier competitiveness on world markets. Production costs, e. g. the cost of roundwood and labour costs. are higher in Finland than in many other producer countries. Paper and paperboard products, especially writing and printing papers, have turned out to be the most profitable.
