Kinds of forests in Europe
Tundra is type of biome where the
tree growth is hindered by low
temperatures and short growing
seasons. In tundra, the vegetation is
composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and
grasses, mosses, and lichens.
Temperate forests correspond to forest
concentration formed in the northern and southern
hemisphere, or in temperate regions. Main
characteristics include: wide leaves, large and tall
trees and non seasonal vegetation. The main trees
found in these forests are the great redwood, oak,
ash, maple, birch, beech, poplar, elm and pine.
Mediterranean
vegetation, any scrubby, dense
vegetation composed of
broad-leaved evergreen
shrubs, bushes, and small trees
Boreal Forest- lies to the south of the
tundra and to the north of deciduous
forests and grasslands. Many plant
species are found in the Taiga, but
coniferous trees are obviously the
dominant plant form. the vegetation is
composed of Fir, pine, moss, lichen
Steppe is an ecoregion, in the
montane grasslands and
shrublands and temperate
grasslands, savannas, and
shrublands biomes, characterized
by grassland plains without trees
apart from those near rivers and
lakes.

The area of national parks is divided into different areas using
separate methods of conservation. There are strict protection
zone, active and landscape.
In areas bordering the park designated as buffer zone of the
national park. The buffer zone can be formed protective zone of
game animals and are non-inclusion of hunting . National parks
is available to visit, but tourism can be here only in designated
areas, trails, roads, paths.
National Parks are funded from the central budget . Are
managed by the directors, as an advisory body to the Council of
the park. The April 30, 2004 parks were supervised by the
National Board of National Parks . From 1 May 2004, the duties
were taken over by the Ministry of the Environment Department of Forestry, Nature Conservation and Landscape
since January 19, 2007 Independent Department for Natura
2000 areas and National Parks.
The National Parks Unit of the National Board of the Polish
Ecological Club has taken the position that forests constitute one
of the most important elements of our nation’s ecosystems and
so must be given considerable attention. Poland’s efforts to
prepare for European Union membership have also drawn
attention to environmental quality issues, including forest issues.
