Transcript FORESTS IN POLAND AND EUROPE.

FORESTS IN POLAND AND
EUROPE.
RUSSIAN TAIGA
• Taiga is the largest zone of the plants in Russia. It
covers nearly 60% of the country and on this area it
focuses on more than 80% of all the forests of
Russia. Taiga can be divided into two sub-zones: the
taiga zone proper and the mixed forests. The correct
taiga is dominated by coniferous forests.
FRENCH FORESTS
• Forests cover 28% of the country. France was primarily
covered in deciduous forests which still form large areas of
the country focusing on the north and the central part of the
country, omitting only the mountain areas and the
Mediterranean lands. In the eastern, central and northern
part of France grow forests with the participation of beech,
oak mixed with hornbeam, maple and fir.
POLAND – BORY TUCHOLSKIE
• One of the largest pine forests in
Poland. It takes approximately 3
thousand km2 in the basin of the Brda,
the Wda, the Tucholska Plain and the
Charzykowska Plain .
SWEDEN FORESTS
• Sweden due to a large extent meridian lies on the border of two
vegetation zones: mixed forests in the south and taiga in the
central and northern parts of the country. The southern part of
Sweden is covered with deciduous forests. In the region of
Skåne prevail beeches and oaks, and further on the north there
is a greater share of coniferous species. Vast areas of Sweden
occupy the boreal forests of conifers, or taiga. These forests
cover about 2/3 of the country reaching its northern borders.
Pines and spruces grow there. Upland and mountain regions are
covered with birch forests. The upper limit of the forest runs
from 900 m in the south to 300 m to the north.
BELARUSSIAN MARSHY
FORESTS
• Belarus is located on the border of two zones of the
mixed and deciduous forests. The natural formation
of the plants in Belarus are forests, which today
occupy 33% of the country. These are mainly
coniferous forests (68% of the forest area) and
mixed forests. The most common species is the pine
tree, apart from it in the whole country there are
alders and birches. To the north, up to 25% consists
of spruce stand, in the south there is a larger share
of hornbeam and oak.
FINNISH TAIGA
• Finland's forests form 69% of the country, and about 232
550 km of the National Forests are located mainly in the
north of the country, on poor soil peats. In the forests
dominated by pine, pine forests occupy 65% of the forest
area. Finnish pine and birch branches are thinner than
Polish and have more slender stems. Other important
species are spruce and birch which form 24% and 9%.
There are also many poplars and aspens. Other hardwoods
are rare. The most valued is spruce, due to its high
productivity and thickness.
BEECH FOREST IN GERMANY
• Lowland areas are overgrown by monocultures of pine
trees and mountain areas are occupied by spruces.
Forests cover 29% of the country, which is relatively
high if we take into account the high level of
economic development, industrialization, urbanization
and large population (population density is twice
higher than in Poland). In the western part of the
lowland Germany preserved forests of birch, oak and
moors. The lake districts, the highlands and the lower
zones of the mountains are covered with beech
forests and mixed forests.
HUNGARIAN BEECH FORESTS
• The natural vegetation of Hungary is formed by steppes and
oaks occurring in the lowlands and beech forests in the
mountains. As the result of the destruction of the foreststeppe and forest steppe spread (called puszta) of fescue and
Stipa, these areas are currently used as the arable lands and
pastures. Predominant formation of the forests are deciduous
forests. In the mountains preserved the fragments of the
forests of beech, oak and oak and hornbeam. In the higher parts
of the mountains grow mixed forests, where the share of
outside deciduous species is pine. Forests cover 21.5% of the
country.
