Zastosowanie modeli ryzyka uszkodzenia drzewostanu przez wiatr do oceny zagrożenia lasów nadleśnictwa

The study presents a risk model for stand damage caused by wind. It is associated with the following groups of factors: the variable characteristics of stand, its permanent characteristics, the position of a forest district in the region of the country, the damage that occurred in the stand in the past. The model generates a risk factor for tree damage ranging from 0 to 3. The higher value it indicates, the higher risk for the stand. The model serves for the assessment of risks to stands in the Cracow Regional Directorate of the State Forests.
