Wpływ typu siedliskowego lasu na koszty odnowienia lasu

The article is a continuation of research on the relationship between forest habitat type and economic aspects of forest management. It assesses the impact of forest habitat types on reforestation costs. As a part of the implementation of the assumed work objectives, economic activities related to afforestation were identified. The research was carried out using the passive experiment method. The research was of registration and observational character. During the acquisition of the necessary data, there was no interference in the forestry work. The costs were analysed in three categories: total costs, tangible costs and intangible costs. Research conducted on the basis of source data obtained from 629 forest plots with a total area of 1100 ha. Based on the results of the research, it was found that the type of forest habitat significantly differentiated all the analyzed costs of reforestation. The forest habitat type differentiated material costs (48%) to a greater extent than intangible costs (43%). In addition, reforestation of deciduous forests has been proven to generate higher forest renewal costs than coniferous forest habitats. The costs of forest regeneration in forest habitats were higher than the costs incurred in coniferous habitats. Information on differences in forest management costs in relation to forest habitats can be used in further research on the forest management support system. The presented research contributes to the development of work on building economic models of the stands. These models must take into account not only the general economic aspects, but also the natural aspects of the forest that affect financial flows related to forest management.
