Forest cover in territorial profiles in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present changes in forest cover within 2002—2014 in different territorial profiles. The analysis was conducted on the basis of CSO data concerning forest land, population and changes in administrative division, which were compared in relation to gminas, voivodships and urban agglomerations. The results indicate an increase in forest land area by 290000 ha in the period analysed, which implies an increase in the forest cover indicator by 0.9% across the country. The forest area per 1000 inhabitants also increased (on average by 5.7 ha in Poland). The differences in both indicators were the most visible at a lower territorial level.
