Meet the Forests

    Forests in Świętokrzyskie RegionBecause of moderate, intermediate climate (between oceanic and continental) Poland stand out in Central Europe with the most diverse and the richest forest biocenose. On the country area 2300 vascular plants, 600 mosses, 250 Hepaticopsida, 1600 lichens can be found. In vascular plants group we can find species from various geographical regions, as following: Eurasiatic, North-American, Arctic, Middle-European, West-European, Black-See; even Mediterranean.

In species structure: pine tree (Pinus sylvestris) with sporadically occurring larch covers 70 % of area.

Pinus sylvestris

Larix europaeaAlthough a conifer, the larch is a decidous tree and loses its leaves in the autumn. The shoots are dimorphic, with growth divided into long shoots typically 10–50 centimetres long and bearing several buds, and short shoots only 1–2 mm long with only a single bud. The leaves are needle-like, 2–5 centimetres long, slender (under 1 cm wide). They are borne singly, spirally arranged on the long shoots, and in dense clusters of 20–50 needles on the short shoots. The needles turn yellow and fall in the late autumn, leaving the trees leafless through the winter.

OakQuercus sp.

Oaks have spirally arranged leaves, with lobed margins in many species; some have serrated leaves or entire leaves with smooth margins. Many deciduous species are marcescent, not dropping dead leaves until spring. The flowers are catkins, produced in spring. The fruit is a nut called an acorn, borne in a cup-like structure known as a cupule; each acorn contains one seed (rarely two or three) and takes 6–18 months to mature, depending on species. The live oaks are distinguished for being evergreen, but are not actually a distinct group and instead are dispersed across the genus.

BirchBetula sp.

Birch is a broadleaved deciduous hardwood tree of the genus Betula in the family Betulaceae which also includes alders, hazels and hornbeams and is closely related to the beech/oak family, Fagaceae. The genus Betula contains from 30 to 60 known taxa of which 11 are on the IUCN 2011 Red List of Threatened Species. They are typically rather short-lived pioneer species widespread in the Northern Hemisphere particularly in northern temperate and boreal climates.
