Analysis of the perceived condition of forests in the Czech Republic

Abstract: A realistic perception of the condition of forests, and the attributes of the forestry sector, by the public constitutes one of the basic prerequisites for successful implementation of forest policy in any country. Although data objectively demonstrate that the condition of Czech forests has improved, opinion polls show a gap between the public perception of the condition of Czech forests and the real status of these forests. The reasons for the discrepancy between reality and the perception of the public, and… Show more

“…Forest stands reduce air pollution, they reduce the maximum air temperatures in the summer, which, in turn, improves the air quality in cities and the thermal well-being of their inhabitants [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. The use of forests for recreation is becoming increasingly important, but it may jeopardise the principle of a sustainable forest yield on which traditional forestry is based [62][63][64]. A balanced approach to both is important, as raw wood production is still the main source of income for most forest owners [65][66][67].…”

“…Better comprehension of how and to what extent different cultural practices in forests can affect their ecological stability under ongoing global climate change will lead to mitigation of climate change [4,5]. Climate change increasingly influences the capacity of forests to provide ecosystem services essential for humans, such as biomass production, regulation of the air quality, and the water regime in the catchment [6,7]. Particularly important effects include so-called indirect impacts of climate change that may increase the frequency of abiotic disturbances (e.g., windstorms, drought, floods, forest fires) and the occurrence and population dynamics of insect pests and fungal diseases [8,9].…”
