“…The second is support for afforestation under the 2001 Act on the Allocation of Agricultural Land for Afforestation (hereinafter: Afforestation Act) [36]. The third system is related to funding provided by the European Union (EU) under the Rural Development Plan (2004Plan ( -2006, and then under the Rural Development Programs (RDPs) 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 [28]. In 2004-2020, the following RDPs were implemented in Poland: (1) afforestation measures (RDP 2004-2006, RDP 2007 and RDP 2014-2020);…”

“…Forests dominated the Polish landscape for many centuries [24][25][26][27]. The area of forested land has decreased significantly, mainly as a result of the development of settlements, which has been associated with deforestation of fertile soils and expansion of land used for agriculture, as well as overexploitation of forests due to the high demand for timber [28]. Poland's forest cover at the end of the 18th century stood at about 37% and declined to about 23.1% in 1918, and to 22.2% in 1939.…”

The study is part of the trend of searching for research methods to demonstrate changes in forest cover at the level of basic units of public administration with greater precision and accuracy. The purpose of the article is to present, for the first time, changes in forest cover of municipalities in Poland from 1990 to 2018 using CORINE Land Cover (CLC) data. The contributions of this study are threefold. Firstly, using GIS and CLC data (3.1. Forests), multivariate analyses of forest cover changes were carried out for 2481 municipalities for the CLC data collection years (1990, 2000, 2006, 2012, 2018), which showed the temporal and spatial dynamics of changes, with a predominance of deforestation in 1990–2000 and 2012–2018, and afforestation in 2000–2006 and 2006–2012. Secondly, the formal, legal and financial rationale for these changes was indicated. The increase in afforestation was a result of financial incentives under the National Program for Increasing Forest Cover and the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (under Rural Development Programs—RDPs). Deforestation was related to a decrease in the supply of land for afforestation, the competitiveness of subsidies implemented under RDPs, and statutory liberalization of logging. Thirdly, the main discrepancies between the data obtained from CLC and from the public data collected by Statistics Poland (GUS) and the State Forests were indicated, which ranged from −32 kha to +310 kha, corresponding to percentage differences of 2.3% and 1.8%, respectively. This was mainly influenced by the differences in the complexity and updating of data collected for state and private forests, as well as delays in introducing changes to the land register by the public administration. This work contributes significantly to our understanding of the dynamics of forest cover changes in relation to the actual degree of forestation and deforestation, and the determinants of forest transformation in Polish municipalities, as well as demonstrating the new applicability of CLC data and their limitations related mainly to the generalization of forest cover area.

“…Przedstawiono także rolę dofinansowania zalesień, łącząc je ze zmianami w użytkowaniu gruntów rolniczych, migracją wewnętrzną w regionie oraz możliwościami pracy poza rolnictwem. Wcześniejsze opracowania ograniczały tematykę jedynie do zmian lesistości obszarów wiejskich [Polna 2017]. Aby połączyć obserwacje zmian w użytkowaniu ziemi oraz zjawisko migracji wewnętrznych skupiono się na analizie wydzielonych powiatów, tj.…”

“…Stopień lesistości w Polsce jest niższy niż średnia w Europie, lecz udział lasów rożni się w układzie regionalnym [Polna 2017]. Główne kompleksy leśne w województwie podlaskim znajdują się w północno-wschodniej części regionu.…”

Celem analizy było zbadanie związku między wzrostem lesistości a gruntami rolnymi w latach 2010-2015 oraz korelacją pomiędzy lesistością a migracją wewnętrzną mieszkańców poszukujących zatrudnienia poza rolnictwem (m.in. przez rejestrację mikroprzedsiębiorstw) na przykładzie województwa podlaskiego. Zastosowano metodę opisową, którą poszerzono o wyliczenie współczynnika korelacji Pearson'a dla zbadania kluczowych współzależności. Obliczone współczynniki korelacji sugerują silne powiązanie wielkości środków UE z wielkością obszarów zalesionym w trzech wydzielonych powiatach -Białystok, Łomża, Suwałki. Ponadto, stwierdzono wysoką korelację między migracją wewnętrzną a działalnością przedsiębiorców odzwierciedloną w liczbie zarejestrowanych podmiotów gospodarczych w powiatach białostockim i łomżyńskim oraz przeciętnych powiązań w przypadku powiatu suwalskiego. Na transfer użytków rolnych pod zalesiania ma wpływ lokalny rozwój infrastruktury technicznej, np. budowa dróg w powiecie suwalskim i oddziaływuje na uzyskane współczynniki korelacji.

“…The change in forest area is most often associated with the development of both tourist infrastructure as well as the tourist and recreational function of forests. Taking into consideration the subject of this study, the works on the changes in the forest cover in Poland [Nyrek 1997, Ciesielska and Ciesielski 2017, Polna 2017, Falencka-Jabłońska 2017], specific types of landscape [Grzywacz 2002, Polna 2017 or selected regions [Szymura et al 2010, Kunz 2012, Gorajska 2014] seem particularly important. The issues related to deforestation and afforestation [Fonder 2002, Sulewski 2018 as well as the spatial and organizational aspects of shaping the country's forest cover are also of great significance [Łonkiewicz 1994[Łonkiewicz , Fonder 2002.…”

The seaside area is one of the most forested in the country. At the same time, the forests in the coastal zone are exposed to a strong anthropogenic pressure due to a high concentration of tourism development and tourism. The aim of the study was to analyze the changes in the forest area availability of the coastal tourist municipalities of the Baltic Sea Coast in connection with the changes in the area of tourism development and tourism in this area. The analysis was conducted in dynamic terms, taking into account the years 2000-2016. In this study, all the communes that directly border the Baltic Sea were taken into account as seaside communes. The statistical data of the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office were used as the source material for the implementation of the research problem addressing: the changes in the area of total forests in all coastal communes of the Baltic Sea Coast in 2000-2016, the changes in the area and population of communes, and selected data on the tourist function of the coastal communes including the data on the number of facilities and beds as well as the number of tourists visiting the coastal communes of the Baltic Sea Coast between 2000-2016. In the coastal communes, in the years 2000-2016, the forest cover index increased from 23.3 to 24.1%. Since 2000, the forest area per 1 inhabitant increased from 1741 m 2 to 2149 m 2. The increase in the forest area and average forest area per capita occurred mainly in the rural communes, large communes with the highest forest cover indicators, in the urban communes while in the communes with a strongly developed tourism function, there was an opposite tendency. The increase in the tourism load on the forest areas and decrease in the availability of forests for tourists in the municipalities and communes with the largest tourist investment (Kołobrzeg, Międzyzdroje, Władysławowo) is observed. The anthropogenic pressure and the availability of forest decreases in communes with lower population and the marginal role of tourism in their socioeconomic development (Choczewo, Trzebiatów, Smołdzino, Kamień Pomorski).
