The Swiss forest and its biodiversity: LiDAR allows for novel forest structure assessments Availability of comprehensive biodiversity maps and standlevel habitat management recommendations to forest services is often limited, despite the need for such information for multifunctional forestry. Here, we combined forest structural parameters derived from nation-wide available Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data with parameters describing climate, topography and soil pH, to analyse and spatially predict the species richness of different taxa on two different scales. Vascular plants, bryophytes and land snails were analysed on the stand scale (900 m2), where we also identified target variables for habitat management by using data from the National Forest Inventory. On the landscape scale (1 km2), we analysed vascular plants, butterflies and breeding birds with a tight association to forests. LiDAR-derived forest structure parameters were consistently important predictors of species richness across taxa. Species richness patterns tended to be taxon-specific with low spatial congruence across taxa. The habitat quality for many forest land snail species, for example, increased with increasing proportions of trees from the genera Fraxinus, Tilia, Ulmus and Acer, or with increasing overstory cover and deadwood volume. Many butterfly species, on the other hand, responded positively to a heterogeneous understory. This study shows that important structural parameters for forest biodiversity can be derived area-wide and across large regions by using LiDAR. The growing availability of LiDAR data thus provides very useful information for conserving and promoting biodiversity in multifunctional forestry.

This paper explores the ecosystem services associated with woodlands, as they are viewed by individuals in Scotland, with the idea to reconcile objectives for multifunctionality with the legacy of past forestry systems that were not designed with multifunctionality in mind. Research follows a semi-qualitative route and applies the Q method to identify and explain a range of attitudes among the general public and forestry-associated stakeholders regarding the functional future of forestry in Scotland. Four distinctive groups of attitudes were identified and key factors influencing the attitudinal diversity were explained. Despite the uncovered attitudinal heterogeneity, all groups of attitudes have strong emphasis on native woodland regeneration and on improvement of aesthetic values of woodlands but differ concerning afforestation. An improved understanding of what people think provided an indication of their recognition of ecosystem services types and the trade-offs between these, opportunities available, and factors that can hamper forestry development (e.g., concerning the aspiration of increasing Scotland’s forest cover to 25%). Findings suggest that the productivists’ position (for which the economic objectives are important) remains strong in Scotland. Results (compared with those in several other countries) demonstrate comparability between public and stakeholder perspectives in support of the multifunctional forestry, and this has distinct policy relevance and implications for decision-making.

Multifunctional Forestry

 Financial means for multifunctional forestry activities come from different public sources, both national and international ones. There are several basic types of financial instruments used for the supporting of non-market forest services, both direct and indirect ones. Financial means should be accounted and treated separately by their different social and economic essence, as proper subsidies, compensations and payments for services. Financial means going to forestry are generally considered as subsidies in the Czech Republic (CR). But overall it can be stated that only a small part of the financial sources going to forestry via the Ministry of Agriculture is real subsidies. Out of the annual average of 657 million CZK of financial sources going to forestry through the mediation of the Ministry of Agriculture, indicated officially as subsidies, only 279 million CZK (42.5%) were real subsidies flowing into forestry in the period 2004–2009.

The benefits of local recreation in the State-owned forests in Austria (i.e., about 15% of all Austrian forests) are ascertained in this paper. A representative survey of households dealt with their local recreation, perceptions of and disturbances in forests. Total annual benefits of local recreation activities in State-owned forests, such as walking, hiking, cycling and wildlife observation, amount to about EUR 500 per person. Based on the respondents’ valuation of the degree of naturalness and quietude, as well as the options of forest management, the current management increases recreation benefits by EUR 13 per person through increased naturalness, and EUR 1.30 per person and year through increased quietude. Emphasis was placed on the benefits of the current management regime of multifunctional forestry compared to the benefits of a baseline scenario that was drafted specifically for this study, assuming higher levels of lumbering up to the limits allowed by existing nature conservation and forestry laws. The results suggest that forest management has a higher impact on recreational benefits through the naturalness of forests than through reducing artificial noise. A more sustainable forest management could further increase the benefits people derive from both naturalness and lower levels of artificial noise.

Abstract This article is an attempt to draw attention to the differentiation used to conserve endangered and protected species of flora in an area that is administered by the management board of the State Forests. I also draw attention to areas of insufficient knowledge of this subject-matter. A detailed inventory of endangered and protected species of flora for the purpose of planning in forestry would be very useful in light of laws related to nature conservation and the problem of preserving biological diversity. Research in the forest administration region of Sokołowice indicates that almost 2/3 (65.16%) of all sites harbouring endangered and protected species of flora are new (previously undocumented), despite the existence of numerous protected areas – this fact indicates that there are great research possibilities in this field. The main conclusion from this research confirms that multifunctional forestry in Poland will provide the greatest opportunity to preserve the widespread and numerous sites holding endangered and protected species of flora in economically important forests.

A new layout of a multifunctional logging machine, created on the basis of the Amkodor 2631 forwarder by retrofitting its trailer with a caterpillar mechanism, is considered. A diagram of the designed layout of a multifunctional forestry machine is presented. Preliminary calculation of the optimal contact patch of the retrofitted module of the designed machine layout is presented. The description of possible technical solutions during its operation is stated. The proposed layout allows you to expand the technical and operational indicators of the forestry machine.
