Large portion of the study deal with the problems of silviculture, protection and ecology of forest. The data are gathered both in permanent and temporary observation plots or transects. A lot of forest research plots have been established in national parks and nature reserves. The oldest permanent experimental plots are, e.g. located in Bialowieza National Park (BERNADZKI et al. 1997) and in Jata forest reserve. The scientific study in forest is being conducted by the staff of branch institutes, universities and Forestry Faculties of Agricultural Universities. In the organizational framework of the Forest Research Institute, a special office: the Department of Natural
COST Action E4: Forest Reserves Research Network 63 Forests with its headquarters in Bialowieza, has been operating. In Polish Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Nature Protection in Krakow has been active. A very interesting comprehensive study project has been lately carried out under the auspices of the GEF Grant on the area of the Bialowieza Primeval Forest (PASCHALIS & ZAJACZKOWSKI 1996). For a few years now, scientific study has also been carried out by the staff of national parks. The output results of many research projects are utilised while preparing the plans of protection of national parks and nature reserves. PROGNOSIS OF NATURE PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT IN FORESTS The prognoses of further development of nature protection in Poland include, e.g. a more explicit learning and more efficient protection of our national natural richness, covering new objects with legal protection and tutoring society in the field of nature protection and rational utilisation of our natural resources. The prognoses include, also, forests. It is planned in Poland that another three national parks will be created within the next few years and a number of new reserves, out of which 726 objects are to be located on the area of State Forests (WROBEL 1997). A substantial increase in our knowledge is expected to be fact following the practice gained in the course of accomplishing the programs of nature protection for the managed forest. SUMMARY The presented in this paper, outline of nature protection problems in Poland as well as the general information on natural forest, cover exclusively selected topics of a statistical and information character. A lot of detailed data considering the nature protection in forest ecosystems can be found in publications of the Institute of Nature Protection of Polish Academy of Sciences, the Forest Research Institute and in a periodical ‘National Parks and Nature Reserves’ published by the country-wide Board of National Parks.
