Abstract

Climafor je metóda a softvér vo vývoji, ktorý umožňuje porovnanie bilancií uhlíka z dvoch lesníckych trás. Zohľadňuje uhlík sekvestrácia v lese, skladovanie v produktoch z dreva a substitučné efekty spôsobené používaním dreva (materiálu alebo energie). Zohľadňovanie otázky uhlíka v lesnom hospodárstve je vo Francúzsku čoraz dôležitejšie, čo vedie k výskumným a vývojovým projektom. Softvér Climafor reaguje na výzvu: zjednodušiť prístup k výpočtom uhlíka a skrátiť ich časovou náročnosťou. Použité zdroje údajov (výroba tabuľky, výpočtové koeficienty) sú dnes už dobre známe. Climafor ich integruje do jedného nástroja, ktorý si nevyžaduje žiadne špeciálne školenie. Výpočty sú okamžité a výsledky môžu byť použité priamo v lesnom uhlíkovom projekte. Výpočty vykonané softvérom sú založené na výrobných tabuľkách pre každý z nich druhov a rôznych koeficientov z výskumu. Softvér sa bude neustále vylepšovať aktualizáciou rôznych parametrov a pridávaním nových tabuliek. Pre v súčasnosti ho vyvíja IDF (Inštitút rozvoja lesného hospodárstva), pobočka výskumu a vývoja CNPF.

Abstract

Drvna sirovina je u poduzeću Spačva d.d. tijekom procesa proizvodnje u potpunosti iskorištena jer u svakom koraku prerade nastaje jedan finalni proizvod, a dodatno se istražuje i potencijal korištenja pepela kao gnojiva.

Koriste se različiti dijelovi drva:

- kora kao gorivo za kotlovnicu,

- proizvedena toplinska energija koristi se za sušare biomase, sušare za drvo i furnir, parenje trupaca i grijanje stroja za prešanje i industrijskog prostora,

- piljevina i ostaci se koriste za proizvodnju peleta i nekvalitetnih dijelova furnira

- ostaci nakon rezanja furnira, suše se u sušarama i prerađuju u pilani,

- kvalitetniji dijelovi se koriste za izradu podova i vrata, dok se za proizvodnju peleta i briketa koriste nekvalitetni dijelovi i ostaci nakon preciznog rezanja furnira,

- furnir se koristi za proizvodnju gotovih proizvoda,

- elementi iz doradne pilane koriste se za proizvodnju podova i vrata, a njeni ostaci za proizvodnju briketa i peleta.

Na ovaj način organizacije proizvodnje, značajno se povećava učinkovitost korištenja šumskih resursa, a kao rezultat toga, tvrtka je proširila svoju liniju proizvoda, povećala produktivnost, konkurentnost i tržišni udio.

Origin of wood
Abstract

Z izdelavo oken iz odsluženega lesa se zmanjša količina lesa, ki se sicer odlaga na odlagališčih ali sežge. Staremu lesu se podaljša življenjska doba, kar neposredno vpliva na podaljšanje skladiščenja CO2. Opredeljeni so ključni viri starega lesa, razvite tehnološke rešitve za uporabo takega lesa in razviti postopki za izdelavo oken v sodelovanju z raziskovalnimi organizacijami, s poudarkom na analizi onesnaženega lesa, fizikalnih lastnostih lesa in ustrezno površinsko obdelavo takšnih izdelkov. M Sora je razvila prototip lesenega okna ReWin iz odsluženega lesa. ReWin okno je edinstven primer izdelka, ki je bil razvit s ponovno uporabo odsluženega lesa, ki bi sicer končal na odlagališču, in predstavlja povsem svežo idejo in inovacijo na področju stavbnega pohištva.

Les regroupements de forêts communautaires peuvent renforcer l'impact sur la structure de propriété foncière des petites forêts privées et réactiver l'utilisation de la forêt.

Abstract

Une société coopérative forestière (SFC, en allemand Waldgenossenschaft) est un type de propriété forestière privée commune, généralement appelée forêt communautaire. En tant que telle, elle ne doit pas être confondue avec la forêt communale, qui est une forêt appartenant à une commune ou à une ville. Les forêts communautaires existent en Europe depuis des siècles sous de nombreuses formes traditionnelles et ont survécu dans de nombreuses régions jusqu'à aujourd'hui. La principale caractéristique de la forêt communautaire par rapport aux autres formes de propriété forestière est que les propriétaires ne possèdent pas une parcelle particulière d'une zone forestière, mais une part idéale de l'ensemble de la propriété coopérative, qui peut être comprise comme une part de marché boursier (Figure 1).

Basé sur le cadre juridique unique de la loi sur les forêts communautaires GWG de NRW, ce regroupement foncier spécial réalise une fusion légale des forêts communautaires et des propriétaires privés dans une société coopérative forestière plus grande (Waldgenossenschaft) dans le but d'améliorer les conditions de gestion et d'administration des forêts, ce qui va au-delà du réajustement des parcelles par propriétaire unique. Le degré de fusion et les avantages pour la GDF en collaboration sont ainsi renforcés par rapport aux remembrements classiques. Diverses mesures de soutien, telles que la construction de routes, des améliorations sylvicoles ou des interventions paysagères, sont incluses pour générer des impacts durables supplémentaires dans la région. 

Dans le Land de Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie (NRW), les forêts communautaires constituent un important type de propriété forestière. Les forêts communautaires originales étaient basées sur des lois centenaires, qui ont toutes été unifiées et redéfinies en tant que sociétés coopératives forestières (SFC) dans la loi sur les forêts communautaires (Gemeinschaftswaldgesetz, GWG) de 1975. Aujourd'hui, il existe 270 SFC avec environ 42 000 ha et environ 17 500 propriétaires forestiers comme actionnaires. Un aspect spécifique de la GWG de NRW est qu'elle permet une procédure spéciale, basée en partie sur la loi sur le remembrement, pour fusionner plusieurs FCS en un nouveau FCS plus grand afin d'améliorer les conditions de la foresterie et de l'administration. La spécificité est qu'une seule procédure permet non seulement de réajuster la propriété foncière, mais aussi de fusionner la propriété. Une telle procédure combinée peut améliorer encore plus le degré et l'effet du CFL par rapport à un regroupement classique, qui ne réduit essentiellement que le nombre de parcelles de terre, mais pas le nombre de propriétaires.

As consolidações de terras florestais podem melhorar a estrutura fundiária das florestas privadas de pequena escala e reactivar o uso da floresta.

Abstract

Uma sociedade cooperativa florestal (FCS, em alemão Waldgenossenschaft) é um tipo de propriedade florestal privada conjunta, que é geralmente designada por floresta comunitária. Como tal, não deve ser confundida com floresta comunitária, que é floresta propriedade de uma comuna ou de uma cidade. As florestas comunitárias já existem na Europa há séculos em múltiplas formas tradicionais e têm sobrevivido em muitas regiões até hoje. A principal característica das florestas comunitárias em comparação com outras formas de propriedade florestal é que os proprietários não são proprietários de uma determinada parcela de terra de uma área florestal, mas sim uma parte ideal de toda a propriedade cooperativa, que pode ser entendida como uma parte de uma bolsa de valores (Figura 1).

Com base no quadro legal único da Lei Florestal Comunitária GWG da NRW, este emparcelamento especial consegue uma fusão legal de florestas comunitárias e proprietários privados numa sociedade cooperativa florestal maior (Waldgenossenschaft) com o objectivo de melhorar as condições de gestão e administração florestal, o que vai para além do reajustamento de parcelas de terra por único proprietário fundiário. O grau da fusão e os benefícios para a SFM colaborativa são assim melhorados em comparação com as consolidações de terras convencionais. Várias medidas de apoio, tais como construções de estradas, melhorias silvícolas ou intervenções paisagísticas são incluídas para gerar impactos sustentáveis adicionais na região. 

No estado federal da Renânia do Norte-Vestefália (NRW), as florestas comunitárias são um importante tipo de propriedade florestal. As florestas comunitárias originais baseavam-se em leis centenárias, que foram todas unificadas e redefinidas como sociedades cooperativas florestais (FCS) na Lei Florestal Comunitária (Gemeinschaftswaldgesetz, GWG) de 1975. Actualmente existem 270 FCS com cerca de 42.000 ha e um número estimado de 17.500 proprietários florestais como accionistas. Um aspecto específico da NRW GWG é que permite um procedimento especial, baseado em parte na lei de consolidação de terras, para fundir várias FCS numa nova FCS maior para melhorar as condições para a silvicultura e administração. A especificidade é que com um procedimento não só um reajustamento da propriedade fundiária, mas também uma fusão da propriedade é conseguida através de um único procedimento. Tal procedimento combinado pode aumentar ainda mais o grau e efeito da FLC em comparação com uma consolidação convencional, que reduz essencialmente apenas o número de parcelas de terra, mas não o número de proprietários fundiários.

Waldflurbereinigungen können die Besitzerstruktur von Kleinprivatwald verbessern und so die Waldnutzung reaktivieren. Neuordnung von Waldeigentum als Lösungsansatz für die Kleinparzellierung und inaktive Kleinprivatwaldbesitzer.

Abstract

Waldgenossenschaften sind eine Form von gemeinschaftlichem Privatwaldbesitz, der allgemein als Gemeinschaftswald bezeichnet wird. Er ist als solcher nicht mit dem Gemeindewald zu verwechseln, der den Wald im Besitz von Gemeinden oder Städten bezeichnet. Gemeinschaftswälder haben in Europa in vielfältigen traditionellen Formen bereits seit Jahrhunderten existiert und haben vielerorts bis in die heutige Zeit überdauert. Das Hauptmerkmal von Gemeinschaftswald im Vergleich zu anderen Formen von Waldbesitz ist, dass der einzelne Eigentümer kein bestimmtes Grundstück einer Waldfläche besitzt, sondern einen ideellen Anteil am Gemeinschaftsvermögen, was mit einem Aktienbesitz vergleichbar ist (Abb. 1).

Auf der Grundlage des Gemeindewaldgesetzes (GWG) in NRW wird in einer speziellen Flurbereinigung im Interesse einer besseren forstlichen Bewirtschaftung oder einer erleichterten Verwaltung ein rechtlicher Zusammenschluss von Gemeindewäldern und privaten Eigentümern zu einer größeren Waldgenossenschaft erzielt, der über die Neuordnung von Flurstücken pro einzelnem Grundeigentümer hinausgeht. Die Vorteile des Zusammenschlusses und der gemeinschaftlichen Waldbewirtschaftung werden dadurch im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Flurbereinigungen erhöht. Verschiedene flankierende Maßnahmen wie Wegebau, waldbauliche Verbesserungen oder Landschaftseingriffe werden einbezogen, um zusätzliche nachhaltige Effekte für die Waldbewirtschaftung zu erzielen. 

In der Modellregion Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW) sind Gemeinschaftswälder, die aus altrechtlichen Waldgemeinschaften entstanden sind, eine wichtige Waldbesitzform. Im Gemeinschaftswaldgesetz (GWG) von 1975 wurden diese rechtlich als Waldgenossenschaften vereinheitlicht und neu definiert. In NRW existieren heute 270 Waldgenossenschaften mit rund 42 000 ha und geschätzt 17 500 Waldbesitzern als Anteilseignern. Als regionale Besonderheit ermöglicht es das GWG über ein besonderes Verfahren, welches sich teilweise des Flurbereinigungsrechts bedient, mehrere Waldgenossenschaften zu einer neuen, größeren Waldgenossenschaft zusammenzulegen. Die Besonderheit besteht darin, dass in einer solchen Waldflurbereinigung über die Neuordnung der Grundstücksflächen hinaus zugleich eine Zusammenführung der Besitzer erfolgt. Hierdurch kann der Grad und Effekt der Zusammenlegung im Vergleich zu einer herkömmlichen Flächenarrondierung, die im Wesentlichen eine Flächenarrondierung durchführt, aber nicht die Anzahl der Besitzer signifikant reduziert, noch deutlich gesteigert werden.

Forest land consolidations can enhance the land ownership structure of small-scale private forests and reactivate the forest use.
Digital solution
No
Abstract

A forest cooperative society (FCS, in German Waldgenossenschaft) is a type of joint private forest ownership, which is generally termed community forest. As such, it is not to be confused with communal forest, which is forest owned by a commune or a town. Community forests have existed in Europe already for centuries in manifold traditional forms and have survived in many regions until today. The main characteristic of community forest compared to other forms of forest ownership is that the owners do not own a particular land parcel of a forest area, but an ideal share of the whole cooperative property, which can be understood as a share of a stock market (Figure 1).

Based on the unique legal framework of the Community Forest Act GWG of NRW, this special land consolidation achieves a legal merger of community forests and private owners into a larger forest cooperative society (Waldgenossenschaft) for the purpose of improving the conditions for forest management and administration, which goes beyond the readjustment of land parcels per single landowner. The degree of the merger and the benefits for collaborative SFM are thus enhanced compared to conventional land consolidations. Various supporting measures, such as road constructions, silvicultural improvements or landscape interventions are included to generate additional sustainable impacts in the region. 

In the federal state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), community forests are an important forest ownership type. The original community forests were based on century-old laws, which were all unified and redefined as forest cooperative societies (FCS) in the Community Forest Act (Gemeinschaftswaldgesetz, GWG) of 1975. Today there exist 270 FCS with circa 42,000 ha and an estimated 17,500 forest owners as shareholders. A specific aspect of the NRW GWG is that it permits a special procedure, based partly on the land consolidation act, to merge several FCS into a new, larger FCS to improve the conditions for forestry and administration. The specificity is that not only a readjustment of land property, but also a merger of ownership is achieved in one procedure. Such a combined procedure can enhance the degree and effect of the FLC even more compared to a conventional consolidation, which essentially reduces only the number of land parcels, but not the number of landowners.

Abstract

Áreas florestais privadas de pequena dimensão são comuns em Portugal, em particular a norte do rio Tejo. Estas pequenas parcelas de floresta dificultam as atividades de gestão florestal adequadas, levando frequentemente ao aumento de áreas florestais não geridas, do risco de incêndio, de pragas e doenças. Para resolver o problema, a associação de proprietários florestais do Baixo Vouga desenvolveu um programa de agregação de áreas florestais. O programa promove o agrupamento de áreas contíguas com o objetivo de facilitar as operações de gestão florestal promovendo a redução do risco de incêndio, o aumento das áreas bem geridas, o retorno económico e o investimento florestal. Para ser implementado, o programa requer um número mínimo de 5 proprietários com pelo menos 5 propriedades, somando mais de 10 hectares. Segue-se um inventário baseado em GPS e o desenvolvimento do plano de gestão florestal. O investimento e as receitas são distribuídos entre os envolvidos com base em quotas com o objetivo de aumentar o envolvimento, motivação e apreciação de todos os agentes envolvidos. Até à data, já foram agregadas várias áreas envolvendo differentes números de proprietários (exº Panasqueira, Águeda, 15 propriedades de 12 proprietários florestais totalizando 11 mil ha de floresta plantada e gerida sob o mesmo plano de gestão), e outras áreas, com agregações mais ambiciosas, ainda em curso (exº Lavandeira, Vagos, 211 propriedades de 138 proprietários florestais totalizando 73 mil ha).
