The environmental changes that have occurred on our globe in the last few hundred years affect practically every element of the environment. One of the main elements of this matrix is forest areas. A key aspect of describing the transformation period in forest management is to illustrate the long-term consequences of the environmental changes which humans have caused and continue to cause. The objective of our study is not only to discuss the interactions and changes occurring in the genetic resources of the primary forest-forming species in Polish forests but, more importantly, to demonstrate how past decisions can influence events in the near or distant future. In the context of forest research, it is essential to clarify that the lifespan of a tree has no relation to the lifespan of a human being. This simple fact not only influences the life cycle of individual stands and the mechanisms of timber mass production but, above all, highlights that we are hostage to the decisions (and knowledge) of our ancestors, who managed the forests according to the ideas of the Enlightenment. In this essay, we emphasize an element we believe is underrepresented in the discourse on forest transformations in the 19th and 20th centuries: forest genetic resources, which are fundamental to the resilience and adaptation of managed forests in response to ongoing climate change.

Book cover of The Conquest of Nature: Water and Landscape in Modern Germany by David Blackbourn, with a painting showing a flooded landscape with forested islands emerging from water.
For my river history (re)readings I recently completed The Conquest of Nature by David Blackburn, a widely cited 2006 #envhist book I first read in 2012.
It tells the history of German rivers and landscape engineering from the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth. 1/🧵

@donald-tusk.bsky.social przekaże @ncngovpl.bsky.social 500mln zł w obligacjach.Brawo! To świetna decyzja :)
Głos naukowców jest słyszalny, lobbing za finansowaniem nauki ma sens.
Ale, co ważne, to jednorazowa dosypka, więc teraz kolej na stałe zwiększenie pieniędzy dla NCN!
