Forest characteristics and forest types
Forest is an essential element of our land, fulfilling four major dynamic functions for the benefit of society:
- Economic: wood production. Forest creates many jobs in the sector of wood production and processing (sawmills, paper, panels, etc.);
- Environmental: major source of biodiversity. Forest protects the soil against erosion and has a positive effect on water and air cycles by producing oxygen and absorbing carbon;
- Social: a friendly place for people seeking clean air and open space. Forest has something to offer to everyone: walkers, fishermen, hunters.
- Important for the landscape.
