  • 2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment
    2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment Ukraine has high potential navigable rivers - over 4 thousand km: there are traditional waterways Dnipro - 1,205 km and its tributaries (Desna- 520 km, Pripyat - 60 km) and Dunay - 160 km, Bug - 155 km, and other so-called small rivers. Dnipro River and its major tributaries Desna and Pripyat carried out to 90% of total transport. The remaining 10% are Dunai and other rivers (Desna, Dniester, Southern Bug, Seversky Donets, Ingulets, Vorskla, etc.). Since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, length of river waterways decreased almost twice (from 4 thousand. Km to 2.1 thousand. Km). At the same time the density of river shipping routes reduced 1.75 times; intensity of freight transport - in 4,3 times, and passenger transportation - 7.5 times The volume of traffic fellt to 60 mln. MT in 1990 to 12 mln. MT in 2006, and then - to 5 mln. MT in 2014. Over the past two or three years, inland waterway transportation is only 0.2 - 0.8% of all the cargo traffic. The main categories of goods that are transported via inland waterway – agricultural products (mainly grain), metal products, chemicals. Company Information Only few companies operate on rivers. First, it is a private company "Ukrrichflot" http://ukrrichflot.ua/en/ , declares the presence of about 100 vessels of various types and their ports and other elements of the port infrastructure. The second important market player - Agrocorporation "NIBULON" http://www. nibulon.com/ . The company owns a private fleet and private river terminals. Dnipropetrovsk River

  • Forestry in Poland with Special Attention to the Region of the Pomeranian Young Moraine
    AFSV Forstwirtschaft und Standortkartierung Waldoekologie online Heft 2 Seite 49 - 58 9 Fig., 2 Tab. Freising, Oktober 2005 Forestry in Poland with special attention to the region of the Pomeranian Young Moraine Marcin S z y d l a r s k i Abstract In the year 2004 the ASFV celebrated its 50th anniversary holding a conference in Sulęczyno, Kartuzy. This event offered the possibility to give an actual overview of forest resources and forest functions in Poland. The excursions of the meeting focused on the fascinating, diversified forest landscape formed by the Pomeranian phase of the Baltic glaciation. The Kartuzy Forest District is situated in the heart of the Kashubian Lakeland and the moraine hills. The landscape is not only characterized by the natural occurrence of Baltic beech forests but also by high diversity of soils and meso- and microclimatic de- viations providing habitats for rare plant species, including some plants typical of mountain regions. The tree species combination of the District is formed by pine, spruce, and beech. The oldest parts of the forests are legally protected as nature reserves. I. POLISH FOREST RESOURCES At the end of the 18th century the Polish forest area comprised about 40%, nowadays forests in Po- land cover approximately 8,942,000 hectares, which is 28.6% of an overall country area. According to international standards (FAO Forestry Department) and tests on economic forestry areas, the wooded area in Poland comprises more than 9,040,000 hectares, which is as many as 30% forest cover and is close to Central European average (www.fao.org/forestry/site/18308/en/pol).
