Welcome to Forest Data Bank.

Data sources for generating the interactive map

 

State Forests, the State Forests Information System
Spatial layers of digital map with boundaries of: forest compartments, divisions, forest districts, regional directorates of the State Forests, site type subarea, phytosociological map elements.

County Governors’ Offices
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information systems operating in county governor offices or by manual digitalisation of source materials comprising boundaries of: forest compartments, divisions.

National Parks
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information systems operating in national parks or by manual digitalisation of source materials comprising boundaries of: forest compartments, divisions.

General-Directorate of the Environment Protection (GDOŚ)
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information system operating in GDOŚ comprising boundaries of: nature reserves, national parks, Natura 2000 areas.

Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW)
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information system operating in GDOŚ comprising boundaries of: natural regions and mesoregions, forest functional areas, Polish primeval forests.

The Bureau of Forest Seed Production (BNL)
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information system operating in BNL comprising boundaries of: seed regions.

National Water Management (KZGW)
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information system operating in KZGW comprising boundaries of: watershed divides.

National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System Final (NCEP GFS - FNL)
Data base of GFS-FNL comprising meteorological information which has been collected since the year 2000. The data once processeed by the means of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model were used to generate meteorological databases accessible on BDL portal. These are iso-lines showing spatial distribution of mean annual air temperature, mean temperature of growing season, precipitation, precipitation during growing season, length of growing season, length of frost-free period at 2 m and length of frost-free period at 0 m (ground level).

Forest Research Institute
Data provided by the National System of Forest Fire Alarm on the basis of which BDL provides locations of fires in forest areas.

Polish Geological Institute (PIG)
Spatial layers obtained by the conversion from geographic information system operating in PIG comprising boundaries of: geological separations and surface geological forms, natural landscape types, mineral deposits, landslides.

National Register of Boundaries (PRG)
Spatial layers obtained from the National Register of Boundries (PRG) showing boundaries of: provinces, counties and communes.

The Management Board of Voivodeship
