Legal Protection of Biodiversity of Forests in Poland
Biodiversity constitutes the special value of all animated nature. It can be described as a variety of life forms with all their changeability at the micro- and macroscopic levels. It is the sumof all genes, species, habitats and natural processes that are the essence of existence on earth.
The paper analyses the legal basis for biodiversity protection under Polish law. Particular attention was paid to the protection of forest biodiversity and the actual effects of this protection. The article illuminates a very formal transposition of the relevant requirements of EU law into Polish law, in particular of those related to the Natura 2000 system. The formal nature of transposition consists in the introduction of legal solutions which, in principle, might comply with the basic requirements of EU law, but the practice of their application, i.e. their former and actual implementation, raises considerable doubts about the practice of applying the rules in due compliance with EU law. This was also indicated by the European Court of Justice in the ruling in the case C-441/17, which is also analysed in the article.

Bei der Bewältigung der Folgen des Klimawandels kommt Bäumen als Kohlenstoffspeicher eine zentrale Bedeutung zu, da sie durch ihre Photosyntheseleistung Kohlenstoff-
Emissionen binden. Nach den Ergebnissen der von der Bundesregierung in Auftrag gegebenen Kohlenstoffinventur waren 2017 in den deutschen Wäldern 1.264 Mio. Tonnen Kohlenstoffgebunden. Da der deutsche Wald jährlich mehr Kohlenstoff bindet, als er freigibt, trägt er maßgeblich zur Bewältigung der Kohlenstoffdioxidbelastung bei.

The forest fulfils a variety of different functions for the environment, for animal and plant species and for people. Safeguarding the diversity of functions, in conjunctionwith sustainability, is the essential principle of forestmanagement and is as such anchored in the state forest laws. In practice, especially the handling of calamities in FFH areas conflicts between nature conservation and forestry.
