Creative engineering – introducing the progress of science to forestry

Abstract

Implementing creative engineering, or in other words the progress of science, in forestry practices, requires integration of knowledge from its various branches concerning the impact of human activity on the Earth's ecosystem. In fact, various aspects of development in the forest services are already associated with ecological engineering which practically includes biology, economy, sociology, as well as technical and mechanical construction. Special attention was given to modeling as the most productive method of promoting progress in forest management. In the case of biological engineering in forest ecology for example, various possibilities of applying genetic engineering as a potential future method for increasing productivity as well as the preservation of genetic diversity and protection of the environment are discussed in more detail. Literature recommendations concerning engineering in forestry accessible to the students of Extramural Doctorate Studies at the Forest Research Institute in Sękocin are also enclosed.
