    Wood is a limited resource which is exposed to a continuously growing global demand not least because of a politically fostered bioenergy use. One approach to master the challenge to sustainably meet this increasing wood demand is short rotation forestry (SRF). However, SRF is only gradually evolving and it is not fully understood which determinants hamper its expansion. This study provides theoretical insights into economic and environmental determinants of an SRF expansion and their interplay. This assessment requires the incorporation of farmers' decision-making based on an explicit investment appraisal. Therefore, we use an agent-based model to depict the decision- making of profit-maximizing farmers facing the choice between SRF, the cultivation of conventional annual agricultural crops and abstaining from cultivation (fallow land). The land use decisions are influenced by general economic determinants, such as market prices for wood and annual crops, and by site-dependent determinants, such as the environmental site quality. We found that the willingness to pay for SRF-based products and for annual crops most strongly influences the coverage of SRF in the landscape. SRF will in most cases be established on sites with low productivity. However, a decrease in the willingness to pay for annual crops will lead to a reallocation of SRF plantations to sites with higher productivity. Furthermore, our model results indicate that the impact of the distance to processing plants on farmers' decisions strongly depends on general economic determinants and the given spatial structure of the underlying natural landscape. Analysing the relative importance of different determinants of an SRF expansion, this study gives insights into the approach of using SRF to sustainably meet the growing wood demand. Moreover, these insights are taken as a starting point for the design of effective government interventions to promote SRF

    Referat przybli偶a problematyk臋 element贸w architektury informacji zastosowanej w ramach popularnych serwis贸w dedykowanych informacji o jako艣ci powietrza w Polsce (Airly, Powietrze GIOS, aqicn.org, Plume Labs Air Quality Map, Breezometer, European Air Quality Index). Autorka analizuje uk艂ad map i wyst臋powanie narz臋dzi filtruj膮cych, wyniki zastosowanych wobec poszczeg贸lnych stref informacji o jako艣ci powietrza na poszczeg贸lnych obszarach kraju oraz bada ich zr贸偶nicowanie w obr臋bie poszczeg贸lnych platform. We wnioskach pr贸buje udzieli膰 odpowiedzi na pytanie o unifikacj臋 nazewnictwa takich element贸w i struktur臋 ich wyst臋powania (grupowanie w ramach serwisu) oraz ich wp艂yw na przejrzysto艣膰 komunikat贸w dotycz膮cych informacji o jako艣ci powietrza. Otrzymane rezultaty por贸wnuje z mi臋dzynarodowymi wytycznymi znanymi jako WHO Air Quality Guidelines, EU Ambient Air Quality Directives (AAQDs) oraz wytycznymi Eionet (European Environment Information and Observation Network)
