The settlement established under German law in Chełmno Land in the 13th century, the resultant changes in the structure of agriculture and land cultivation techniques, and the growing demand on wood as timber, fuel and raw materials for crafts, all combined to contribute to the significant deforestation of the territory. The extent of this deforestation remains conjectural. The purpose in creating a model of forest area in 13th-century Chełmno Land was to attempt to reconstruct it and determine its size and, consequently, to verify hypotheses concerning the scale and the ultimate end of deforestation in the research area. The spatial model is based on published historical and archaeological data relating to selected components of the geographical environment that pertain to the forest area. A retrogressive method combined with Multi-Criterion Evaluation (MCE) was used to build a forest area model. The basic platform for collecting, analysing and visualising spatial data was the geographic information system (GIS). The presented estimates indicate that the forest area of Chełmno Land in the 13th century was larger than had previously been assumed, at about 20–25% of the entire territory.

Artykuł przedstawia zmiany lesistości w Polsce w latach 2002— —2014 w różnych przekrojach terytorialnych. Analizę przeprowadzono na podstawie danych GUS o powierzchni gruntów leśnych oraz o ludności i zmianach w podziale administracyjnym, które porównano w odniesieniu do województw, gmin oraz aglomeracji miejskich. W badanym okresie powierzchnia gruntów leśnych zwiększyła się o 290 tys. ha, co oznacza wzrost lesistości o 0,9 p.proc. w całym kraju. Wzrosła również powierzchnia leśna na 1000 mieszkańców (średnio w Polsce o 5,7 ha). Różnice w kształtowaniu się obu wskaźników najmocniej uwidoczniły się na poziomie gmin.

The aim of the article is to present changes in forest cover within 2002—2014 in different territorial profiles. The analysis was conducted on the basis of CSO data concerning forest land, population and changes in administrative division, which were compared in relation to gminas, voivodships and urban agglomerations. The results indicate an increase in forest land area by 290000 ha in the period analysed, which implies an increase in the forest cover indicator by 0.9% across the country. The forest area per 1000 inhabitants also increased (on average by 5.7 ha in Poland). The differences in both indicators were the most visible at a lower territorial level.
