Description
Summary:This article discusses the problematic issues of timber harvesting in the Arctic zone of the European part of the Russian Federation, the implementation by entrepreneurs of legislation regulating relations in the field of forestry and other issues related to the topic. Taking into account the diversity of functions of forest ecosystems, it is necessary to differentiate forest management in the main directions: especially protective, protective forestry, climate-protective and exploitation. The whole system of forestry measures should be built on the optimization of forest reproduction, increasing their productivity. The studied forests are located in underdeveloped areas, which have high ripening age, low productivity, development of industries with unfavorable impact on the environment. In this regard, in order to improve forest management, it is necessary to take an integrated approach to the selection of harvesting methods, in addition to the intended purpose of plantations and forest type. Accordingly, adaptation scenarios should be built by selecting the necessary forest management measures and their combinations, taking into account the fundamental principles of forest management.
