Abstract
In the forests of Ukraine, forestry should be carried out on the principles of continuous and rational use of forests through integrated usage of their resources. Thus, there is a need to distinguish and correctly understand the forestry terms. To harmonize terminology, relevant regulations, as well as Ukrainian and foreign literature, were examined. General scientific theoretical methods – analysis and synthesis – were applied to work with information sources. The paper substantiats the employment and understanding of terminology related to the usage of forest resources. The definition and interpretation of the terms “secondary forest use”, “non-tree forest resources”, “non-timber forest resources” in current legislative and regulatory acts, the explanatory dictionary of the Ukrainian language, the state standard of Ukraine, the Ukrainian encyclopedia of forestry, Ukrainian and foreign forestry literature were summarized. The authors proposes to divide forest resources into woody, non-tree, and non-timber ones, followed by coordination of such classification among forestry scientists and practitioners. The largest volumes of harvesting among secondary forest materials and secondary forest uses for 2010-2020 were established. The distribution of income received according to types of non-timber products of the forest and in the context of regional departments of forestry and hunting for 2021 was analysed. The paper presents the types of wild fruit, medicinal plants and mushrooms common in Ukraine. Promising species for plantation cultivation were proposed. Areas of obtaining added income from the sale of non-timber products of forests were generalized. The analysis and prospects of using non-timber forest products, which can serve as a theoretical and practical basis for sustainable management of multifunctional forestry in Ukraine, were presented. The obtained results can be used for harvesting non-timber products of forests, considering the regional characteristics of the country
