On the issue of logging in the taiga zone

Abstract

Objects of research: forests of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions within the boundaries of the taiga zone. The results of the study are of scientific and practical interest for organizing effective forest management and forest management. Currently, a significant share of clear-cutting occurs in the so-called pioneer development areas (for example, Leshukonsky district of the Arkhangelsk region). In these areas, the approach to forest management must be meaningful and scientifically based in order to prevent deforestation of the areas. Effective use of forests is required by optimizing cutting regimes and parameters, which will allow for intensive forestry with the cultivation of high-quality coniferous wood, ensuring a balance between deforestation and their reproduction with economically valuable species. The goal of the work is to improve the system of forestry activities in the forests of the taiga zone. The basis for the development of assessment indicators for the purpose of felling, their classification in the system of forest use and development, was the scientifically based results of many years of research at stationary objects. For each of the stationary objects, silvicultural requirements and indicators (criteria) were established and developed for the purpose of felling in plantations of different structure, structure, and origin. The status of felling in the classification and in the system of forest use has been established. The results are necessary for the development of forestry development programs in the Russian Federation as part of the implementation of the concept of intensive use and reproduction of forests.
