Optimization of species and age structure of forests
Purpose: optimization of the species and age structure of forests of forestry institutions to increase forest productivity, the size of forest use and forestry income
Brief description: electronic soil maps, optimal species and age structure of forests, programs for the transition of forestry to an optimal structure of forests
Advantages: products comply with world standards, competitive and environmentally friendly
Development stage: pilot production work was carried out in the forestry enterprises of the republic to develop new products
Technical and economic results of implementation: increasing the economic potential of forest resources of forestry enterprises by 10-20%, improving the species structure of forests (the share of coniferous and hard-leaved forests – 80% of the forest-covered area), leveling the age structure of forests (15% of mature stands), improving the qualitative composition of the cutting background and timber market (80% of coniferous and hardwood industrial assortments), increase in annual forestry income by 2030 from the sale of timber for 100-200 billion. RUB / year
Cooperation proposals: search for investors for investments in forestry for the implementation of programs for the transition of forestry to the optimal species and age structure of forests (felling and reconstruction of birch plantations with their replacement with pine forests, sale of birch timber, reforestation)
Significance for the Republic of Belarus: scientific and technical products are competitive and environmentally friendly and will ensure an increase in the annual amount of forest use by 2050. by 10 million m3, as well as improving the quality of the logging fund and forest products
