Target indicators for the development of the forest complex in the context of the Altai Republic municipalities

Abstract

Forest resources play an important role in shaping the natural-territorial complex sustainability. The degradation processes taking place on the territory of the forest resources fund make it necessary to assess the condition, use of forests and develop a set of measures to improve the rational use of the forest resources. The article discusses the reasons for the loss of forest stand in the forestry of the Altai Republic. The main reasons for the degradation of forest resources are identified, among which the most significant are forest fires and the spread of insect pests. Insufficient volumes of sanitary-improving measures also contribute to the increase in the area of weakened stands. It has been shown that since 2007 there has been a steady increase in the area of plantations with impaired and lost stability in the Republic of Altai. And in 2015, the maximum area of forests with impaired stability due to existing of pest harborage area was noted. The target indicators of the development of the forest complex for each forestry are given. The system of balanced indicators is evaluated as a tool for assessing and managing the forest complex.
