The landscape and environmental planning of forestry is the basis for the harmonization of economic, social and environmental interests of society, which are now incredibly aggravated. Signs of a systemic crisis in forestry require the development of a forest management strategy taking into account the main indicator - profitability of forestry and forest management in general.
Plantations of the green zone are exposed to a set of adverse factors of different origin. For the theoretical justification of the planned forestry measures, improvement of quality control of their implementation and analysis of the impact of the work performed on the state of forest ecosystems it is necessary to clarify the concepts and terminology used in the assessment of the state. Quantitative and qualitative methods of assessment, monitoring and forecasting the state of forest biogeocenoses are considered.
The project objectives are to justify modern systems of balanced reproduction and use of forest resources, cyclically and structurally linking the processes of reforestation, forest care and forest use in a single complex; to develop new methods and technologies of sustainable nature management, expanding the integrated and low-waste use of natural resources; characterization and forest effectiveness of promising technologies of primary use, forest care, reforestation; assessment of ecological and biological diversity. The research is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of modern reforestation, tending and forest use methods and technologies; to reveal the structural changes in the forest environment caused by the use of the mentioned technologies and the most perspective nature- and resource-saving technologies of reforestation and forest use; to determine the possible options to optimize the management regime in the forest reforestation-forest use cycle; to develop systems of balanced complex reproduction and use of forest resources.
The theory and methods of organization and management of sustainable forestry in the green zone of St. Petersburg are developed. The methods of determining the boundaries, size and functional zoning of the green zone forests taking into account their impact on the carbon cycle are considered. The structure of multilevel GIS for information support of inventory and sustainable management of green zone forests is proposed.
