Abstract
The purpose of the research is to analyze the practice of organizing wood harvesting in the East Siberian taiga-permafrost forest area. The methodological basis was the methods of comparative analysis and evaluation, which include the collection and analysis of the main activities of logging production. The East Siberian taiga-permafrost forest area is 112 million hectares, with a total wood reserve of 7240.52 million m3. The forest area is characterized by a low intensity of forest use. The weak development of the road network is noted. A significant part of the wood is harvested when using forests for mining and construction of linear objects. The size of the estimated cutting area during the cutting of ripe and overgrown forest stands amounted to 35447.62 thousand m3, while the volume of the actual used estimated cutting area is 1151.54 thousand m3. It uses an average of 3.2% of the permissible forest use index. The main reserves of business timber, as well as large production facilities for its processing, are concentrated in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – in the Aldan (36.9 million m3), Gorny (291.2 million m3), Lensk (923.7 million m3), Olek-Minsk (1170.8 million m3) forestry, which account for more than 50% of the annual estimated cutting area.
