Abstract
Legal and technical documents on the implementation of forest management in the Russian Forest Fund have been analysed. It is established that the current regulatory technical documents do not provide practical forestry, management on a zonal (subzonal) typologic basis. Selected forest areas often combine completely different forest conditions to the areas of forest fund which does not contribute to the forest management optimisation. There are a lot of contradictions and recommendation in the normative and technical documents as concerns mature and over mate stands felling, sanitary felling, improvement felling, forest restoration and forest growing that are not substantiated on factual material. That has resulted in conflicts between forest users and control authorities, reduced efficiency of forestry activities and unjustified financial costs. Elaboration of normative and technical documents is required to improve forest management in protective forests, taking into account their intended purpose. The current recommendation does not take into account the latter and only regulate the relative completeness and composition of stands. Reforestation and afforestation are noteworthy in particular. The requirements for the transition to use when creating forest crops only planting material with a closed root system cannot be considered correct for all regions of the country. Also, specifications on the density of the forest crops created require clarifications as well as correlation artificial and natural reforestation. Relevant is the development of tables of trees attrition having in view the operational appointment of sanitary felling. We believe that improving the regulatory framework for forestry in the forest for various purposes will contribute to increasing their productivity and sustainability.
