Ecological and economic aspects оf the development of ancillary forest use

Abstract

The article analyzes and defines the ecological and economic aspects of the development of secondary forest use, as they are important for the balanced use of forest resources. Secondary forest use refers to the use of forests for the purpose of obtaining additional products between the main activities of forestry, such as firewood, forest fruits, mushrooms, herbs and other non-timber resources. It is substantiated that the minimization of the impact on the forest landscape is a key aspect of the ecological efficiency of secondary forest use. It has been determined and proven that current accounting of resources involves the systematic tracking and assessment of available forest resources, which may include measuring the volume of wood, studying the condition of forest lands, determining the presence and distribution of plants, fungi and other resources, as well as assessing their growth and reproduction.
