Abstract

Consider in this article, interesting in our opinion, the results of the study and the proposals of scientists in terms of determining the value of land and forest resources using the assessment options for these purposes. When conducting research on the chosen topic, we completely agreed with the opinion of many Russian scientists, said about the need to assess the value of forest lands and forest resources, which is carried out for different purposes. The most relevant for our country are: determination of fees for the use of forest resources; setting fees for obtaining the right to lease or concession of forest fund plots; determination of the effectiveness of forest land use projects and the effectiveness of forest management systems; assessment of environmental damage and the effectiveness of environmental projects, etc. In this article we have shown only part of the proposals, in our opinion, of important assessment factors and their calculations for determining the value of the forest resource in a certain territory of the country’s forest fund. They presented for your consideration a brief algorithm for the integrated assessment of forest resources and sites, compiled from research and analysis of various scientific Russian schools.

Highlights

The simplest way is to estimate a natural resource based on the gross income received from its operation
This approach is biased due to the fact that the income received in the vast majority of cases is the result of the productive forces of nature, and of significant expenditures of living and social labor. This disadvantage is not present in the estimation of a natural resource based on its net income
The most objective is the rent concept, in which rent is determined by the difference between the cost of production obtained during the operation of a given resource, and the cost of its production when using this natural resource

Summary

Introduction

The simplest way is to estimate a natural resource based on the gross income received from its operation. This approach is biased due to the fact that the income received in the vast majority of cases is the result of the productive forces of nature, and of significant expenditures of living and social labor. This disadvantage is not present in the estimation of a natural resource based on its net income. The withdrawal of forest rent by tax ways and methods leads to a negative trend: a decrease in the profitability of logging and wages of industry employees [3,4,5]
