Improvement of automation process of forest resources renewal using innovative landing material

Abstract

The Russian Federation has vast reserves of forest resources. Our country is the world’s leader in terms of wood reserves (more than 80 billion cubic meters), and it exceeds the USA 2 times, China - 6 times, Sweden - 25 times, Finland - 35 times. Production capacities of the timber industry complex are quite comparable with the oil industry. A serious state policy is needed to create research centers around which the work on the introduction of innovations into production would be concentrated. Budget funds allocated for solving scientific and technical problems of the industry are scattered among scientific organizations to solve minor, private issues, which does not allow solving problems of strategic nature for innovative development of the timber industry complex. On the one hand it ultimately leads to ineffective use of budgetary funds, and on the other, it leads to stagnation of scientific organizations and loss of their scientific potential. The development of the industry will contribute to the use of biotechnology. Russian biotechnological methods are still at the stage of scientific research and are just beginning to be implemented in practice. They are used, for example, when carrying out selection work. Special attention should be paid to the problem of provision of timber industry complex with forest regeneration equipment.
