Abstract
The authors elaborate a methodology for the identification of successional vegetation stages in areas cleared for timber in the northern forests of the USSR and for forecasting possible variants of their evolution. The technique was tested using 1:200,000-scale space imagery, 1:15,000-scale aerial photography, and coordinated ground studies along a 5 X 15 km transect encompassing a variety of climax and successional plant communities in an area of commercial timber operations. Maps of successional communities emerging under different natural conditions within the experiment study area are presented. Translated by Larry Richardson, Glendale, CA 91202 from: L. N.
