Detailing the results of the assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of delegated powers in the field of forest relations: a resource-economic approach.

Relevance . The article considers the problem of assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of delegated powers in the field of forest relations using a resource-based economic approach. The authors analyze the key aspects of the use of forest resources. The study identifies the main problems and offers recommendations for optimizing the processes of forestry organization to increase the efficiency of resource use. The necessity of a differentiated approach to assessment, which takes into account the specifics of forestry, is substantiated. The purpose is to study and analyze the factors and circumstances influencing the assessment of delegated powers in the resource and economic potential of the subjects of the sparsely wooded zone of the Central Federal District. Objectives : to formulate regulations and identify priority areas for complementing the methods for assessing the effectiveness of using forest resources in a sparsely wooded area. Methodology . The study used the official statistical reference books of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, materials from web resources (official portals), publications of periodicals and conditional periodicals. Results . The forest-deficient regions of the Central Federal District (Voronezh, Lipetsk and Tambov regions) are characterized by a low level of forest cover and predominantly protected forests, which limits their commercial use. The study substantiates the need to increase forest plantations, intensify recreational and protective forest management, as well as create and reconstruct agroforestry facilities. The use of neural network tools for modeling the rational allocation of economic entities and the development of regional economic space is proposed, which will increase the efficiency of using forest resources. The problems of transfer of powers in the field of forest relations are considered and criteria for increasing the accuracy of assessing their effectiveness are proposed. Conclusions. The sparsely wooded regions of the Central Federal District require an increase in forest plantations, the development of recreational and protective forest management, as well as the optimization of agroforestry systems. The use of neural network models is proposed for effective management of forest resources. It is important to adapt the mechanisms of transfer of forest authority, taking into account regional specifics. The implementation of these measures will enhance the environmental and socio-economic sustainability of the Territories.
