COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT TOOLKIT TYPES OF MULTIPURPOSE FOREST MANAGEMENT

The article is devoted to the study of methodological aspects of assessing the compatibility of types of multipurpose forest management. The author, based on the provisions that the key factor limiting multipurpose forest use in Russia is the mutually exclusive nature of forest use, proposed a methodological approach to substantiating the prospects for combining two or more types of forest use using the example of forest-deficit regions of Russia. The principles of developing methodological tools (temporary inconsistency, territorial limitation) were formed, which made it possible to introduce the category "priority type of forest use" and justify the feasibility of multipurpose forest use not within the forest plot, but by 1 hectare. A toolkit for assessing the effectiveness of multipurpose forest management has been developed, including a list of restrictions on types of forest use in forest-deficient regions of Russia, criteria for compatibility of forest use and a mathematical model, where the main criterion for optimality and priority of forest use is the maximization of state income. Taking into account the specifics of forest-deficit regions of Russia, a matrix of compatibility of forest use types has been developed, which makes it possible to determine the possibility of combining three or more types of forest use, and an algorithm for combining forest use types, which includes six cycles: determining the types of forest use that can be implemented within a geographical zone; identification of limitations of unique forest management; combination of possible types of forest management; identification of a priority type of forest management; identification of effective types of multipurpose forest management recommended for implementation.
