ArticleProductivity zoning of the taiga ecosystems of the Northern European part of Russia by the blueberry, lingonberry, cranberry and cloudberry merchantable resources

No results found.Since ancient times, wild berries in the North have been considered the most valuable food raw material along with the main food products. The most important food berry resources in the European North of Russia include cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos L.), lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.), blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), cloudberries (Rubus chamaemorus L.). The concept of the carried out research is to ensure the sustainable use of non-wood forest resources to improve the health, food, income, employment, and well-being of the population (SDGs 2, 12, 15). Nowadays the knowledge on the forest berry yielding capacity and related forecasts is in demand with businesses dealing with the use of non-wood raw products, which are of high spatio-temporal variability. Based on the analysis of the available stock materials, general methodological approaches were developed for determining the potential yield capacity by species and combinations of species of berry raw materials in the form of an average annual merchantable stock in kilograms of raw materials per unit area (hectare) for each unit of managed forests (lesnichestvo). It can be used in the planning of forest use for harvesting non-wood forest products. Analysis of spatial information showed that in terms of food berry resources the most productive are the forests of the southern part of the European North of Russia, located in the subzones of the middle and southern taiga. It was revealed that the ecological and biological characteristics of the studied berry species largely determined the localization of areas characterized by their high operational stocks. The main factors, determining the spatial localization of the operational stocks of lingonberry and blueberry, are the landscape features of the territory as well as the level of anthropogenic impact that provides for a high proportion of felling sites of various ages in the lingonberry and blueberry groups of forest types.

ArticleConditions for successful local collective action in mangrove forest management: Some evidence from the Eastern coastal area of south Sulawesi, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Resource management characterized by Common Pool Resources (CPRs) requires collective action for its sustainable management. CPRs with “rivalry” and “non-excludable” features face overexploitation problems because unlike the nature of pure public goods, the use of CPRs by one user will reduce the chances of other users taking advantage of it. This study aims to analyze the most appropriate local institutions and tenure arrangements for sustainable mangrove management in Eastern coast area of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data and information were collected through in-depth interviews involving key informants selected by using snow- ball method and continued by Focus Group Discussion. Design principles for sustainable management of common pool resources from Ostrom has been used in this study as an analytical framework which illustrate the structure of rules established and imposed by the local CPR’s institutions. The findings show that collective action in sustainable mangrove management can be achieved through accepted rules and agreements that are participatory formulated. The agreed norms and rules have enacted as a benchmark for collective action in maintaining mangrove and to enforce sanctions for violators. The success of the community in sustainable mangrove resources management is mainly supported by the existence of several prerequisites that facilitate collective action. It is necessary to strengthen regulations both at the local and higher level through socialization to the community along with the development of incentive and disincentives system.

ArticleForest plantations for wood growing in the European north of Russia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Russian Federation has accumulated quite a lot of experience in plantation forestry. An urgent issue of returning unused agricultural land to economic circulation can be solved by creating plantation crops on these lands, which contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on rational forest management, restoration, afforestation and reforestation (SDGs 2, 12, 15 and GFGs 1 and 2). Research on the creation of targeted forest plantations in the European North of Russia was carried out within the framework of a state assignment. Well-grounded conclusions on the choice of species for targeted plantation cultivation were made. Preference should be given to aboriginal species (Scots pine, European spruce). However, one of the promising fast-growing species suitable for the pulp and paper industry in temperate countries is Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Loud. var. latifolia S. Wats.), naturally growing in North America. Based on long-term research, the most suitable origins of Lodgepole pine were selected – located in regions of the most northern Canadian origin (Yukon), where it grows at the northern limit of the distribution of forest species. The advantage of Lodgepole pine over local coniferous species was revealed while growing on industrial forest plantations, where, by the age of 40-50 years, it forms 250-300 m3/ha of low-resinous wood, suitable for both sulfate and sulfite pulping and is 70% more productive than local spruce and pine. In the research process, the basic requirements for plantation crops in the European North of Russia were developed, under which plantations justify their purpose. One of the main innovative areas of research is the development of technology for creating forest plantations on lands that have come out of agricultural use.
