Assessment of the Development Potential of Forestry Enterprises of the Republic of Bashkortostan
Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The high level of power supply and technical provision of logging, along with advanced technologies, ensure the enterpriseâs competitiveness. The current state of facilities and resources at forestry institutions in the regions is, as a rule, unsatisfactory. Significant engineering and technological backwardness of facilities and resources is due to the specifics of the modern structure of the forest sector. With the purpose of ensuring the production effectiveness of forestry institutions in the regions on the basis of increasing the level of power supply and technical provision for logging, it is necessary to carry out appropriate research. The methods for assessing the forest as an ecosystem are a relevant area of theoretical and applied research. There are 3 basic methods used in world and Russian practice in the assessment of natural resources: comparative, cost, and income. The methodology of cost estimate for natural resources provides a flexible system of indices, which allow assessing natural resources depending on the amount of available information and practical purposes. In terms of spatial economics we propose to develop a pilot project to improve the efficiency of production in the state autonomous forestry institutions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The project is intended to provide practical guidance on the allocation of 2â3 groups of forestry institutions. We used an expert approach to assess the rating of forestries. Our earlier estimates for forestry enterprises in the Republic of Bashkortostan (state autonomous institutions) were used as the basis for it. The values of quantitative criteria include expert estimates and statistical information from numerous sources, such as reports, handbooks, results of surveys, interviews, etc. The criteria were divided into 2 groups: quantitative (availability of logging equipment, transport accessibility, calculated logging area) and qualitative (state of the logging equipment, repair depot, and management structure). According to the results of the integral assessment, the forestries are divided into 4 groups. Based on the assessment performed, it is advisable to identify the points of growth in the pilot project of modernization the facilities and resources of forestry enterprises.

Physical and Chemical Soil Properties of Mangrove Forests in Vietnam
Recently the area of mangrove (evergreen) forests growing along the coast of Vietnam has been significantly increased by artificial afforestation under the recognition of their ecological role and economic importance. Pr...
The Engineering Calculation of Flexible Shells of Timber-Rafting Anchors
Currently, the issue of delivering wood raw materials from remote forest areas, where the largest volumes are located, is relevant. Often, this delivery is economically justified only when using a network of medium and s...
Assessment of the Sequestration Potential of the Aspen-Birch Stands in the Insular Forest-Steppes of Central Siberia
The forest-steppes of Central Siberia occupying submontane troughs and intermountain basins separated by taiga vegetation are considered insular. Forest woody vegetation is mainly represented by birch, aspen, larch and p...
Remote Monitoring of State Forest Shelterbelts in the Steppe Zone of European Russia
State forest shelterbelts are not only one of the components of the ecological framework of sparsely forested steppe territories, but also represent a unique object of steppe afforestation. Age-related changes and a long...
