Ecological and Economic Modelling of the Forestry Problems of Russia

Abstract

Forests are the most important regulator of greenhouse gas balances, being the depositor of most of the carbon in the world. At the same time, forests perform many other functions that are needed both in terms of preserving the integrity of the planet's ecosystem and in the context of human development. Climate change has become a new global challenge, increasingly perceived by society as a whole and a certain part of the scientific and expert community as a source of undoubted danger to the population and material assets accumulated by mankind over the entire period of development. In this paper, we aim to review the studies conducted to date on the problem of ecological end economic modelling of the forestry considering both climatic and institutional factors of its development. The main outcome of our research is the concept of a future mathematical model of imitational type that will help to deeply understand the interactions between economy and ecology of the Russian forestry.
