“…After the reforms of the national forest management system related to the transition to annual data within the SFR, the "stock-difference" approach was almost totally replaced by the "gain-loss" method [12]. At the same time, a number of Russian experts [14] proposed to include reserve (remote) forests in the category of "managed" (consisting of exploitational and protective forests) and include these data in NIRs [15]. According to their findings, the value of carbon stock in the biomass of the country's forests is expected to increase by 17%, annual absorption by 13%, and the net carbon sequestration of forest biomass in total by 13%.…”

Forest carbon sinks in Russia are an integral part of the national “Low-carbon development strategy”. However, the influence of natural disasters and various land use policies in economic regions (ERs) raises the issue of forest carbon sink efficiency (FCSE). This study adopted a DEA-SBM model that considers undesirable outputs to measure FCSE, and the Malmquist index (MI) approach to analyze total factor productivity (TFP) of forest carbon sinks, using panel data from 2009 to 2021. The results show that the average FCSE was 0.788, with an improvement rate of 21.2%. Scale efficiency is the main factor constraining FCSE in Russia. In twelve ERs, forest carbon sinks are efficient only in the Kaliningrad and West Siberian ERs. In general, forest carbon sinks in Russia are inefficient mainly due to forest fires and other natural disturbances (82.33%); excessive logging activities (38.64%); and lack of carbon absorption capacity (31.70%). The average score of their TFP is 0.970, indicating a decline of 3% over the study period. This is primarily attributed to the decline of 1.6% in technological change. The productivity of forest carbon sinks remained static only in the Kaliningrad ER, while other economic regions performed deterioration trends. Therefore, Russia should enhance the efficiency of forest carbon sinks.

Taiga boreal forests growing in the Northern Hemisphere of our planet have an exceptional function of preserving the carbon balance on a global scale. However, active logging leads to the need for reforestation in these forests, including in areas with soil overwetting. The aim of the study is to model of the movement of the formation on the working surfaces of a forest plow used for the formation of linear microhill. For a theoretical study of the forest plow working process, a formalized mathematical description of the interaction of the plow working surfaces with the soil environment was performed. The research work with the model consisted in the implementation of simulation experiments to simulate the process of creating a linear microhill by a forest plow. According to the results of the research, the regularities of the influence of the contact of the plow bottom surface with the soil during its turnover on the amount of mass moved for lay-down in microhill per unit of time were obtained. Another series of simulation experiments made it possible to estimate the dependence of the crossing profile of microhill on soil moisture, taking into account the approach angle of the spherical disk.

The carbon stock in living forest biomass was quantified based on first-cycle State Forest Inventory (SFI) measurements in permanent sample plots. The total carbon stock in above- and below-ground living biomass was assessed to be 46.9 ±0.4 × 109 tons C and average carbon stock at 52.1 ±0.5 t C ha–1 as of 2020. The State Forest Register (SFR), the primary source of consolidated information on Russia’s forests, estimates the forest growing stock to be 83.1 × 109 m3. The total growing stock volume in the forests, according to the SFI amounted to 113.1 × 109 m3. Owing to the updated and significantly higher growing stock volume, the estimate of carbon stock in living bio-mass is approximately 35% higher than previously reported. The uncertainty of the total and average carbon stocks based on SFI data was substantially lower (approximately ±1%) than that reported in previous studies (±15–30%). Methods of accounting for the carbon stock in living biomass, the results of calculations for forest lands throughout the country, units of the administrative division, and forest zoning were considered. Assessment of living biomass based on representative sampling can substantially improve the relevance and reliability of national forest reporting.
