"To develop requirements for the structure and drafting of afforestation on the reclamated lands; the criteria for assessing the status of afforestation during reclamation of land disturbed by industrial activity to transfer them into the lands of the forest fund"

The technique of assessing the status of afforestation during land reclamation, disturbed by industrial activity was proposed. The method describes the possibility of the selected stages quality assessment: drafting of afforestation, tree species survival period, period of saplings compliance with requirements to the lands occupied with forest stands; as well as the procedure for quality class determination according to formulas hereto. Example of quality class on three stages of afforestation was calculated.

The method can be used at the quality control of the forest resources reproduction (reforestation, afforestation).

"Study of the genetic diversity level and resistance of the man-made forests of pine and spruce, built using seeds with improved genetic properties"

The recommendations on the resistance improvement of the man-made forests of pine and spruce, built using seeds with improved genetic properties haven been developed.

"Development of strategic planning system for forest fire fighting services activity"

The strategic planning system permitting to determine the optimal values of structure, composition and forest fire fighting services modes of work with different technological schemes of their activities was proposed.

The system developed will increase the efficiency of the forest fire fighting services activity at the regional level.

The study results can be recommended to the Federal Forestry Agency of the Russian Federation, the regional authority for forest management, and regional forest fire fighting centers for practical use.

"Development of information-analytical system with respect of the forest fund area distribution per zones of their protection against fires"

The proposed information-analytical system and developed software for the distribution of the forest fund area per zones of forest protection against fires will be one of the optimization basis of the budget appropriation allocated for the operation of fire fighting services in the Russian Federation for information-analytical system with respect of the forest fund area distribution per zones of their protection against fires.

"The valuation method improvement for the forests commodity structure during the National Forests Inventory (NFI) performance"

Recommended practice on the forests commoditization and specification on the territory of the Russian Federation has been developed on the basis of NFI data and recommended practice on the NFI report preparation per territorial entity of the Russian Federation with regard to commoditization and plantations specification. Recommended practice received allows to enhance the application of NFI results with regard to evaluation of green standing timber according to major groups product specification output at the regional level and to go to the elements of the economic valuation of forest resources.

"Assistance rendering on the forest fund area distribution per zones of their protection against fires"

Methodological approach of Federal State-Funded Institution SPbNIILH to the whole forest fund area of the Russian Federation distribution per zones of their protection against fire and its practical significance is shown.

On the basis of the calculation carried out, the distribution of forest fund area per zones of their protection against fires for the Russian Federation constituent units, included in the Federal districts was suggested: Siberian, Ural, Far East, Northwest, Volga, Central, South, North Caucasus and Crimea (in the form of tables and charts).

The results of the study can be recommended for the practical use of the Federal forestry Agency, the Executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation authorized in the field of forest relations, regional forest fire centers.

In addition, for the purpose of research findings in practice introduction the following works were carried out:

• tactics and ways of forest fires fighting exercise using of fast-hardening foam (specialized two-component composition for firefighting SDKP-1) was carried out;
• scientific assessment of the calculation results of the normative number of forest fires preventing and extinguishing means, firefighting equipment concentration points and their location on the territory of forest sites was carried out;
• forest fires command and control System was designed for Sevastopol city;
• regional best practices on the forests chemical care were developed including care for spruce and pine cultures, created planting materials with ball-rooted tree system adapted to the forest sites and climatic conditions of the Komi Republic;
• method of seedlings with ball-rooted system using microclonel reproduced commercially valuable forms of gray poplar (from the collection of long storage in vitro) was developed;
• specimens of universal trays for raised seedlings with ball-rooted system cultivation were designed and manufactured ;
• design solutions and technical parameters, as well as the design of drying cabinets for three types of cones and seeds drying agreed upon with the manufacturer were developed.

It was approbated under production conditions of the development, for which 3 patents were received:

• on the cassette for seedlings with ball-rooted system cultivation;
• on the universal planting device for seedlings with ball-rooted system cultivation;
• on the utility model "Conveyor for seedlings transplanting".
