ISSUES OF FORESTLAND EVALUATION IN RUSSIA
The problem of forestland cadastral evaluation in Russia is under review in this paper. This land category occupies enormous part of country’s area in comparison to other categories. Nowadays, there is no unite method for forestland cadastral evaluation, so every evaluation organization uses their own simple methods. They don’t take soils quality and forest inventory data into consideration. Evaluation is taken only for one forest exploitation type - it is timber harvesting. Non-wood and side forest products are not taken into account. Moreover, environmental amenities of forest stands are also not used for calculations. Authors found out the reasons of modern evaluation methods non-existence and propose their own approach to this issue solution.
