“…In addition, the impact of a future, possibly more variable climate with increased frequency and intensity of precipitation events, more extreme temperatures and droughts on GHG budgets should be considered when implementing forest management policies and practices aiming at enhancing the mitigation potential of forests. Modern science finds more and more evidence that human economic activity, primarily associated with greenhouse gas emissions, is increasingly affecting the climate against the background of its natural variability [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Forests grow, age, burn, are cut down, regenerate, but it is difficult to account for everything.…”

This article discusses the problematic issues of timber harvesting in the Arctic zone of the European part of the Russian Federation, the implementation by entrepreneurs of legislation regulating relations in the field of forestry and other issues related to the topic. Taking into account the diversity of functions of forest ecosystems, it is necessary to differentiate forest management in the main directions: especially protective, protective forestry, climate-protective and exploitation. The whole system of forestry measures should be built on the optimization of forest reproduction, increasing their productivity. The studied forests are located in underdeveloped areas, which have high ripening age, low productivity, development of industries with unfavorable impact on the environment. In this regard, in order to improve forest management, it is necessary to take an integrated approach to the selection of harvesting methods, in addition to the intended purpose of plantations and forest type. Accordingly, adaptation scenarios should be built by selecting the necessary forest management measures and their combinations, taking into account the fundamental principles of forest management.

To protect the forest ecological environment, China implemented the Comprehensive Commercial Logging Ban Policy (CCLBP), yet it has a major impact on forest residents. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the CCLBP from the perspective of the satisfaction of residents. In this study, we used 242 questionnaires from residents in national forest areas in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia to evaluate satisfaction and its influencing factors by factor analysis combined with the entropy method and multiple linear regression, respectively. The results show that: (1) the overall policy satisfaction of residents in national forest areas is 60.9, which is lower than the theoretical neutral value of policy satisfaction. Increasing employment opportunities, transferring surplus employees and developing forest economy are important to improve the satisfaction of residents. (2) Life satisfaction was higher in the high-income group than in the low-income group. Increasing wage income can improve the satisfaction of residents in national forest areas. (3) The satisfaction of the worker group was significantly higher than that of the forest farmer group. Improving job stability and policy equity are important to promote life satisfaction of residents in national forest areas. (4) The satisfaction of the Yichun Forest Industry Group was significantly higher than the Inner Mongolia Forest Group. Natural resource endowment and adaptability to the CCLBP are the main factors affecting the satisfaction of different forest industry groups. At the same time, focusing on the institutional supply of external support policies in order to provide them access to information, employment advice and other services is very significant. This research provides a new approach to studying the CCLBP, which is of great practical significance for raising the wellbeing index of national forest areas.

In many countries, the demand for timber from native trees is increasing due to its beauty and durability but timber logging in natural forests has been prohibited for various reasons. Consequently, plantations of native tree species are increasing in area. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of storage and pre-sowing treatment on seed germination in Prunus arborea (Blume) Kalkman, the timber of which is used for furniture and construction. Four storage treatments (S1, clean seeds stored in a cloth bag under room conditions; S2, clean seeds stored in a cloth bag in a refrigerator at 5°C; S3, clean seeds stored in a cloth bag in a refrigerator at -30°C; and S4, clean seeds stored in wet sand at a nursery) and five pre-sowing treatments (PT1, soaked in normal water for 12 hours; PT2, soaked in normal water for 6 hours; PT3, soaked in 40°C-50°C water for 6 hours; PT4, soaked in 70°C-80°C water for 6 hours; and PT5, no presowing treatment as a control) were tested. The results indicated that seeds in the S2 group retained a germination rate of 54% after 9 months of storage, while seeds in the other groups failed to germinate after 1 month of storage for S3, 3 months of storage for S4, and 6 months of storage for S1. Among the pre-sowing treatment groups, the lowest germination rate was found in PT4 (33.1%), which was half of that in PT1 (60.4%), PT2 (63.9%), PT3 (64.6%), and PT5 (62.8%). These findings indicate that seeds of P. arborea should be stored in a refrigerator at 5°C for less than 9 months and should be soaked in 40°C-50°C water for 6 hours before being sown in a wet sand bed.
