“…It is known that plantation growing is oriented at the quickened production and involves high level of using selected planting material, intensive agricultural technology, silvicultural attendance and amelioration (Marris, 2009). With that, for establishing plantations, large amounts of plantation material of quick-growing woody plants are needed.…”

In this article the mechanisms of biotechnologies support in the forest sector are viewed. Forest biotechnology has big perspectives in Russia, allowing fulfilling various socio-economic tasks -from creation of new medicinal drugs to new technologies of growing forests and improving the ecology of forest ecosystems.It has been established that methods of innovational biotechnologies in forest-based sector are at the stage of scientific research of sectorial scientific and research organizations. In order to successfully implement biotechnologies in forestry, support and greater attention from the government are needed.One of the mechanisms of supporting forest biotechnologies and innovational development of forest sector could be the creation of Technical research Center for development, scaling, and commercialization of biotechnologies. The place and role of the Center in regional forest cluster is established. A tool of creation of the Center should be a public private partnership which allows combining and harmonizing the interests of the government, scientific and business societies in the sphere of building of bioeconomics in the Russian Federation. The authors emphasize that these Centers of scaling would allow providing full-scale development of bioindustry in regions of Russia in all sectors of biotechnology.

In the article substantiates that development of forest complex of the Russian economy is not possible without the implementation of structural reforms and emphasis on diversification of forestry as an important industry segment. Reasons for diversification of forest complex are shown, including: disparities in development of technological chain - forestry-logging-woodworking; technological, territorial and economic fragmentation of forest, harvesting and processing enterprises and industries; infrastructural and economic barriers; low level of Research and Advanced Development and industrial innovation at all stages of technologically related industries. It is proved that diversification of forestry should be carried out at the level of the most significant sub-systems: reforestation and afforestation in order to transfer to the technologies allowing reducing the period of growing of wood and target assortments. Diversification of forestry is possible during the transition from forest crops to plantation afforestation through the establishment of industrial forest plantations on the lands of forest fund. To reduce the risk component in the diversification of forest production, creation of industrial forest plantations must be carried out not far from industrial consumers of wood, which will ensure the economic feasibility of growing, harvesting and delivery of wood raw material. The proposed mechanism of diversification in combination with biotechnology will provide increasing demand for timber, with significant reduction of the environmental load on natural forest stands, allowing you to preserve natural ecosystems for purposes of recreation. Introduction of biotechnology in forestry will reduce the gap in development segments of the forest complex and increase wood supply for diversified industries. Diversification of forestry and development of industrial plantation afforestation is constrained by legal framework and absence of measures of financial support of enterprises of forest complex.

“…Examples of these are: a) the Assisted Migration Adaptation Trial (AMAT), where forty-eight seed sources from 15 tree species originating from British Columbia, Canada, and the north-western USA are being tested at 48 field test locations between the southern Yukon and northern California (Marris, 2009;O´Neill et al, 2012); b) a common garden experiment with 35 populations…”

En este trabajo se presenta evidencia de que el cambio climático es un proceso que está en curso y que las poblaciones de árboles forestales son genéticamente diferenciadas en caracteres cuantitativos debido a la adaptación en hábitats específicos. Se discuten en detalle las evidencias de que el desplazamiento del hábitat climático apropiado para especies y poblaciones de árboles forestales, debido al rápido cambio climático, probablemente causará estrés importante a las poblaciones naturales de árboles. Debido a los límites físicos de la migración natural, las poblaciones de árboles serán incapaces de mantenerse acopladas al blanco móvil en el que se convertirá su hábitat climático apropiado. El consiguiente desacoplamiento entre las poblaciones naturales y el clima para el cual están adaptadas, provocará probablemente mayor declinación forestal, como ya está sucediendo en varios bosques del mundo. Con el fin de adaptarse al cambio climático, ¿Qué opciones de manejo forestal se tienen? ¿Cuáles podrían ser las consecuencias de la inacción? Se describe y discute la migración asistida, que consiste en la realineación física de poblaciones naturales con el clima para el cual están adaptadas, mediante la reforestación de los sitios donde se proyecta que el clima propicio ocurrirá en el futuro. Lo anterior se considera una opción de manejo activo para mantener los ecosistemas con árboles sanos en el futuro.
