Procedure of carrying out SFI 4

5 Methodological guidelines on carrying out SFI

Forest Code of the Russian Federation

State program of the Russian Federation ‘Development of Forestry’ for 2013 - 2020


SFI goals

SFI activities SFI goals

1. Determining of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forests 2. Forming federal information resources

Information support of management in the field of forest use, protection and regeneration of forests Information support of Federal State Forest Control

3. Remote monitoring of forest use Timely detection and forecast of processes having a negative impact on forests

4. Evaluating activities of forest protection, conservation and regeneration and forest use by ground methods

Evaluating effectiveness of activities on forest conservation, protection and regeneration

SFI principles in determining quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forests

Indicators Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of

forests

SFI objects Forest districts

Principles of planning As pointed out in the State program of the

Russian Federation ‘Development of Forestry’ for 2013 – 2020

Methodological basis Landscape approach

Combination of remote and ground methods

Technical basis Data from forest management planning, public database obtained from land planning, remote

sensing with esolution not less then 5 m

Reporting After the end of works

Midline reports – every year


Technology of works to determine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forests

1. Creating digital base of work objects on the basis of topographic plans, forest management planning data, public database obtained from land planning

2. Actualization of digital base to development activities, anthropogenic and natural impacts according to remote sensing data

3. Statistical placement, determining location of SFI permanent sample plots

4. Laying out permanent sample plots and carrying out measurements and studies

5. Making up of actualized schematic maps of forest strata.

6. Complex processing of data from permanent sample plots to determine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forests

5


Input SFI data to determine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of forests

Topographic plans

Forest management planning materials (forest management planning map-boards with current updates, stand plans, forest inventory descriptions)

State forest register data

Map materials of public database obtained from land planning

Remote sensing data (digital space images with resolution not less than 5 m

Reporting on use, protection, conservation and reproduction of forests


Use of remote sensing data

Space image with detected changes

Actualized map of forest strata

Fragment of space

image Fragment of forest management

planning map board

Results of modifications according to remote sensing data

In the course of decoding the following is detected:

cuttings; burned areas; dead stands; windfalls; regions without plan and map materials.
