The application of soil properties measures in ecological-economic estimation of forest soils (by example of clear cuttings down and wind throw in Tverskaya region)

Abstract

The ecological-economic assessment of the two sites of clear cuttings down of 3 years and 25 years age and a site of catastrophic wind throw of 17 years is lead. Obtained data have been used for calculation of a index of ecological quality (PEQ) which size has allowed to correct cadastral cost of the ground areas. Decrease from 3% to «сutting down 25-years» up to 12% «young cutting down» was noted. The maximal decrease (19%) corresponds to a site «wind throw».
