Technical Description
The Forest State Account (FSA) data provides the country-wide forest
inventory information initially collected for the Federal Forest Service
of Russia forestry enterprises (lesxoz). Before using this database, it
is useful to become familiar with the basic divisions of Russian forest
land. The inventory data describes the aggregated forest resources and
the management activities carried out by the land owner. The description
is divided into 13 different tables according to the following outline:
Forestry landuse ; Species distribution; Functional landuse; Stand density
and site indices; Growing stock; Area and stock change; Forest restoration;
Forest fire protection; Restocking change; Tapping; Transport facilities;
Forest exploration; Thinning and sanitation; and Drainage. The
inventory description is present in the IIASA database for 1993, and aggregated
to ecological region.
The forestry enterprise
coverage contains the boundaries of: (a) the forestry enterprises of the
Federal Forest Service of Russia; (b) the ecological regions; and (c)
administrative boundaries. The map was compiled on the base of a topographic
map at the scale of 1:1 Million, and the boundaries of the shore lines
and country boundaries were aligned with the Digital Chart of the World.
The polygon attribute information contains the name and the identifier
of the forestry enterprise used by the Federal Forest Service, the ecological
region polygon identifier and the administrative polygon identifier.
The insects coverage was created by joining a database on infestation
probability to the administrative oblast coverage. Data exists for a total
of nine insects.
