In this study we were motivated with the two research questions: (1) how much is the total value of forest hydrological services for hydroelectricity production? and (2) as forests belong to different forest owners, how to identify the level of payment for a specific forest stand? We focused our analysis on the two most important forest hydrological services for hydroelectricity production, water provision and sedimentation prevention.

In the forest structure, the spatial distribution of forest trees plays a very important role. The importance of the spatial distribution is to influence the sampling design of forest inventory, timber production, and the need for silvicultural treatments in a stand. The analysis results show that the difference between the two types is significant.

The use of wood as an industrial raw material has led to development of plantation forestry, in which trees are planted, managed, and harvested as crops. The productivity of such plantations often exceeds that of lessintensively-managed forests, and land managers have the option of choosing specific planting stock to produce specific types of wood for industrial use.

Siberian stone pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) is a cone-bearing species with outstanding nutritious seeds, health-supporting properties, and nut oil. Currently, the main volume of pine nuts is harvested in natural forests, which causes damage to ecosystems. The best solution to this problem would be harvesting nuts on special pine nut plantations established on the basis of high-seeding clones. However, it is hampered by the low efficiency of the existing methods for assessing plus-tree productivity.
