ASSIMILATION FUNCTION OF FORESTS IN ABSORBING CARBON DIOXIDE IN CHELYABINSK REGION
Abstract
In accordance with modified G. E. Mekusch’ methodology calculated the assimilation function of forests in Chelyabinsk region according to the absorption of carbon dioxide. It is shown, that forest ecosystems can absorb 0,7 tons СО2 per 1 hectare every year, while annual emission of carbon dioxide is 8,4 tons per 1 hectare. In general, the assimilation potential of forests in Chelyabinsk region in the absorption of carbon dioxide is 1664,7 tons per year, and its cost is equal to 16,7 million dollars a year. Thus, the ecological functions of forests prevail over their operational functions, not only in the environmental sense, but also in the economic aspect.
Key words
Forest ecosystems, carbon dioxide, assimilation function, research methods, economic evaluation of forests.
