Abstract

The research is devoted to quantitative indices of bioproductivity process in forests of Ukrainian Polissya. In particular, the article presents the results of assessment of parametric structure of their biological and energy productivity. The research is based on current state forest account and mathematical toolbox as well as on application of research database of temporary sample plots. As a result, it became possible to ascertain trends of total live biomass stock (632,6 million tons), sequestered carbon (314,8 million tons) and accumulated energy (11,26 EJ) within administrative units of the researched region. Quantitative parameters of net primary production (19,2 million tons of carbon per annum) of forests in Ukrainian Polissya were determined as well.
