Within this scientific work, based on the materials of the forest management, as of 01.01.2011, a generalized assessment of the forest biotic productivity of the Cheremosky National Natural Park was carried out. For this purpose, an analysis of the taxational structure of forests using the analytical apparatus of Microsoft Excel and the excretory database of the PE “Ukrderzhlisproekt” was conducted. With the help of the CARBON calculation program, a generalized prognostic characteristic of the total volumes of phytomass and deposited carbon was obtained. In total, it was established that in the forests of this environmentally protected site of the Carpathians as of 01.01.2011, 948.67 thousand tonnes of phytomass were accumulated on the total area of forest areas covered with forest vegetation 6674.3 ha with a reserve of stem wood of 1,755.6 thousand m3, which accumulated 469.42 thousand tons of carbon. The density of phytomass in forest covered with forest vegetation is 14.2 kg∙(m²)^-1, carbon - 7.0 kg∙(m²)^-1. The highest density of phytomasses is observed in hardwood ranges - 46.2 kg (m²)^-1. The smallest values of this indicator are characteristic for softwood - 8.5 kg·(m²)^-1. The closest to the average is the density of phytomass in coniferous trees - 14.1 kg·(m²)^-1.
