Net primary production of Ural forests: Methods and results of automated estimating

Methodical approaches to forest biomass and net primary production estimating are studied and their regression models are designed. By means of combining these models and State Forest Account database of 305 forest enterprises of the Ural region the total forest biomass (9.11 billion tons) and net p...

Description
Summary:Methodical approaches to forest biomass and net primary production estimating are studied and their regression models are designed. By means of combining these models and State Forest Account database of 305 forest enterprises of the Ural region the total forest biomass (9.11 billion tons) and net primary production (542 million tons) are calculated. The models and calculating algorithms are involved into the information system on the base of the Software AG platform Natural, which allows to estimate and to re-calculate forest biomass and net primary production on some territory in automatic mode.
