Abstract

At present all the methods existed to define the word – cutting area under calculation are directed to the area calculation. However, at some stands the actual wood stock could appear to be significantly less than expected by the felling period. Thus, the area calculation actually doesn’t guarantee the sustainable forestry principle to be true. We have already given the formula to predict mature forest woodstock on the base of its present stock and age. Numerous tests with the formula in using Growth Development Tables showed the mathematical expectation in mean deviations from the predicted ones have been 2,7 % for the conifers and to 0,1 % - for the broad learned ones. That’s why we have offered the technology and the computer program to define wood-cutting area on the base of the predicted woodstock.

Key words: woodstock, stand, forestation, prediction, algorithm, program
