The oxygen-producing function of urban forests is an integral factor in creating favourable living conditions for the population in an urbanized environment. Managerial decisions aimed at the development of environmental potential in urban forests shall be based on sustainable development goals and ensure the balanced use of their ecosystem functio...

The systemic environmentalization of society in recent decades, conditioned by the understanding of the general responsibility to future generations for the consequences of the destructive impact on the environment, led to the search for a new paradigm of balanced nature use. It requires the development of a scientific basis for the assessment and...

Use of woody biomass of logging residues at plots where different types of logging has occurred as a planned management activity has to be based on the analysis of relevant environmental risks. These risks include biodiversity losses, soil fertility reduction, and formation of dangerous volumes of flammable materials in forests during the fire-haza...

Woody biomass in Ukraine is currently seen as an important resource for securing development of national renewable energy sector, avoiding dependence on the imported fossil fuels, and for building a low-carbon economy. This research highlights the indices of the overall energy potential of Ukraine’s forests of the dominant tree species, expressed i...

The article presents the results of estimating carbon stocks in live biomass of forests of the National Nature Park «Prypyiat-Stokhid» on the basis of state forest account data (as of 01.01.2008 and 01.01.2016) and mathematical modeling using a research database of temporary sample plots. For each functional zone, the dynamics of total stocks of li...

... The current oxygen productivity of urban forests of Kyiv provides 25-27% of this need, if the physiological needs of other biological species are not taken into account. At the same time, this ratio can be improved by means of creating green spaces within the city of Kyiv and suburban forests of the Kyiv region [21]. The latter provide annual oxygen productivity at the level of 4 million tons. ...
