Information resources
Cartographic information of scales 1:2000000- 1:5000000 in GIS data base "Forests of the
Central Siberia" recorded in the format Arc/ Info, EPPL, IDRISI and brought into
coincidence with the digitized World Map (DCW):
the map of physical and geographical regioning of the Central Siberia (5 informational
layers);
the map of the Central Siberia forest disturbance by fires, cuts, insects, industry emissions,
natural calamities.
the map of ecological tension in the forests;
the map of the Krasnoyarsk Territory forests;
the map of soil cover structure in the Central Siberia;
the map of Siberian forest pollution by technogenic emissions;
data base on forest fires in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for the years 1988-1995.
video information archives obtained from satellites NOAA for the Krasnoyarsk Territory
area for 1995.
Data base of the local GIS ( Bolshemurtinski leskhos of the o Krasnoyarsk Territory -
latitude 57 North, longitude 93 East) includes electronic maps in the scale of
1:50000 -1:500000. These are landscape map, forest type map,forest soil map, map
of forest disturbance by insects, plans of forest stands and plan-tables for the area
450 000 hectars. Database includes also forest inventory information for 22 000
elementar forest units according to 100 forest cover parameters.
The Institute has numerical and cartographic information in the paper medium as well:
long-term temporal series of the control of tree-ring width variations and tree falling away,
of the spatial tree stand structure , of dynamics of certain forest ecosystem
components which are obtained on the constant sample plots of forest steppe pine
forests as well as in forests of the southern and central taiga (more than 300 sample
plots);
data on summer temperature reconstruction in Subarctic region for the last 500 years;
data on regenerative dynamics of soil parameters, of species composition, of phytomass
and annual production of plant communities at industrial cuts;
