Assessment, Conservation and Sustainable Use of Forest Biodiversity

Assessment and Monitoring
There is no problem of shortage of the local origin seeds in the Leningradskaja region. Therefore our
recommendations are that the movement of seeds from southern areas can be carried out in extreme cases.
However, considering a problem from the global climate warming point of view, the question raise: may be we
hold in hands a key to the decision (though in any degree) of the problem of forest stability at future global
climate changes by increase of forest biodiversity?
Certainly, it would be extremely careless to carry out the large-scale movement of seeds from southern areas.
However, we believe, that it will be very useful to expand the works on study of geographical cultures, to
attract the greater attention to forests monitoring, to study the connection of number of outbreaks of insects
and diseases with climate warming, to study opportunities of complication of population structure of new
forests raising their biodiversity by introduction in local populations more southern climatic types for
improvement forest stability in north-west region of Russia.
