Operational forests on forest lands by species and age groups

at year-end

· snapshot · rows: 4 · periods: 6 · section: Environmental protection (в России. 2024)

435419 thousand hectares is the total area of forest‑covered land within exploited forests at the end of 2023. The figure is broken down by dominant tree species and their age groups, allowing assessment of the forest fund structure. Rows are divided into total, coniferous and broad‑leaf categories, and the information is presented as a snapshot without trends for previous periods, with the average age in years shown for each group

How to read this table

Comparison of tree categories provides insight into the composition of exploited forests. Each row highlights a separate species, facilitating comparison of coniferous and broad‑leaf plantings by area in thousand hectares. In addition to the totals, the table records the average forest age, which for all species combined reaches 87 years. This analysis reveals prevailing age groups by species without complex calculations

Period and application

The data are current as of the end of 2023 and prepared by Rosstat as part of the statistical collection on environmental protection. The information is intended for forest‑management specialists, ecologists and researchers dealing with rational natural resource use and monitoring of the country’s forest resources. Publishing the data in this format ensures transparency of forest‑fund accounting and aids assessment of the condition of exploited territories
