ИСТИНА

Geospatial data serves as a main information component to support the sustainable forest management. Forest statistical data in table or text form is traditionally applied for strategic planning and forest resource assessment by Russian forest administration. The statistical forest data prepared for management units in the regions is summarised within the framework of state forest register at federal level. Up to now, the main disadvantage of forest register is the lack of cartographic support and visualization of statistical data. The simple map service for visualization of statistical record data as an atlas of interactive maps is now being developed.
