- Аннотация: Russian boreal forests significantly contribute to the carbon balance of the planet and represent an important factor in combating climate change. As of January 1, 2016, the total area of boreal forests amounted to 810.9 million ha, or 90% of the total area of forest land in Russia. Practices within the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF) could be both a source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and greenhouse gas removals achieved due to sustainable forest management. Emissions are caused by deforestation, forest fires, harvesting and wood-removals, etc. Thus, land use and forestry policies nowadays and in perspective by the time the Paris Agreement takes place (after 2020) comprise a greater potential to mitigate climate change effect especially by carbon accumulation in forests. The Paris Agreement motivates the improvement of methods of estimating CO2 volumes absorbed by the Russian boreal forests and the objective assessment of emissions caused by certain LULUCF practices. Following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, the dynamics of carbon sinks and emissions in the Russian boreal forests were estimated with state forest statistical data over the period of 2003-2016. On the average, the annual removals of carbon in Russian boreal forests amounted to 528.70 Mt С yr-1, annual carbon losses – 61.21 Mt С yr-1 and the net carbon sink value (carbon budget) – 467.49 Mt С yr-1. The removals of carbon in boreal forests exceeded the carbon losses caused by timber harvesting, fires and other factors. Most likely, “indirect human-induced effects” corresponding with climate change can explain that growth of boreal forest carbon sink.
