THE NEW METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT OF ANTHROPOGENIC FACTOR ON FOREST COVER IN MOUNTAINOUS ZONES

https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2016.03-04.006

Abstract

The paper carries out the analysis of existing methods for assessment of anthropogenic factor effect on forest cover in mountainous zones, and presents a new method for evaluation this impact. It is noted, that the specific property of anthropogenic factor to impact both in direct and non-direct manner on condition of forests is not taken into consideration in existing models. The paper proposes the method of full accounting of anthropogenic factors affecting on forest condition both directly and via integrated parameter. Moreover, it gives the mathematical grounding of suggested method and the example of its use on the basis of results of study of forest zones condition at the south-eastern slopes of Great Caucasus. This paper shows the new approach of regression analysis of anthropogenic factor impact on ecological condition of forest zones which is a local source of energy supply of population in mountainous zones.
