Аннотация: Huge areas of the Russian forests suffer from insufficient forest management. A scenario has been developed for an improved management program that would be implemented over the next 40 years. Possible options have been aggregated into three interlinked groups: increase in forest productivity, decrease of carbon by mitigation of disturbance regimes, and improvement of landscape management. In this report a simple model is described to illustrate the following possibilities foe increased carbon fixation by improved forest management: largescale of reforestation and afforestation, replacement of stands with low productivity and replacement the so called soft deciduous species and "climax" stands, and implementation of rational silviculture (thinning). The results indicate a potential for an increase in carbon fixation in Russian forest ecosystems of 24.4 Pg over 100 years, after the first year that the actions discussed are impleneted. The net sink of carbon was determined to be 16.5 Pg in the low estimate and 42.5 Pg in the high estimate. There is great potential for economically justified increased carbon fixation through improved forest management in Russia.
