- Abstract
The article sketches the current state of the problem of economic measurement of forest ecosystem services. The issue of utilization of non-timber forest benefits has been actively discussed in academic literature for the last 25 years, but it is still too early to speak about a high degree of maturity of the results obtained. Nevertheless, the systematization of research on this topic has shown that even in the case of implementing mechanisms for involving known estimates of the value of ecosystem services in economic turnover, the actual economic value of forests can increase by orders of magnitude. Practical realization of this transition requires, at a minimum, a significant clarification of scientific ideas about the actual ecosystem utility of certain forest services and a reduction in the uncertainty of their estimates. Given the scale of Russian forests, the creation of tools for adequate assessment and consideration of their ecosystem services in economic practice can radically change the nature of forest use and solve many problems of the forest industry in the country. It is necessary to stimulate the development of research in the field of economic valuation of forest ecosystem services within the framework of broad international cooperation
