Dynamics of cuttings in Atleka

The results of the processing of satellite images by means of the amount of harvesting in the area of Atleka (the north of the Vologda region) are presented. A significant decline in logging for a period of about 70 years (1960 - 2013.) was revealed. It is connected with the reduction in the area occupied by mature and overmature coniferous forests. At present, the proportion of intact old-growth forests (HCVF) in the district is about 5% of the region area.
