Abstract

The requirements of regulatory documents for determining the amount of damage caused to forest plantations due to illegal felling and other violations of forest legislation as a result of which the forest stand is destroyed are considered. Based on the analysis of the requirements of regulatory documents, an algorithm has been developed that makes it possible to structure the sequence of decisions made when determining the harm for the destruction of forest plantations. Work has been done to integrate the developed algorithm into the electronic environment and the commands for automatic calculation have been written based on the data entered by the system operator. Based on the data of different variations, test calculations of the amount of harm in an automated system were carried out. The obtained results of test calculations were compared with the calculations of experts. On the basis of a comparative analysis, conclusions were drawn about the correctness of the developed automated system for determining the amount of harm.
