The importance of methodology of multicompositional wealth in forming economic forest policy

The impossibilityto stop using the unique natural phenomena that provide the reproductive cycle of the social system requires a responsible economicpolicy to ensure the integration of these phenomena into the economy transforming them into objects of the economic environment.Forest in terms of the economic environment belongs to the category of a complex wealth. In spite of the fact that forest is a naturalwealth, its fullest renewal in the present conditions of technogenic pressure is not possible without economic interference. The multicomponent character of forest allows finding out that each component represents independent value, i.e. it can be considered as a separateeconomic object. This feature indicates that breaking the component structure (removal of separate components) changes and worsensthe properties of forest as a common wealth. On this basis forest should be recognized as a multicompositional wealth. Carrying outthe functions of raw and non-raw material character forest requires recognition of its multifunctionality. The choice of functions is definedby a set of tasks, which can be solved in the forest management practice, as well as by the composition of the object. The varietyof functions of forests is recognition of the renewal, a purposeful reproduction of forest as a multicompositional wealth. Conversion offorest into the material wealth taking into account its multicompositional character pays attention to the fact that forest is not a simplelist of benefits, but such a set where the subject structure of wealth and connection mechanism are very significant. The essence of theimplementation of multicomposition lies in the fact that if the initial structure of the common wealth of the forest is capable to define thefuture composition, thus characterizing forest as an increasing wealth, then it is necessary to understand that the preservation of mainforest properties in up-to-date conditions of its use requires capital investments. Preservation of forests involves the need of its functioningas an economic wealth (requiring the application of resources, including not forest origin). Forest needs the public awareness of lossand non-restoration of its useful properties, that allows making choice in ways of using forest. The declarative character of intentions onforest preservation can be overcome under condition of understanding that economic forestry policy should be pursued on the basis ofmulticomposition of forests, for only the preservation of structure completeness and the impossibility of segregation of complex objects,forming a complex good - forest, will protect and increase it as a part of national wealth. In this case, economic forestry policy will bethe embodiment of the idea of forest reproduction.
