Abstract

We examine the theoretical and applications-specific issues relating to modelingthetemporal and spatial dynamics of forest ecosystems, based on the principles ofinvestigating dynamicalmodels. When developing the predictive dynamical models of forest resources,there is apossibility of achieving uniqueness of the solutions to equations by taking intoaccount the initialand boundary conditions of the solution, and the conditions of the geographicalenvironment. Wepresent the results of a computer modeling and predictive mapping for theregional and subregionalmodel of the forest resource dynamics.
