In accordance with the strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation with low greenhouse gas emissions until 2050, it is planned to: increase the area of managed forests; study their potential to absorb greenhouse gases; develop technologies aimed at increasing the absorption of greenhouse gases by forest ecosystems. The article describes the approaches to the implementation of forest-climatic projects used at the Ural State Forestry Engineering University on the example of scientific projects conducted in study areas in the Middle and Polar Urals. Within the framework of the direction related to the study of the potential of forests to absorb greenhouse gases, an approach to quantifying carbon deposition in forest ecosystems of different climatic zones has been developed and tested using data from ground measurements of biometric parameters of trees, the results of ultra-high resolution aerial photography getting from unmanned aerial vehicles and allometric equations for quantifying the phytomass of trees and stands. The development and approbation of the methods was carried out in the research area in the Polar Urals (the Rai-Iz mountain range) and the Middle Urals (the carbon polygon of the Sverdlovsk region). Within the framework of the strategy directions related to the increase in the area of managed forests and the development of technologies aimed at increasing the absorption of greenhouse gases, an approach has been developed for the conditions of the Sverdlovsk region related to the forestry remediation of disturbed lands. This approach based on using different variants of creating artificial stannda and various fertilizer created on the basis of waste from metallurgical production and poultry farms. The approbation of this approach was carried out during the recmetiation on the one of a granite quarry on the territory of the Sverdlovsk region.
