The article presents a brief overview of the works on forest typology and zoning of Siberia conducted at the Forest Typology Laboratory of the Institute of Forest and Timber of the USSR Academy of Sciences, later Sukachev Institute of Forest of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The ecological and phytocoenotic line of research and the regional approach to the creation of diagnostic tables of forest types were adopted as a basis for complex field work carried out jointly with forest management throughout Siberia. The principal features of forest typological work in mountains required the improvement of the system of classification units and mapping of forest cover with determining their diagnostic indicators. The significance of these works for the development of the concept of systemic structure of forest cover and its deep connection with the concept of hierarchical structure of landscape cover through the idea of biogeocenosis and terrestrial ecosystem are meaningful for today. The author speaks in favor of the regional approach to classification of forest types but does not close the way to the creation of a generalized classification of forest ecosystems based on climatic ordination and information modeling. The practical use of ecological-phytocenotic regional classifications of forest cover is substantiated for creating medium-scale maps for various purposes and solving environmental management problems, with the access to ecosystem management of forest territories.
本文简要概述了苏联科学院森林研究所森林类型学实验室（后来的俄罗斯科学院西伯利亚分院苏卡切夫森林研究所）在西伯利亚森林类型学和区划方面的工作。该研究采用了生态和植物群落学的研究路线和区域方法，为在西伯利亚各地与森林管理部门共同开展的综合实地工作奠定了基础。为了创建森林类型的诊断表，需要改进分类单元系统和森林覆盖制图，并确定其诊断指标，这些工作的主要特点对山区的森林类型学工作具有重要意义。这些工作对于发展森林覆盖的系统结构概念及其与景观覆盖的层次结构概念的深刻联系具有重要意义，其联系体现在生物地理群落和陆地生态系统的理念中。作者赞成采用区域方法对森林类型进行分类，但并不排斥基于气候排序和信息建模创建森林生态系统综合分类的方法。生态-植物群落学的森林覆盖区域分类在为各种目的创建中等比例尺地图和解决环境管理问题方面具有实际用途，并且可以实现对森林地区生态系统的管理。
