Real forests productive worth determination method

Proper determination of forest productive worth as the base for forest tax-rent establishing from forests owner to forest managers, is a problem which existing more hundreds years. This question was solved on different ways in history, depends of social-economic settlement, ownership relation in forestry area, forestry practice and knowledge about forests. In some cases this question is not solved at all, such as in B&H. Here, there is a problem of non equal validation of the same work in different state forestry region. In general, worth determination of some forest, because of forest tax establishing could be based only on worth of particular forest functions which foresters utilise. That is only productive function in the most cases. Productive forests worth depends of timber quality, real direct and indirect costs of forest management. Based on optimal enterprices organisation and technical capacity, adequate to planed system of management, the cost of management shoud be calculated. Forests are different regarding volume and quality of income, current structure and accessibility for exploitation, so it could not be established only one proper tax value for all forests and different regions. There is a need for investments in forests at the same time also. How, how much, and which dynamic of the investments should be applied for economically sustainable way? In the states with regular forestry, two ways for forest tax determination exist. First is based on market mechanism, and second is based on direct calculation of forest worth where market mechanisms are no only factors or not developed. The concept of methodological approach, which is real for adoption in B&H, for solving this problem in short time, is presented in this paper. Its essence comes from first understanding of term normal forest, established for forest tax determination. Productive worth of forest was calculated for forest management region (FMR) “Olovsko” as the real example. FMR has four different management units (MU) regarding forest types, geomechanical properties of terrain, average slope…The results of calculated productive worth, for these MU, shows the logical and significance differences in absolute values.
