Wild hoofed animals after long-term use of trees of forest species as fodder cause thinning of stand, deterioration of forest species composition and delay of growing of stand. Usually inventory is carried out once in 5-10 years, but in critical situations (rapid increase of feeding pressure by animals on forest stand) at the request of the owners of forest fund inventory can be carried out annually. In order to establish economic efficiency of forest and hunting managers and calculation of the amount of claims, damages must be assessed in monetary value. Instruction contains formula for calculation of damages. Full text Russian Website lawru.info
