Popis: An original methodology was formulated and a new three-stage method for assessing the CO2 balance in plant communities was developed. In managed forests, when calculating the carbon balance, it is necessary to take into account the release of CO2 and not only direct but also indirect costs of technical energy for laying plantations, caring for plantings, and felling for final use. As a model, the costs of technical energy for the cultivation of natural and genetically modified forms of aspen Populus tremula L. are calculated. The large role of indirect costs of technical energy in the balance of C-CO2 in forest plantations is shown. The final amount of CO2 runoff from the atmosphere depends not only on the area of forests and their productivity but also on the way the wood is used.
