Abstract
The strategy of prognostic landscape-ecological studies on climatogenic changes in the biological cycle and carbon balance in forest ecosystems as leading factors of the biotic regulation of the environment is presented. Methods are described for constructing analytical and cartographic empirical statistical models that make it possible to reveal the local mechanisms of biotic regulation and identify the zonal/regional types of forest formations capable of stabilizing the continental biosphere in the changing climate.
