FIELD: forestry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to forestry and can be used to assess the yield of seeds of coniferous species in forest areas, objects of a permanent forest seed base and temporary forest seed plots. The method for accounting for the yield of seeds of coniferous trees includes shooting a forest area in the infrared range with obtaining images and processing the obtained images. The survey of the forest area is carried out in the period before the onset of the phase of physiological maturity of seeds in unopened cones of trees to obtain a spectral thermogram of the distribution of temperature fields of fresh cones relative to the crown of trees. When processing the obtained images, an assessment of the seed yield in the forest area is carried out.
EFFECT: improving the accuracy of assessing the yield of cones and seeds of conifers in forest plantations 3-4 months before the start of collection.
