Abstract: This article examines the areas of cedar-deciduous forests (cedar forests) in the Primorsky Territory, their typology and optimal growing conditions. The wide variety of habitat types inherent in this forest formation determines its high typological diversity, the potential productivity of stands (bonity) and the course of the renewal process. Based on information from nature maps (geomorphological, soil, climatic), forest management materials of all forestry enterprises and nature reserves of the region, an extensive database (DB) has been created for cedar-deciduous forests. The use of mathematical methods to identify optimal environmental conditions made it possible to identify the main geographical factors of the environment that determine the structure and dynamics of cedar stands. Ecological passports of various types of forest formed by Korean cedar have been compiled. The areas of their optimal growth in the Primorsky Territory have been determined the most suitable for the reconstruction of secondary forests, laying forest crops and nurseries. In the face of increasing anthropogenic loads and climate changes, the obtained methodological developments can serve as additional criteria for monitoring forest vegetation and sustainable forest management in this region.
