Effective ways of forest productivity increase

Abstract

In the conditions of Belarus at reforestation and afforestation it is necessary to give preference to a pine, as the most productive. Replacement with pine forests of spruce and oak forests at a stage of reforestation promotes increase of efficiency of woods in 1.2 times. It is necessary to improve technology of creation of the forest cultures, including processing of soil by loosening by strips with simultaneous destruction of stubs and planting of seedlings by forest planting machine, timely and qualitative addition, care of forest carrying out, lightings and clearings. Reconstruction carrying out of small density (0.3–0.5) stands of coniferous and hardwood species by clear cutting at any age with the subsequent formation of normal pine forest stands will allow to raise efficiency of forests in 2-3 times. Efficiency of forests raises in 6 times and more at reconstruction of forest stands of deciduous species by clear cutting at any age with the subsequent creation of forest cultures and formation of normal pine forest stands.
