On the vital state of artificial plantations and the need for forestry care in the green belt of the city of Nur-Sultan

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to establish the need for maintenance logging in artificial 16-19-year-old plantings of various compositions using a comprehensive evaluation indicator. The purpose of the research work is to increase the durability of artificially created plantings in the study area based on the improvement of methods of logging maintenance. The data obtained will make it possible to assess the effectiveness of forestry measures. The species composition of the green zone of the city of Nursultan is mainly represented by plantings of elm, ash-leaved maple, tree willow, narrow-leaved loch, warty birch, common pine. There are practically no practical recommendations for carrying out forestry care for these species growing in the steppe zone, the subzone of dry tipchak-kovyl steppes with a sharply continental climate. Work on the study of the impact of logging care in plantings of various formations of the green zone of the city of Nursultan has not been carried out before, which determines the scientific novelty of the project. The practical significance of the work is that the results obtained can be used to predict the growth and productivity of plantings in similar forest growing conditions.
