Assessmen of reforestation in the Sakhalin region

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of creating forest plantations in the Sakhalin Region. In the process of performing the work, the authors analyzed the state of forest plantations created on the territory of the Sakhalin Region. In the process of performing the work, the authors analyzed the state of forest plantations created on the territory of the Sakhalin Region. The high growth rates of crops (height, diameter, stock) were studied. The experience of artifi cial restoration in the study region has almost 100 years, and since the 60s of the last century, reforestation work on the island has been completely mechanized. To date, the forest plantations of the Sakhalin region are located on an area of 194.8 thousand hectares, and occupy 3.5% of the lands occupied by the main forest-forming species. The main species used for reforestation are larch Kuril (Larix kurilensis), Ayan spruce (Picea jezoensis) and Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris). Currently, there is a shortage of available forestry fund in the region. As a result of evaluating the effectiveness of creating forest plantations, it is noted that it is most expedient to use Kuril larch for artifi cial reforestation in the Sakhalin Region, since it is more effective for these climatic conditions.
