Carbon sequestration in the forestry direction of reclamation of depleted clay quarries

Abstract
An attempt was made to analyze the possibility of creating carbon farms on worked out clay quarries in the Middle Ural taiga forest region. The research is based on the method of trial plots which ensures the receipt of objective data on productivity of artificial plantations created on lands disturbed by clay extraction process. It has been established that in the specified forestry regions the forestry direction of reclamation ensures the formation of relatively productive pine plantations. The latter, in the process of Photosynthesis extract carbon dioxide from the atmospheric air, depositing carbon in their tissues, thereby reducing the share of greenhouse gases and slowing down climate change. By the age of 50, up to 120 t/ha of carbon is deposited in stem wood alone. Carbon in wood is stored not only for the period of its cultivation, but also for the period of use of its processed products (furniture, boards, wooden structures, etc.), that is, for an indefinite period. Therefore, it can be stated that the creation of carbon farms on depleted clay quarries by planting 2-year-old seedlings of Scots pine solves not only the problem of providing the industry with wood and improving the environmental situation, but also implements a project to slow down climate change.
