The restoration of the Far Eastern forests in modern conditions and their effective use

Abstract

The article summarizes the multi-year results of research of the Far Eastern forests restoration problem and their effective use in the present-day conditions. The forests of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia are of great economic, social and ecological importance. At the end of the XX century intensive forest use with predominance of continuous concentrated felling in multi-forest areas of the region, wood fires, development of mineral deposits led to depletion of forests, reduction of their qualitative composition and productivity. In addition, natural regeneration of cutover stands does not always ensure their afforestation. It can occur slowly with the change of economically valuable conifers and hardwoods by soft-leaved, undesirable trees and bushes. Therefore, one of the main tasks in forest reproduction is timely and high-quality reforestation, including artificial forest regeneration using innovative technologies. In this regard, the aim of the research is to develop the scientific bases of reforestation in the Far Eastern forests under modern conditions to develop innovative proposals for improving their state.
