RESTORATION OF FORESTS IN THE TERRITORIES PASSED BY LARGE-FOREST FOREST FIRE IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE STATE ENTERPRISE «OVRUTSKE FORESTRY»

Topical issues of forest regeneration in the territories of the State Forest Fund of the Zhytomyr Regional Department of Forestry and Hunting, which were passed by large-scale forest fires, are substantiated. The processes of forest regeneration in the conditions of tracts of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry» are analyzed, as well as organizational and ecological-forestry aspects are considered. The subject of the work is reforestation on fires, which were formed as a result of large-scale forest fires in 2018, 2020 in the forests of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry». Particular attention in the research process was paid to the condition of areas after large-scale forest fires, as well as technological features of reforestation in areas that were passed by large-scale forest fires, including in terms of radioactively contaminated soils. Today, these aspects are becoming extremely important for the restoration of forests in the post-fire period on fires not only in the forest edatopes of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry», but also in the forest ecosystems of the Zhytomyr Regional Department of Forestry and Hunting. All the above elements of reforestation have significant practical economic value for forestry enterprises, as the issue of reforestation of fires is quite relevant in their production activities. A significant degree of forest burnout as a result of large-scale forest fires in 2018, 2020 in the forest edatops of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry» significantly affected not only the state of economic development, but also the strategic sustainable development and infrastructure of settlements located in areas of large-scale forest fires, as well as, unfortunately, human casualties from the local population. All this emphasizes the extreme relevance and prospects of research on reforestation and the impossibility of recurrence and spread to large areas of forest fires in the region of Ovruch-Slovenian ridge. The aim of the work is to study in detail the possibility of conducting operational reforestation measures in areas affected by the fire of large-scale forest fires in 2020 and to predict the possibility of preventing the recurrence and spread of forest fires in large forested areas and settlements located in the «Ovruch Forestry». The main methods of reforestation after large-scale forest fires in forest tracts of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry» are calculation and analytical collection and processing of the results of the laid trial areas on forest fires in 2018, 2020 monitoring of the impact of various forest fires in the forest. period on fires of different degrees of burning of wood, shrub, grass vegetation and litter for the effectiveness of afforestation of large-scale fires in the forest edata of the State Enterprise «Ovruch Forestry», as well as route surveys of areas adjacent to the centers of large-scale forest fires determining the degree of thermal damage to stands from exposure to high temperatures, infrared irradiation of arriving and mature stands, analysis of the effectiveness of measures to localize and extinguish large-scale forest fires, including the use of aircraft of the SES of Ukraine. Determining the nature of the population of forest stands, which were weakened due to the direct impact of forest fires, but were not destroyed by fire, forest and coniferous rodent pests. This will make it possible in the next 10 years to predict possible outbreaks and spread of forest pests from weakened stands as a result of large-scale forest fires in 2020 in arriving and mature stands to determine the nature of drying and damage to various species of conifers and leaf-eating rodents.
