Abstract

Results of long-term observations of a young growth emergence and development  in the  spruce and deciduous species stands  of wood sorrel and whortleberry types subsequent to selective and gradual cutting have been analyzed. It is noted that non-clear cuttings  precipitates recreative succession of forest phytocenosis.
