Abstract

The problem of artificial reforestation is widespread both in the world and Russia. This applies especially to the development of Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour crops). The article summarizes the experience of artificial regeneration of Siberian pine forests in the southern and middle taiga of Tomsk region. As a research result it has been established that predominant soil preparation by furrows in the logging areas with the help of a bottom plow is inappropriate; since herewith the topsoil is removed, which causes a delay in Siberian pine growth for 8–10 years. It was revealed that the planting of Siberian pine into the furrow bottom leads to its rotting and covering up with herbaceous vegetation. In the middle taiga it is possible to plant crops without soil preparation; in many scenarios it is essential. The most appropriate aids of laying out Siberian pine crops are microhills and fire lines with pre-served topsoil. It is preferable to plant forest crops with large-sized planters, which will make it possible to refuse from agrotechnical tending in case of low grass cover. The density of crops can be small (1.2–1.5 thousand pcs/ha); and, moreover, the forest environment is preserved due to the associated species. Siberian pine crops in the logging areas are overgrown throughout with hardwood species, which delay their development for many years. High intensity improvement thinning of Siberian pine crops up to the cleanout of deciduous layer is the most important and extremely necessary forest management measure for reforestation of Siberian pine forests.
