Abstract

The mires are non-uniform in origin. The type of mire is connected with a type of aqua-mineral nourishment. This article presents the level of forests bogginess in Russia and their differences considering to the forestry usage. Also is indicated the influence of the drainage canals on the groundwater aquifers level and the forest growth on the dried up mires. The content of O2 in the groundwater is studied. The soil air composition of the peat soil and the content and role of CO2 and O2 in it are studied. The methods of the natural afforestation of the innings through the creation (planting) of the forestry crops is also examined. The rating of the silvicultural character of the innings and the quality of the wood is given. The water-regulating role of the forests formed on the innings is also shown in this article.
