Abstract

TThe experience of artificial reforestation demonstrates the forest plantations as an effective method of increasing the productivity of our forests. The design, coupe demarcation and cultivation of forest crops should be based on the zonal-typological basis. The type of forest cultures is the core of the methodology of the silvicultural practice. At the present stage, the strategy and tactics in the silvicultural practice should reflect the dialectical relationship between the task order for the creation of forest crops and its implementation through envi-ronmentally sound methods for the formation of artificial forests. The improving the effi-ciency and quality of silvicultural works is impossible without a policy of reducing the dif-ferences between the biological and technological components of artificial reforestation based on the ecologization of the entire silvicultural process. The silvicultural process can not be considered complete after the transferring of forest crops to the wooded lands. Crea-tion (coupe demarcation) and formation (cultivation) of forest crops is a long process; it can be completed only at the felling stage of an artificial plantation. The science and practice of artificial reforestation combine the wide experience of the most diverse forms of artificial forests in terms of composition, layering and age of components.
