Elena Busygina, Head of the Forest Reproduction and Protection Department of the Federal Forestry Agency, made a keynote speech on the results of thinning in young forests.
It should be noted that this year in the Republic of Tatarstan, work on caring for young animals was carried out on an area of 2.7 thousand hectares, which is 100% of the plan.
For reference. Young growth care includes such forestry activities as clarification and cleaning. Clarification - thinning in a young plantation, aimed at improving its species and quality composition and growth conditions for the main species. It is carried out up to 5-10 years of age, depending on the forest-forming species, the productivity of plantations, and the forest zone.
Cleaning is thinning in a young stand, aimed at regulating the density of stands and improving the growth conditions of trees of the main species, as well as continuing the formation of the composition, carried out after a period of clarification up to the age of 20 years of the stand.
