Scientists-foresters of Germany Visited Tatarstan

A delegation of German scientists arrived in the Republic of Tatarstan on May 3, 2017, within of joint research projects implemented in the territory of the "SabinskoyeLesnichestvo" and "KaibitskoeLesnichestvo" - "Creation and use of forest plantations in the Republic of Tatarstan "LesPlan" and "Optimization of mixed plantings of oak and linden OMSK".

Let us recall that the LESPLAN project envisages the laying of experienced fast-growing tree plantations with the subsequent creation of "industrial" plantations of aspen, larch, birch and various poplar clones. The goal of the project is to identify species and varieties of wood that allow accelerated afforestation, especially in areas under threat of water and wind erosion in the Republic of Tatarstan.

The OMSK project is aimed at studying the optimization of the number of seedlings when laying artificial English oak and small-leaved linden plantations. In the Republic of Tatarstan, the forest community of English oak and small-leaved lindens is located on the northeastern border of the range of its natural origin. The object of the study are oak forests located on the territory of the Kaybitskiy and Tetyushskyforestries of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Within the working visit the scientists met with E.N. Bedertdinov - the first deputy forestry specialist of the Republic of Tatarstan . Parties discussed the issues of further work, after that Emir Bedertdinov presented the Red Book of the Republic of Tatarstan as a sign of cooperation.
