Abstract

The study of forestry and stand mensuration characteristics of oak stands in the recreational and health forests of the Left-Bank Steppe was carried out based on forest management materials. The distribution of oak stands in recreational and recreational forests of the region by location, origin, forest types, age groups and classes, health status classes, and relative completeness was analyzed. Indicators of the use of forest site capacity by modal oak stands within forest areas of green zones around settlements (forestry part of forests of green zones) were calculated. It was found that oak groves in the recreational and recreational forests of the Left-Bank Steppe occupy an area of more than 73 thousand hectares or 39% of the total area of recreational and recreational forests of the Left-Bank of Ukraine. Artificial oak plantations predominate, the share of which is 52.9%. Sprouted oak stands occupy 42.5% of the area, and natural seeded stands occupy 4.6%. The largest reserve (195 m3·ha–1) is characterized by natural seed stands. Forests in the conditions of dry birch and sapwood predominate — 25,9 thousand hectares, which is 35.4% of the total area of oak stands in study region. In terms of area and stock, medieval plantations prevail, the share of which is 60.7% of the total area and 56.6% of their total stock. The predominance of oak stands growing according to the II and III site classes (62.7%) and characterized by a relative completeness of 0.7–0.8 (63.7%) was noted. It was established that the relative completeness of oak stands, starting from the VII age class, gradually decreases. The rate of use of forest plant potential by oak trees within the forests of green zones around settlements (forestry part) compared to local highly productive stands amounts to 76%. Losses of wood due to the insufficient degree of use of land fertility were estimated at 916.7 thousand m3.
