FEATURES OF REFORESTATION OF BURNED AREAS IN THE URAISK FORESTRY DEPARTMENT OF THE KHANTY-MANSI AUTONOMOUS AREA
According to studies it is observed of reafforestation continuity of burned areas. The presence of sprouting and undergrowth of the high-elevation categories «small», «medium» and «large» is noted. The burned areas reforestation with two tree species - pine and birch proceed. According to current specification, the pine natural regeneration is assessed as «normal». The amount of pine undergrowth is greater than the amount of birch undergrowth. To be at 100 m from forest edges the number of seedlings and undergrowth decreases by 2-3 times in comparison with the same indicators at 50 m from the forest edges. There is a predominance of vital pine undergrowth - up to 90-100 %. This is evidence of the successful reforestation of burned areas at this stage of development.
