ЛІСІВНИЧО-ТАКСАЦІЙНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА НАСАДЖЕНЬ У ВОЛЬЄРАХ РІВНЕНСЬКОГО ПОЛІССЯ
Fourteen enclosures with area of 1018,7 ha function on the territory of Rivne Polissya. In enclosure structure the territory of forests with area of 815,9 ha prevail, the rest of the enclosures with the area of 202,8 ha - is the field area. According to types of forest plants conditions fairly fertile sites dominate covering more than a half of forest enclosures (431,2 ha or 62,7%). Within enclosures 16 forest types are distinguished. The pine forest complex is represented with dry, fresh, wet and raw infertile sites. The largest territory is covered with fresh pine forest (41,1 ha). On fairly infertile soils amongst 4 forest types, the absolute advantage is in oak-pine forest - 99,7 ha or 6% of total area covered with forest plantations. Forests on fairly fertile soils are represented with 8 types. Here raw black alder forest dominates (167,5 ha or 24,3%). Another 2 types cover considerable area: wet (146,3 ha) and fresh (78,7 ha) hornbeam - oak - pine forests. According to fodder and protective qualities the dominant forest types are most suitable for hunting fauna populations functioning in half-free conditions. In enclosures mixed plantations prevail (266,9 ha or 38,8%) with domination of Pinus sylvestris and Betula pendula. They are mostly of middle age (49,4% or 33,9 ha). The undergrowth, its density and state in enclosures indicate the intensivity of hunting fauna influence on forest plantations. According to tax description the undergrowth cover 419,8 ha or 60,9%.
