FOREST AREAS AND RIVER NETWORK OF THE CENTRAL RUSSIAN BELOGORYE IN THE 1780-S, 1880-S, AND 1980-S.
Within the Central Russian Belogorye for the period 1780-s – 1980-s wooded areas were decreased from 13,5 to 8,5 %. Density of river network for this period was decreased from 0,28 to 0,15 km/km2. 47 % of the region's territory was effected by river's network degradation in 2 times. Maximum intensity of forest areas and length of rivers degradation was from 1780-s till the 1880-s. For the following 100 years (1880-s – 1980-s) intensity of forests and river's network degradation was about the same with final result in 5 % at state of the 1780-s.
