State and reclamation efficiency of forest shelterbelts of Krasnodar krai

Abstract

State and reclamation efficiency of forest shelterbelts on an area of 122800 ha in Krasnodar krai were studied. Dense ripe and overmature shelterbelts of Robinia, ash, and three-throned acacia that protect 30–46% of the interstrip field area are predominant. District division of the region on protective forestation of seedbed, whose average magnitude is 2.9%, is proposed. Creation of 105000 ha of shelterbelts is needed to enhance their efficiency. Protective seedbed shelterbeds of 5.4% size is proven.
