Assessment of capacity for forest production of lands
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2012, Vol 121, Issue
Abstract
Main problems of assessment of forest growing capacity of underproductive lands and prospective ways for their resolving are discussed. Imperfection of existing classifications is shown. System of diagnostic indices for assessment of forest site capacity of soils of pine forests of Ukraine (granulometric composition, contents of physical clay, power of profile humus part, total K) and oak forests of the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (granulometric composition, total Са, Mg) is determined. Results of the research have shown that chemical and granulometric composition of parent rocks and soils can be used as the most informative indicator of forest lands productivity.
