Abstract
The modern state of motor roads protection by forest stands and applicable regulatory requirements for composition of the stands and guidlines of their application are described. Natural forests and forest stands of linear type, artificially created on either side of motor roads, play an important role in protection of motor transport and objects of motor roads infrastructure in the allocating zone from negative influences of the natural phenomena. They also execute ecological, sanitary-hygenic and aesthetic functions. The paper studies and describes the basic special categories of forest stands in accordance with modern classification. The aim of the study is to ground the protective and ecological importance of motor roads forest planting according to modern requirements to road protection from aerodynamic influence and to justify necessary amount of forest stands on the basis of the present categorisation of roads within the administrative areas. The use of forest plots of different spatial and specific forms is the most effective method of protecting roadside areas. The calculations of necessary amount of the forest stands of linear type along motor roads are made taking into account the top priority of drifting snow and dust prevention and aerodynamic influence protection. It is noted that the calculated optimized area of protective forest belts must be 353.7 thousand hectares for the whole Ukraine. Creation of of linear type forests protective areas of about 150 thousand hectares may be included among the priorities of innovation. Research and development to improve their efficiency can be considered as the preferred innovative project because the deposit amount of CO2 is 900 thousand tons, which is a significant reserve of carbon accumulation in protective stands.
