Abstract

Species composition and age structure of stands in terms of forest area were investigated. It was revealed that in general in the area the dominance of the high bonitet stands of species is observed, including oak build. A small proportion of coniferous conditions are caused by the forest growth. Small areas of the softwood and beech indicate the quality of the wardens. It was established that the forest area is mainly middle-aged where oak and other hardwood species grow. The article contains a number of recommendations on the ways of optimization of forest land use of the area under research. It is proposed to increase the forested area by planting forest cultures on power lands and the formation of protective plantations; improve the quality of the stands using thinning and planting valuable species. It is proposed to grow white pine and acacia on man-disturbed land and forestry areas with limited potential. In order to increase attractiveness of landscapes and tourist attractiveness of the area the possibility was proved to create small woods in place of abandoned farms, small slopes of ravines and on the sides of tovtry, overgrown with shrubs and scattered among the islands of arable land.
