Abstract

The yield of agricultural crops and, consequently, the country’s food security depend on the state of forest reclamation complexes. Among the tree species used to create forest shelterbelts in the Krasnodar Territory, the proportion of ash plantations is high (30 %). The aim of the research has been to assess the condition of ash shelterbelts in the Korenovsky District of the Krasnodar Territory, determine the possibility of their performing agroforestry reclamation functions, and propose a system of measures aimed at restoring the vitality and extending the service life of forest plantations. The research objects have been located on the territory of the agricultural enterprise LLC “Sfera” of the Korenovsky District of the Krasnodar Territory. Generally accepted methods and recommendations have been used in the course of the work. The average inventory indicators of the dominant tree species in ash shelterbelts have been: height – 9.4 m, diameter at breast height – 18.2 cm, quality class – IV. The forest shelterbelts consisting of green ash (Fraxinus lanceolate Borch.) and downy ash (F. pubescens Marsh.) are mostly in an unsatisfactory condition. They are characterized by the average (4th) category of sanitary conditions – drying out plantings. The average survival rate of trees is 0.3. It has been established that dangerous insect pests are common in the plantings, including leopard moth (Zeuzera pyrina L.), clearwing moth (Sesiidae), ash cicada (Cicada orni Linnaeus), American ash aphid (Prociphilus fraxinifolii Riley), etc. In addition, 47 % of the surveyed plantings have shown non-compliance with the recommended designs of forest belts. There are also forest belts with various combinations of sections with different design features. The protective effect of such forest belt areas on agricultural landscapes is uneven, which, in turn, results in a decrease of land reclamation effects and shortage of agricultural products. In this case, forest belt owners are recommended to carry out measures aimed at restoring the vitality of forest shelterbelts. When carrying out a radical reconstruction of forest belts, we recommend introducing such resistant tree species as English oak (Quercus robur L.), downy oak (Q. pubescens Marsh.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), honey locust (Cleditsia triacanthos L.), etc. Forestry and forest belt owners are not recommended to use green ash and downy ash to create a new generation of forest shelterbelts.
