REPRODUCTION AND PROTECTION OF FOREST STANDS IN THE QUARRIES OF KABARDINO-BALKARIA

Abstract

A brief overview of mineral extraction fields in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic is given. Taking into account the forest-growing conditions of the substrate types, the directions for creating forest plantations are proposed. Soil mixtures in the research region are divided into 3 main groups according to the degree of suitability for biological reclamation: unsuitable, requiring long – term reclamation, unsuitable, becomes suitable after improving their properties, suitable-potentially fertile and fertile soils. In order to increase the efficiency of reproduction of anthropogenic landscapes, measures for the reconstruction and protection of natural forest stands are proposed.
