Development of Pseudotsuga Menziesii (Pseudotsuga Menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) on the Territory of the Arboretum of the Khrenovskoy Forest College

In order to solve the problems of preserving the ecological potential in protective forests of the forest-steppe region of the European part of Russia, it is envisaged to develop and apply technologies that ensure the preservation of ecological functions of forests and their biological diversity, where the introduction of introduced species is allowed during afforestation. In order to study the development of Pseudotsuga menziesa as an introduced species in the forest-steppe region of the European part of Russia (on the example of the arboretum of the Khrenovskoy Forest College of the Voronezh region), studies were carried out, which revealed: its high wood stock (681.4 m³/ha) and healthy vital state (94.1%) with the degree of damage to the plantation 5.9% and revealed the features of development. Hence, the following conclusion should be considered: based on further studies of the ecological and biological potential of the species, its introduction into production should be ensured in order to obtain sustainable biodiversity in plantations and agrolandscapes, especially in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of the southern Russian Plain.
