NATURE RESERVE FUND OF THE BRANCH “DASHIVSKE DLMG” OF THE SE “FORESTS OF UKRAINE”

Abstract

The article shows the problems of researching the state of objects and territories of the nature reserve fund in the structure of the forest fund of the branch “Dashivske DLMG”, which is located in the functional structure of the forest fund of the Central Forest Office of the State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” within the Vinnytsia region. The purpose of the article is to investigate the ecological state of the local botanical reserve “Dashivske” in the structure of the local eco-network of the Dashivske territorial community in the structure of the regional eco-network of the Haisyn district. The research methodology is the fundamental scientific works of scientists, ecologists and foresters in the field of nature protection within the Eastern Podillia. The research material of the article provides an analytical review of the specific forest management database of a specialized enterprise. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time an analysis of forest management data and a visual inspection within the forest areas of the Dashiv Forestry of the Vinnytsia region were carried out and the total number and species composition of forest plots were determined, as well as their ecological characteristics were carried out. It was established that the forest plots within the forest fund of the Dashiv Forestry of the Dashiv DLMG branch of the State Enterprise Forests of Ukraine are represented mainly by artificial forest cultures of the oak type. Analytical data show that fresh hornbeam oak forests prevail within the enterprise, which are the optimal forest and plant conditions of the region and highly productive forest plantations grow on them in rich moderately humid conditions. The result of the research is the establishment that oak stands also prevail in the forests. Conclusions. Based on data analysis, it was found that in the conditions of the Dashivske DLMG branch, there is an insufficient number of forest areas in the structure of the nature reserve fund, which makes it impossible to form effective schemes of local and regional eco-networks.
