MODERN LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE OF RADYVONIVKA FOREST EXPANSE.
On the basis of working up the materials of Melitopol forestry and personal field investigations, an analysis of the landscape structure of Radyvonivka forest expanse, using a complex geographical approach, has been made for the first time. The investigations prove, that the quality of forest plantations depends on the salinity, mechanical structure, soil humidity degree and locality type. As a result of the landscape typological analysis of this nature plot, flood plain, slope, flat interfluves and watershed locality types have been distinguished. Proper types of silvicultural landscape areas correspond to each of them. The carried out investigations enabled to make a landscape map of Radyvonivka forest expanse and to show a high-altitude differentiation of forest plants. At the beginning of the 21st century, almost all the forest plants do not correspond to their places of growing, and they are represented both by deciduous species (oak, ash, acacia, elm, honey locust, celtis, wild fruit trees) and conifers (pine, juniper). The field studies and consultations with foresters prove that forest expanses need original approaches to their formation and rational usage. The principal approaches are improving the forest expanse structure, restoring underwoods and creating outskirts of a forest, increasing the silvicultural landscape area.
Keywords: landscape structure, Radyvonivka forest expanse, locality type, forest plantations, forest plant conditions.
