Abstract

The most important task of modern forestry is to increase the productivity of forests and rational use of forest resources. This task is solved by a set of measures, the leading place among which is occupied by forest thinning. They include a range of activities to grow the forest in order to increase and improve its productivity, increase the size of forest use and make better use of the forest as an environmental factor. Increasing the productivity of forests is one of the important and complex problems of modern forestry. Growing highly productive stands of optimal composition requires regular forest maintenance. In the Republic of Belarus, thinning is carried out by various systems of machines and methods, each of which has its own characteristics and efficiency depending on the operating conditions.

This article evaluates the effectiveness of thinning for forest care in the conditions of forestry institutions of the Republic of Belarus using machine systems. The most important goals for the development of the country’s forestry are noted, among which are the provision of the formation of highly productive and sustainable forests, as well as increasing the resource potential of forests to meet the needs of the environment and society. Methods and techniques for carrying out thinning for forest care in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus are analyzed and proposed, technological processes are considered during the development of cutting areas. A comparison of the used machine systems based on gasoline-powered saws and harvesters was made, on the basis of which it is possible to make a reasonable choice of machine systems for the relevant methods and techniques for thinning, noted in this article.
