Abstract

Based on the results of experimental work, the ways of improving sanitary and health measures in the oak forests of Belarus at the stage of their recovery after the depression of 2003–2008 are discussed. It is shown that trees affected by chronic diseases and damage accumulate already in middle-aged oak stands, which causes a decrease in the resistance of plantings over time. For the rehabilitation of oak forests, it is proposed to use selective sanitary logging more widely. For the first time in Belarus, the results of experimental logging are described, where a special scale was used to select oak trees for felling during selective sanitary logging. Conclusions and recommendations to the production allowing to improve the regulatory-technical documents for sanitary felling in oak forests are formulated. The directions for further research of the problem of increasing the efficiency of logging as a tool for rehabilitation of oak forests are proposed.
