Problems of the development of entomocenoses under reforestation conditions

Abstract

The course of the recultivation of post-industrial areas depends on their origin and configuration, as well as on the chemical and physical properties of the material. The most frequently employed method is forest recultivation, which is generally preceded by a preliminary restoration of the soil substrate by technical or agrotechnical methods used depending on the toxic properties of heaps or dumping grounds. In the primary phase of afforestation or tree-planting, recultivation is based on pioneer crop species such as the grey alder, poplar, Robinia and others, whereas later the composition of pioneer crop species is extended to forest-forming species such as oaks.
