METHOD FOR GROWING FOREST PLANTATIONS ON FELLING AREAS Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: silviculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves clearing of cutting areas in strips up to 5 m wide. Cleared strips are mineralized on the surface by loosening the soil and sowing seeds of leaf-bearing trees in non-seeding years. While clearing the strips, the windfallen and low-grade wood and felling residues are placed in mounds and in 3-6 years, after partial rotting of residues in mounds and stumps underneath the wood in the mounds is crushed and soil is raised in their place. Then seeds and forest cultures are sown on said microelevations. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 5 dwg
