INVESTIGATION OF LARCH FORESTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN

In the area of our research, there are larch forests of artificial origin, there are no native larch forests. Larch is actively used in the forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan. The area of plantings of larch in the forest fund of Tatarstan has reached five thousand hectares. For the purpose of economic use of larch plantations, a typology of larch forests with exclusively artificial origin is being developed in the region. The typology of artificially created forests is of great practical importance. The results of the study of modern forest types are necessary for the development of the forest theory. Almost all modern forests are formed in the course of anthropogenic impact, we should state the spread of the anthropogenic forest formation process on the vast territories developed by man. The larch forests of the Republic of Tatarstan are a vivid example of anthropogenic forests, so their research will allow us to develop methods for classifying the majority of modern forests growing in the area of research.
