Abstract

Purpose. To analysis of the current state of the forests on the territory of Berehiv forestry, geospatial features of their functional and age structure, species composition with the aim of optimizing forest use.

Methods. Observation, systematic approach, analysis and synthesis, generalization, system-structural, comparative-geographical, cartographic, mathematical

Results. The peculiarities of the geospatial distribution of forest areas on the territory of the state-owned forestry enterprise “Berehiv forestry”, their age structure, species composition, and distribution within forestry have been analyzed. Based on the primary materials, a map of forest categories in terms of forestry has been constructed and analyzed: “The categories of forest of the state-owned forestry enterprise “Berehiv forestry” in the context of forestry”. It has been defined that the forests perform the following functions: nature protecting, recreational and health-improving, and protective on the territory of the forestry. Despite the fact that the level of forest cover in the region is low and the forest areas are fragmented the production forests dominate here. Spatial analysis of the age structure and species composition in the forests of the State Enterprise "Berehiv Forest Farm" has been carried out. It has been found out that hardwood plantations dominate among the species composition of forest tracts. The leading place belongs to oak and beech stands. Conifers did not become widespread due to the peculiarities of local growth conditions. Tiny areas of low-value soft-leaved stands show the active and successful work of foresters. It has been clarified that the age structure of forests is dominated by medieval plantations. They are located mainly in the central and eastern parts of the territory that has been under the research. Mature and overmature stands dominate in the northern part.

Conclusions. It has been identified that, the area, which has been under the research is the least forested in Thanscarpathia region. The production forests are located in the most forested central and northern parts of the forestry, while the other categorizes dominate in the eastern and western outskirts. The area of Berehiv forestry requires a set of measures to be done to grow forests on infertile acidic soils and optimization of the age structure of existing forest areas.
