Сегодня одной из наиболее важных и актуальных задач современного ВУЗа является проблема патриотического воспитания студентов и бережного отношения к природе своей Родины.В последнее время среди молодежи стал востребованным туризм. Туризм -это одно из средств патриотического воспитания. Одним из популярных направлений туризма является экологический туризм, задачи которого состоят в том, чтобы противодействовать негативному воздействию на природу; популяризировать отдых на свежем воздухе и вести здоровый образ жизни; изучать культуру родной земли -посещать места военных сражений, памятных мемориалов, музеев истории и краеведения; поддерживать природоохранные мероприятия, что является неотъемлемой частью патриотического воспитания молодежи.Проведен анализ возможности экологического военно-патриотического туризма на территории Кавказского и Тебердинского государственных природных биосферных заповедников, национального парка «Приэльбрусье» на территории Кавказа.При экологическом военно-патриотическом туризме проводится изучение состояния природных ресурсов данного региона; сохранение, пропаганда и распространение экологических и военно-исторических знаний с учетом современных информационных и инновационных технологий; сохранение и восстановление всех видов и наименований памятников военной истории; объединение и координация деятельности организаций и лиц, занимающихся изучением военной истории или содействующих расширению военно-исторических знаний; участие в проведении военно-археологических раскопок на полях бывших сражений, в местах наиболее важных исторических событий; акции содействия ветеранам и чествования памяти героев.В результате прохождения маршрутов при экологическом военно-патриотическом туризме будут получены естественно-научные и исторические знания, приобретены определенные умения ориентирования на местности, навыки выживания в походных условиях. Особое внимание должно быть уделено вопросам горной подготовки, что, несомненно, пригодится в дальнейшем при прохождении службы в Вооруженных Силах России.Ключевые слова: военно-патриотическое воспитание, заповедники, Кавказ, национальные парки, экологический туризм.Today, one of the most important and urgent tasks of the modern university is the problem of patriotic education of students and careful treatment of the nature of their homeland.Recently, tourism has become popular among young people. Tourism -this is one of the means of patriotic education. One of the popular tourism destinations is ecological tourism, whose tasks are to counteract the negative impact on nature; to popularize leisure on fresh air and to conduct a healthy way of life; to study the culture of the native land -to visit places of military battles, memorials, museums of history and local history; to support environmental activities, which is an integral part of the patriotic education of youth.The analysis of the possibility of ecological military-patriotic tourism in the territory of the Caucasus and Teberda state natural biosphere reserves, the national park "Elbrus" in the Caucasus...

The created artificial stands of Scots pine perform an extensive complex of ecological functions, in particular, carbon deposition. The accumulation of phytomass in artificial forest coenoses has certain features in comparison with other stands of trees. A comparison of the data obtained with the indicators of natural stands under similar conditions shows a more active accumulation of biomass by artificial coenoses. At the age of 11, with the number of trunks of 5,5 thousand copies/ha, the wood stock is 65 m3 / ha and phytomass (needles)-23 t / ha. It is possible to estimate the phytomass of pine forest crops on the territory of the Orenburg region at 2,8 million tons, respectively, the reserve of deposited carbon is 1,4 million tons. With increasing age of trees, the value of phytomass and plantings of the studied breed increases. Forest crops growing in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone, in one year, give an increase of 9,2 t / ha, or 13,1 m3/ha. The volume of total phytomass of forest crops of scots pine in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone at the age of 5-15 years is 2449,689 tons, and the reserve is 3250,511 m3. In the forest fund of the Orenburg region (according to the forest fund accounting data as of 01.01.2021), scots pine occupies 37,6 thousand hectares (without Buzuluksky Bor National Park), which is 9,3% of the total forest area. These are mainly forest crops, 99% of which are young and medium-aged plantings. The biopotential of scots pine crops in this region is quite high, but the sanitary condition of these stands is extremely poor. In order to improve the sanitary condition of common pine crops in the conditions of both forest-steppe and dry-steppe zones, to increase the biological productivity and stability of pine plantations, there is a need for timely forest pathology examinations with subsequent appointment of sanitary and health measures.

On the zonal ecotone of forest and steppe, there are differences in the radial growth of Scots pine. The dynamics of radial growth of Scots pine in the Orenburg forestry state institution indicates a decrease in the indicator over the years, which is associated with a more arid climate of the steppe zone and partially man-made influence of industrial enterprises in Orenburg. On the contrary, the dynamics of radial growth of Scots pine crops in the Buzuluksky Bor NP increases over the years, which, in our opinion, is due to wetter growing conditions in recent years. Comparing the average radial growth of Scots pine in the zonal ecotone of the forest and steppe, we can note higher rates in the forest zone of the NP "Buzuluksky Bor" and lower – in the steppe zone.

In the conditions of the zonal ecotone of the forest and steppe of the Southern Cis-Urals, the current state of forest ecosystems is characterized, the radial growth of Scots pine is considered as an indicator of the sustainability of plantations. Forest phytocenoses of the Southern Cis-Urals have class 2 and 3 of biological resistance, unfavorable in sanitary terms, which leads to the appearance of permanent foci of mass reproduction of insect pests of leaves and needles. These pests are actually indicators of the sustainability of the forest ecosystem. The plantations are especially strongly weakened in the zone of medium, strong and maximum anthropogenic impact on the environment. Differences in the radial growth of Scots pine are observed in the zonal ecotone of the forest and steppe. The dynamics of the radial growth of Scots pine in the Orenburg forestry indicates a decrease in the indicator over the years, which is interconnected with the dry climate of the steppe zone and partly the technogenic influence of industrial enterprises in Orenburg. The dynamics of the radial growth of Scots pine crops in the national park "Buzuluksky bor", on the contrary, increases over the years, which, in our opinion, is associated with more humid growing conditions in recent years. Comparing the average radial growth of Scots pine in the zonal ecotone of the forest and steppe, one can note higher rates in the forest zone of the national park "Buzuluksky bor" and lower rates in the steppe zone. The main method of collecting information on the state of forest cenoses was a field survey on temporary test areas, which were laid according to standard methods.

The article provides information about the need for environmental education for the development of a harmonious personality of students. With the optimal organization of environmental education, which is carried out by competent teachers with their own eco-culture, it is systematically capable of influencing the knowledge, skills, and abilities of students. Environmental education should be a unified learning process, which includes the assimilation, systematization of knowledge about the environment, the acquisition of skills and knowledge of nature conservation and the formation of a whole eco-culture. We believe that the goal of environmental education should be to develop a critical attitude towards nature. In the process of environmental education, there are three of its components: environmental education; environmental education; environmental education. Environmental education, according to the Federal State Educational Standard, must be implemented in the form of an eco-block of basic educational disciplines, as well as in the form of variable and optional components. Environmental education should be understood as the process of developing an understanding of the environment in a person, understanding the appropriate use of it. In the information age, the timely process of forming a system of society’s worldview, which leads to the harmonization of relations between man and nature, is relevant. In this case, there should be an optimization of the further stability of the ecological situation on Earth. At the heart of eco-upbringing, a number of primary tasks can be noted that form a set of training, upbringing and development. The condition for the completion of the formation of a conscientious attitude towards the natural environment is considered to be moral concern for future generations. The principles of environmental education should guarantee the implementation of uniform requirements for the level of professional competence of future specialists, which are prescribed for each area of training for a bachelor’s, specialist’s or master’s degree. Today, environmental education is the basis for the reform and modernization of higher education.
