The protective forest plantations of the eastern Volga region of the Republic of Tatarstan were investigated. The basic types of protective forest communities of the region were distignguished. The productivity of stands was difined, their condition was described. The authors characterized the biological diversity of forest stands on the level of plant species and ecosystem. The article also describes the types of soil, on which a learned protective forest plant communities of eastern Volga region were raised.

The urgency of the monitoring of forest ecosystem of the Republic of Tatarstan was shown in the artcle. The authors described forest monitoring direction and geographic information system (GIS). The stages of organizing a comprehensive study of forest ecosystems with the use of information technology were reduced. The practical aspects of creating an information database of forest vegetation, fauna, soil of the Republic of Tatarstan were identified.

The article examines the possibility of forecasting the spring wheat the productivity according to the content of mobile forms of phosphorus, potassium, applied amount of mineral and organic fertilizers. Deviation of the projected yield from actual comes to 31%, and the forecasting yield of the moving average drops to 4.6%. During the observation period the spring wheat productivity increased from 11.6 to 18.7 kilogram per hectare, an increase was 7.1 tons per hectare with an average yield of 17.4 tons per hectare. The productivity of spring wheat exhibits a very unstable value, which is evidenced by the high variation coefficient - 43.3%. There is a positive correlation between security soil by phosphorus, potassium and spring wheat yield. It is positive according to phosphorus for the actual and derivative wheat yield, the higher rates of coefficients was according U11. Potassium also has a positive association with yield. However, the correlation coefficients of potassium are higher (0.57-0.0.94), than of phosphorus (0.50-0.84). This fact suggests, that potassium in macroelement is more scarce, than phosphorus. Apparently, this feature of mobile potassium is manifested by solubility characteristics of the potassium compounds in aqueous medium, despite a sufficient amount of its gross shapes in soils. Studies prove once again, that the basis of of productivity formation is security by nutrient macroelements and peculiarities of economic activities. In addition to more accurately actual spring wheat yield it is necessary to attract agro-climatic indicators. The projections data are also a good tool for assessing the economic activity of individual districts, regions, and land users of different levels.
