“…According to data from the space monitoring of the forest zone of the Russian Federation, not only the area covered by forests is decreasing, but also the species composition is changing-the share of deciduous species is increasing [7]. As a result of large-scale clearcutting that took place in the second half of the 20th century, secondary forests now prevail in the Russian part of Fennoscandia.…”

The article aims to describe the patterns of changes in the number of vascular plant species in communities at different stages of forest regeneration after clearcutting using the space-for-time substitution method. Large-scale logging in boreal forests leads to a simplification of the territory’s forest cover (the formation of even-aged stands), which in turn leads to a decrease in the diversity of forest communities and species diversity. These tendencies have been confirmed for many groups of organisms, especially those associated with old trees and dead wood; however, this is not so clear for vascular plants. We investigated plant communities at different stages of regeneration. We used the so-called space-for-time substitution (chronosequence) method of building dynamic series for four forest ecotopes, where industrial clearcuts are most actively carried out. We showed that the fertility of forest ecotopes determines the species pool—the richer the conditions, the more species that can potentially inhabit the community. At the same time, the structure of the tree stand significantly affects the composition and number of species in the community. The lowest species richness was in old-growth forests characterized by the dominance of one species in the tree stand and one or two vascular plant species in the ground cover. With insignificant fluctuations in the average number of species between stages of forest regeneration after logging, some communities at clearcuts in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst.) forests have high species diversity due to the occupation of the site by species of open habitats. These clearcuts are located not far from settlements and close to roads.

The solution to the problem of monitoring the railway track, as well as potentially dangerous objects and phenomena in the adjacent territories, is determined by the need to implement increased requirements for traffic safety (primarily to the geometric parameters of the devices of a long railway track under construction and functioning load-bearing highways), prevention of technological disasters and large-scale negative effects of natural phenomena on the railways. The continuous process of integrating methods and means of monitoring and preventing emergencies into a single information management system is shown. The possibility of determining a dynamic model of the adverse effect of the train on the track and the most unfavorable for the track train and traction parameters, which must be avoided when forming trains in this section, is established. Three key factors are formulated, the use of which will reduce the negative impact on the track from trains. The concept of information technology improvement of the monitoring system for potentially dangerous sections of the railway on the basis of new innovative technologies has been developed.
