Abstract

In this article shows the results of the research of forest fund of Bugulma-Belebey hill. It was established that modern character of forest vegetation is defined by elevation of territory, complexity of soil cover and strong influence of anthropogenic activities. Forest fund is characterized by excess of broadleaved woodland with good silvicultural-survey indexes, but with affected age-related structure. Squares of greenbelt forests is within range of 9.8 to 26.9% of whole square of forests. The mature and maturing pine and oak forests are characterized by low prosperity of young growth of mother species. Artificial ecosystems (up to 24% of forest square) are mainly presented by stands of high-productivity pine and birch. Involving the recreational potential of Bugulma-Belebey hill forests into the general system of touristic and recreational complex, we can highly increase its investive attraction.
