On the issue of restoration of forest areas damaged by fires

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of restoration of forest areas damaged by fires. Forest fires cause not only environmental, but also material damage. If it is almost impossible to compensate for the environmental damage caused by the ingress of combustion products into the atmosphere, then restoring forest resources is a feasible task. Currently, the same technologies are used for reforestation in fire-damaged forest and burnt areas as for reforestation in forest sites after deforestation. However, their efficiency, taking into account natural and industrial conditions, is often not at the highest level. The aggravation of the problem of forest fires necessitates the use of highly effective domestic methods and technical means for reforestation after fires. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of technical development of domestic modern methods and technical means of restoring forest areas damaged by fires. In the course of the patent information search and analysis of scientific and technical literature, modern methods and technical means for restoring forest plantations in areas damaged by fires were studied, and the collected information was analyzed. The effectiveness of the use of a mulch working body for the preliminary preparation of a forest area disturbed by fires is noted.
