FRONTIER TECHNIQUE OF CREATING PROTECTIVE FORESTS STANDS AROUND NURSERIES ON INEFFICIENT SITES: TECHNOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS

Abstract

The technique can be used in forestry when creating and modeling protective forest stands around nursery’s objects. The equipment is designed for sites that are difficult to restore or inaccessible to ground-based mechanization and human means. Hard-to-recover sites are defined as: 1) released as a result of deforestation, including fire, ineffective for the operational technology of ground-based sowing or planting; 2) released as a result of fires, ineffective for the operational technology of ground seeding or planting; 3) inaccessible to ground-based mechanization facilities for climatic and geomorphological reasons; 4) inaccessible to people due to the complication of the radiation background and (or) after man-made disasters. The technique provides for accelerating the process of creating forests and improving environmental safety for the environment by reducing the number of operations that violate the forest ecosystem, using environmentally friendly energy sources in unmanned aerial vehicles, equipment and devices used in all groups of operations, improving environmental safety for humans by enabling the implementation of the method without the presence of an operator directly at the site of the groups of operations, reducing the cost of performing energy-intensive and time-consuming operations for preparing sites, transportation of forest reproductive material to the place of preliminary preparation and back
