CONVERSION COEFFICIENTS FOR CALCULATING CARBON DIOXIDE ABSORPTION DURING REFORESTATION AND AFFORESTATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE VORONEZH REGION)

As a result of this work, conversion coefficients have been obtained, with the help of which it is possible to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide absorption during reforestation or reforestation per 1 hectare of land for the period from the beginning of reforestation until the transfer of these areas to the category of land covered with forest vegetation. All methods of reforestation (artificial and natural) for all the main breeds of the Voronezh region are considered. Within the framework of artificial reforestation, coefficients were obtained for 1 ha of forest crops when planted with an open and closed root system. When calculating the coefficients for young plants of natural origin, the timing of overgrowth of cuttings and harems, and the presence of preliminary renewal were tak-en into account.
