AGROECOLOGICAL ROLE OF PROTECTIVE PLANTATIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CENTRAL FOREST-STEPPE OF RUSSIA

Protective planting systems play a significant agroecological role. In winter, redistribution of snow cover in landscapes is observed. The most uniform snow distribution occurs among plantings with greater wind permeability in the lower part of the vertical profile. During the vegetation period, plantings at lower temperatures exhibit an insignificant warming effect and in hot dry periods of time, a decrease in the temperature regime of air masses in strip zones with an increase in the humidity of the ground air layer is observed. Changes in the microclimate in the landscape have a positive effect on increasing the bioproductivity of artificial cenoses.
