Zapotochnyj M. Recreational forest using in northeastern mega hillside Ukrainian Carpathians

The object of study - forest stands northeastern mega hillside Ukrainian Carpathians recreational use. The objectives of study - to determine the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the recreational value of forest ecosystems and to develop measures to optimize the recreational forest. The methods of investigation: Forestry-taksatsiyni, geobotanical, soil, mathematical and statistical. Scientific novelty: the first analyzes the recreational potential of forest ecosystems in the northeast mega hillside Ukrainian Carpathians by species composition and structure of forest stands and the ways and means of improving the attractiveness of plantations in preparing them for intensive recreational use, including the formation of native stands according to forest types, reconstruction Derivatives spruce stands, use lisovidnovnyh logging and logging overhaul, growing mixed stands of different ages based on natural seed regeneration, the transition to a selective system of management; The influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on recreational values of forests. Most significantly reduce the recreational appeal and recreational potential of forest stands flooding, windfalls, erosion, replacement of indigenous plant communities derivatives, clear cutting stands, development of tourism and recreational facilities and related infrastructure, the immediate negative impact of a large number of tourists; the effects of major recreational facilities in forest plantations. In the areas of their deployment is significantly reduced resistance to disease and trees insects pest, disrupted the structure of forest stands, changing areas and numbers of most species of forest fauna, compacted soil. Practical significance: The research results put into production of state enterprises "Vorokhta forestry" and "Solotvyn forestry". Certain provisions used in the Carpathian National University Stefanik students in the study of subjects: "Recreational forestry", "Mountain Forestry" and "recreational facilities". The field of application: forestry.
