Characteristics of Melliferous Lands and Their Fire Hazard in the Jewish Autonomous Region

Beekeeping is an essential economy branch. Therefore, it so important to study the conditions that affect its state. The Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) one of most melliferous regions Far East. main species here linden. Forest fires are a major negative factor in growth linden region under study. research aims at identifying and studying forests, which include linden, suitable for development beekeeping JAR, determining risk fire hazard them. object forests with JAR. Field expedition works were carried out period from 2003 2018. review analysis stands was using 287 geobotanical descriptions sample plots. On basis author’s map vegetation locations presence determined. These assigned four units. predominance plant communities Amur over those Manchurian shown. In 93 does not occur forest, indicates possible succession – gradual replacement other tree species, complete extinction stand future. According Management Department JAR Government Geographic Information System “Fires”, 290 forest occurred region. There information on 104,770 ha disturbed area. largest fire-affected area (50,270 ha) recorded 2018 black birch-oak park type, sometimes (Tilia), larch (Larix), beard lichen-mixed herbs cover mixed reedgrass meadows. trend towards decrease deterioration ecological state and, therefore, depletion region’s base. this regard, needs be protected both regional federal levels. Forests affected by naturalanthropogenic factors leading degradation require continuous monitoring assessment improve as industry. results can used substantiate recommendations protection will useful agencies involved
