Infertile and Less Infertile Forest Types in the Ukrainian Carpathians: Classification and Complementation

Forest typology is yet to get sufficiently integrated into related ecological and geographical sciences. The succession of plant phytocenoses necessitates constant adjustments forest types. discussed studies have been conducted improve the classification types in Ukrainian Carpathians bring description closer actual distribution vegetation within studied area. paper provides a detailed analysis research for area during late 20th early 21st century. fund areas Carpathian region, which are subordinated State Agency Resources Ukraine, classified by Total subor coniferous 1,493.1 ha 28,910.2 ha, respectively. study involved establishing permanent sample plots on territory nature protection institutions management enterprises. According findings, it proposed complement type as defined Z.Yu. Herushynskyi with following types: fresh pine type, wet type. defines main diagnostic features suggested These can be clearly distinguished from other soil hydrological conditions, used describe corresponding correctness definition new confirmed set indicator species that identified relevant areas. findings provide better understanding ecology make significant contribution Carpathians. Another step towards researching patterns establishment complexes has taken. formations presented more detail typological science
