“…Multifunctional forestry is a relevant and modern area of forestry development and one of the main concepts that guide the European community (Pohjanmies et al, 2021;Romabai et al, 2022). Despite of widespread acceptance of the general concept, there is a lack of consistency in terminology definitions, forest policies in this area, and communication Currently, the main object of farming in the forests of Ukraine is harvesting the trunk part of a tree.…”

“…In comparison, agroforestry research in boreal settings is minimal. Peer-reviewed studies on boreal agroforestry have examined silviculture-an agroforestry practice that controls forest growth and structure to produce value-added products-such as for timber, biofuel [8,9], and non-timber forest products [10]. In our study site, agroforestry was initially utilized in the form of a shelterbelt to protect bean and potato crops from cold wind [11].…”

Soil Nutrient Supply in Cultivated Bush Bean–Potato Intercropping Grown in Subarctic Soil Managed with Agroforestry

2021

To address food insecurity in northern Canada, some isolated communities started gardening initiatives to reduce dependencies on expensive foods flown in to communities. From 2012–2014, soils in northern Ontario James Bay lowlands were cultivated with bush beans and potatoes, grown in sole and intercropping configurations, in an open field and an agroforestry system enclosed by willow trees. The objective of this study was to compare the supply rates of 15 plant-available nutrients in these soils using in situ ion exchange membranes. After three years of cultivation, the agroforestry site had significantly greater supply of PO4, Ca, and Zn and these nutrients had positive correlations with yield. By contrast, the open site had significantly greater supply of Mg, SO4, and B; these nutrients, and Al, had negative correlations with yield. Whilst there were no differences between sole and intercropping configurations, significantly greater supply of NO3, Ca, Cu, Fe, and Zn occurred early in the growing season, compared to significantly greater supply of K, SO4, B, and Al later in the season. Significantly greater yields have been harvested in the agroforestry site and it is suspected that the presence of a willow shelterbelt improves the microclimate and plant-available PO4, Ca, and Zn.

In the forests of Ukraine, forestry should be carried out on the principles of continuous and rational use of forests through integrated usage of their resources. Thus, there is a need to distinguish and correctly understand the forestry terms. To harmonize terminology, relevant regulations, as well as Ukrainian and foreign literature, were examined. General scientific theoretical methods – analysis and synthesis – were applied to work with information sources. The paper substantiats the employment and understanding of terminology related to the usage of forest resources. The definition and interpretation of the terms “secondary forest use”, “non-tree forest resources”, “non-timber forest resources” in current legislative and regulatory acts, the explanatory dictionary of the Ukrainian language, the state standard of Ukraine, the Ukrainian encyclopedia of forestry, Ukrainian and foreign forestry literature were summarized. The authors proposes to divide forest resources into woody, non-tree, and non-timber ones, followed by coordination of such classification among forestry scientists and practitioners. The largest volumes of harvesting among secondary forest materials and secondary forest uses for 2010-2020 were established. The distribution of income received according to types of non-timber products of the forest and in the context of regional departments of forestry and hunting for 2021 was analysed. The paper presents the types of wild fruit, medicinal plants and mushrooms common in Ukraine. Promising species for plantation cultivation were proposed. Areas of obtaining added income from the sale of non-timber products of forests were generalized. The analysis and prospects of using non-timber forest products, which can serve as a theoretical and practical basis for sustainable management of multifunctional forestry in Ukraine, were presented. The obtained results can be used for harvesting non-timber products of forests, considering the regional characteristics of the country
