Forest Stand Reproduction in the Changing Climate Conditions on the Example of the Bashkortostan Republic

Abstract

The paper considers the issues of forest reproduction by plantation type based on selection and genetic approaches in forest cultivation and forest seed production. The research explores the growth condition and regularities of common pine plus-trees, the best individuals with high-quality genetically determined traits for creating seed and vegetative seed plantations and further conducting breeding work are identified. There are findings on the genetic variability of trees on forest-seed plantations by ISSR markers on the example of common pine, identifying the existing gene pool of this species. Studies of forest reproduction by plantation type conducted throughout one republic or the planet as a whole provide preconditions for its improvement and higher efficiency of silvicultural works. Scientific and environmental institutions and authorities should join their efforts to develop effective measures to compensate for reforestation forest management.
