Abstract

The consequences of carrying out alternate strip fellings in mature and overmature secondary growth birch forests afer using the LP-19 felling and bunching machine are analyzed. It was found that the strips of birch forest 10…15 m wide left for completion of growing after the first stage alternate strip felling are not damaged by the wind, and due to side lighting, a second growth of spruce and fir undergrowth is formed there. It is shown that due to the high proportion of skidding tracks and destruction of the coniferous undergrowth due to the preliminary alternate strip logging, deciduous young forest growth are formed on the cut-down areas. It is recommended to give preference to traditional cutting technologies when carrying out alternate strip logging, and when using the LP-19 feller-buncher machine, logging should be carried out in winter in order to minimize the negative effect on the soil and maximize the preservation of coniferous undergrowth. Compliance with these recommendations will make it possible to transform mature and overmature secondary growth birch forests into primary conifers without artificial reforestation.
