The Lenin area the biggest and droughty in the Autonomous Republic Crimea. The area of the woods in the area – four thousand hectares. In 1950 in its territory began to land the artificial woods. Need for them arose because of dominating east winds which blow a fertile layer of earth, wood strips and the man-made woods should protect fields from a wind erosion.
After disorder of the Soviet Union of landing of the wood and forest belts stopped. In 2006 the Program Wood of Ukraine was developed and funds are allocated for a lesorazvedeniye and reforestation.
In the autumn of 2006 the Lenin state timber enterprise was headed by Novikov Alexey Nikolaevich and at once got into gear on implementation of the Program. Then 30 hectares of the wood were planted. In the spring of 2007 within the All Ukraine action The wood future in your hands is already planted 45 hectares of a pine Crimean and the Sucker silvery. Many enterprises and area schools took part in landing.
The wood lands according to technology. Before disembarkation roots of a landing material are processed teravity that the plant didn’t dry up in the hot summer. On skilled sites the silicon and organic preparations which are also promoting the best prizhivayemost of saplings are applied.
Wood landing – very labor-intensive process. To plant the wood – means to make only 30 % of all operations. To grow up it, it is necessary to carry out a set of other technological operations. This year there was a new problem – on young landings flights of a cormorant ordinary snatched. Cormorants pull out saplings of a pine Crimean and use them as a construction material for nests. Nests arrange on tops of pines. 22 hectares of young landings of the wood are at present destroyed, and number of cormorants makes 500 thousand pieces. They breed with catastrophic speed – deduces posterity two times a year to 8 baby birds in one brood. On places of nestings the wood dead, the pine costs white from their excrements. From the lost trees cormorants move on new landings. 197 hectares of the wood are already destroyed.
At the initiative of the director of Lenin timber enterprise to the area scientists for definition left how to struggle with cormorants. Scientists drew up the statement of destruction of the wood and young landings, advised to struggle with cormorants by means of sound effects, salutes. All methods are already used, and the effect isn’t present.
Can solutions of this problem ecologists will prompt?
