Expedition Department of Forestry and tending to the taiga regions of Western Siberia

Employees of the Department of Forestry and forest tending VNIILM FBI and the Department of Forestry at Tomsk State University held a joint expedition to study the natural regeneration of the forest after clear-cutting in the southern and middle taiga in West Siberia in Pershamaiski and Verkhneketsky regions of Tomsk region. The expedition took place in remote areas where harvesting is possible only in winter conditions at logging sites, which are between 15 and 50 km from the nearest towns. Due to the difficult accessibility of facilities, a strong wetland had to use all-terrain vehicles all-terrain-based military equipment.

During the expedition, for ten days, was able to collect experimental data on the processes of natural regeneration after clearcutting in different typological conditions of the southern taiga and middle taiga regions of Western Siberia.

Processing of the data obtained during the expedition, will develop proposals to improve the measures to promote natural regeneration after clearcutting.

We express our gratitude to the management of the Forestry Department of the Tomsk region and the forest of "Tomlesdrev" for their help in organizing the expedition and to create the conditions for the execution of research work in the concession area.
