Abstract

This paper reviews the historical use of agro-ameliorative and protective afforestation to combat drought and desertification in agricultural lands. It shows the current state of forest plantations in the arid zone of the Russian Federation and problems associated with wind erosion on pastures. Russia is facing a major ecological and economic challenge due to a growing intensity of development of recurring droughts, dry winds, erosion, wind erosion, and the level of protective afforestation as a branch of the national economy overall and a subdiscipline of science, in particular. This requires adequate public policy decisions, which are stated in the “Strategy for Development of Protective Afforestation in Russia until 2025.” The Strategy determines their direction, as well as volumes and types of the plantations for the period until 2025 and a longer-term perspective on lands from the forest ameliorative fund. This review considers the causes of agro-landscape desertification associated with climate and anthropogenic factors and outlines the countermeasures and technologies for combating this phenomenon.

保护性造林在农业景观干旱和荒漠化防治中的作用

摘要

本文回顾了农业改良和保护性造林在抗击农业用地干旱和荒漠化方面的历史应用。它显示了俄罗斯联邦干旱地区人工林的现状以及与草场风蚀有关的问题。由于经常性干旱、干燥风、侵蚀、风蚀的发展强度越来越大，以及保护性造林作为国民经济整体的一个分支，尤其是科学的一个分支学科，俄罗斯正面临着重大的生态和经济挑战. 这需要适当的公共政策决定，这在“2025 年之前俄罗斯保护性造林发展战略”中有所规定。战略决定了他们的方向，以及到 2025 年期间种植园的数量和类型，以及森林改良基金对土地的长期展望。本综述考虑了与气候和人为因素相关的农业景观荒漠化的原因，并概述了应对这一现象的对策和技术。
