At the territories of
three key sites with different environmental conditions (coast of Irkutsk
Reservoir, the Goloustnaya River basin, surroundings of Gakhany settlement in60 kmnorthward from the
urbanized area Ust’-Orda, Irkutsk Region), we performed studies aimed to reveal
the structural-dynamic organization and trends of forests reconstitution at the
places of burnt areas and of cuttings of different targets. We took into account
the character of impact of anthropogenic factors due to modern land use in the
region, in particular. A considerable limitation of cuttings during last
decades and decrease of areas was designed for agriculture and pasture on the background of climate
dynamics and variability in the region during last years.
