Abstract

Abstract: The results of some sixty year researches concerning the pine plantation formation and development on a dried eutrophic-mesotrophic peatland developed by planting are discussed in paper. It is shown that rich peatlands covering millions of forest hectares and subjected to hydroamelioration are promising for accelerated cultivation of high-tonnage plantings. The growing stock is found out to presumably reach 525 m 3 /ha within 57 year-period of time. No regular thinning is necessary in the process of forest growing, it is only sufficient to remove naturally dried trees.
