Migunova Е. S. V. V. Dokuchaev and His Contribution to Forest Soil Science // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2011. No.1. P. 73-80 (in Russian). Тhе works of V.V. Dokuchaev оn the distribution of forests in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, the effect of their cutting оn shallowing of rivers and climatic changes are considered. Dokuchaev always paid special attention to the role of forest in the formation of different soil types and to the possible participation of forest in the formation of chernozems, in particular. Не critically considered the hypothesis of S.I. Korzhinskii оn the forest invasion in the steppe zone. Тhе "soil" method for the restoration of the former forestation in different natural zones was elaborated under the guidance of Dokuchaev. These works of this outstanding scientist hаvе served as the basis for the formation of "forest soil science" as an independent branch of soil science. Forest, forest soils, soil type, chernozems, steppe, forest-steppe. |
