Generalization of the experience of practical implementation of the current regulatory framework reforestation suggests that their use in the current version will not contribute to the conservation of plants, increase their productivity and protective role. There are no ways to restore black alder plantations, no standards for planting material and requirements of young animals, the area of which shall be charged to the lands is covered with forest vegetation. We analyzed the impact of agricultural practices, methods of creation, composition and density on survival, growth, productivity of plantations in the experience forest cultures sampling area (13 areas). The results of research were a scientific basis for the development of a regional process flowsheet development of silvicultural areas. In order to clarify and supplement certain provisions of the framework regulations of thinning, we analyzed the results of experimental logging, tasks of which are differentiated. Their effectiveness is determined by the rate of silvicultural stock recovery. In pure stands the optimal conditions for the development of trees at a young age are formed in high density, so thinning is necessary to start from thinnings. Mixed stands are characterized by low redox potential (recovery of the stock occurs only with a decrease the proportion of willow and intensity of cutting up to 20%) and lower total productivity (to 10.3-45.7% with a decrease in the proportion of willow and 45.7% - in its increase). Mode of logging in them should ensure the formation of pure stands. The regional experience of afforestation and the test results of different modes of thinning are the scientific basis for improving the existing “Reforestation regulations” and “Rules of forest tending”, and for the creation of a regional reforestation program.
