Currently, the principle of sustainable use of forests is a fundamental direction in the management of natural resources. Solving the problems of sustainable development of forestry in the European North involves ensuring the quality reproduction of forest resources. The main parts of silvicultural production are procurement and preparation of seeds; growing planting stock, creation of new stands and agricultural tending of them. The goal of the federal project “Forest Conservation” is to ensure the balance of forest felling and reproduction in the ratio of 100 % by 2024. The emphasis is on the use of ball-rooted planting stock for artificial reforestation. Information gap on the long-term prospects of its use, as well as the lack of data on the results of long-term observations of growth and condition of forest crops created by seedlings with a lump of substrate, and comparison of such seedlings with traditional planting stock, especially in northern conditions, update the topic of research. The research purpose is to identify conditions for obtaining high-quality planting stock, as well as to assess the possibility of successful restoration of pine on felling sites in the north of the European part of Russia by creating forest crops using regional intensive technologies, based on the results of long-term technologies. The main objects of observations are nurseries of the region, the procedures used in them and the experimental planting of pine trees in the Kargopol and Arkhangelsk forestries in 2000–2001. Preservation, diameter, height, and volume were determined in dynamics in the areas of crops created from various types of planting stock (seedlings, plantlet, ball-rooted planting stock). The counts were carried out with several repetitions and dividing plants into healthy, weak and dry. Wood flaws of pine trunks were also noted and natural regeneration was recorded. Based on the research materials, the possibility of successful restoration of pine trees on felling sites in the north of the European part of Russia is shown using regional intensive technologies for the production of various planting stock and the creation of forest crops. This will reduce the period of transfer of young trees to natural conditions and increase the productivity of plantations. Comparison of average diameters and heights for all accounting periods indicates the influence of the type of planting stock and density of planting on the growth and development of trees. During the observation period, plantlets lead in all respects. Their height and diameter is 20–44 % higher than that of yearling seedlings, and in terms of stem volume the difference with other types of planting stock reaches 1.9–2.9 times.

The analysis of the level and long-term dynamics of the incidence of ixodic tick-borne borreliosis, the population's appeal for tick bites and the infection of mites with Borrelia burgdorferi sl. in the Moscow, Ryazan and Tula regions. An annual increase in the incidence of Lyme disease in the direction from the south to the north, from the forest-steppe to the southern taiga, was determined, due to the frequency of contacts of the population with Ixodes persulcatus Shulze 1930 and I. ricinus L. 1758. At the same time, a statistically significant relationship between the incidence of mites infection and the incidence of Lyme disease in The studied regions are not observed. The obtained results testify to a tense epidemic situation in the center of the European part of Russia and the need to implement all components of surveillance for the natural foci of the Lyme disease.

The results of a sintaxonomical study of plant communities of the Yamozero lake (the North-East of the European part of Russia) are presented. The diversity of the aquatic and helophytic vegetation of the Yamozero lake consists of 16 associations and 2 communities of 6 unions, 4 orders and 2 classes of the floristic classification: Potamogetonetea (7 associations, 2 communities), Phragmito-Magnocaricetea (9 associations). Many of described associations are widely distributed in the Central and the Eastern Europe. Some associations have the boundaries of their ranges. Some communities include 2 rare species of regional level: Isoetes setacea and Sagittaria natans.

The paper describes the methodology and presents the results of the calculation of the spectral characteristics of the terrain for the territory of the Bolshezemelskaya and Malozemelskaya Tundra (the north of the European part of Russia). There are nine terrain clusters, differing in the topographic dissection pattern. Their geomorphological interpretation is given. Three clusters characterize mountainous and coarsely hilly terrain with the depth of dissection from 150 m and more. The others are low and elevated terrains with much lower depths of dissection (up to 50 m) and different patterns of interposition of landforms.

The spatio-temporal variability of the average values of temperature indices of climate extremity in the territory of the European part of Russia (ER) in 1980-2019 is presented. To calculate the extremeness indices, we used hourly data on the maximum and minimum temperatures obtained using the ERA5 reanalysis on a 1°´1° spatial grid. Statistical processing of the index values revealed an increase in the temperature indices TNX, TNN, TXN, TXX, associated with the minimum and maximum temperatures, with the exception of the north and southeast of the region. An increase in the number of sunny days and a decrease in the number of frosty days were also revealed.

New data on 22 species of bees of the family Megachilidae from the North Caucasus and the south of European Russia are reported. Six species are new to Russia: Hoplitis curvipes (Morawitz, 1871), Osmia cinerea Warncke, 1988, O. ligurica Morawitz, 1868, O. cyanoxantha Pérez, 1879, Protosmia glutinosa (Giraud, 1871), and Coelioxys mielbergi Morawitz, 1880. Hoplitis turcestanica (Dalla Torre, 1896), sp. resurr. is treated as a distinct species, not a junior synonym of H. caularis (Morawitz, 1875). Megachile albocristata Smith, 1853 and M. alborufa Friese, 1911 are listed instead of previously recorded M. lefebvrei (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) and M. pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), respectively. Fourteen new regional records are reported: seven species are new to the North Caucasus, five ones are new to the south of European Russia, and two species are new to the European part of Russia as a whole. The numbers of megachilid bee species currently known in Russia, the North Caucasus, and the south of European Russia are 217, 130, and 71, respectively. The lectotype of Osmia proxima Morawitz, 1875 is designated.

As a result of laboratory tests were obtained values of the coefficient thermal conductivity (Keff) of new snow for different types of the solid precipitation: plates, needles, stellars, graupels. Snow samples were collected during a snowfall and placed in the freezer. For all types of sediment thermal conductivity of snow is equal to 0.03–0.04 W/m·°C. Transformation of new snow occurs within 10 days at average temperature −10 °C and the gradient temperature of 50–60 °C/m. Under these conditions, the metamorphism leads to an increase the density of snow, size of grains and rounded snow particles. At the beginning of the experiment, the thermal conductivity of snow is linearly increased in proportion to the density of the snow. However, after 3–5 days Keff stabilized at about 0.08–0.09 W/m·°C, although the density of the snow and size of grains continued to increase. This effect occurs with the appearance of faceted crystals and loosening of snow. In the future, while maintaining a negative temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity remained unchanged. Thus, the temperature gradient metamorphism affect to the thermal conductivity snow, which plays an important role in maintaining the thermal insulation properties of snow cover. The article describes the formula to calculate the thermal conductivity of the snow conditions in the temperature gradient metamorphism. Such conditions are characteristic of the vast expanses of the north and northeast of the European part of Russia. On the basis of long-term observations in Moscow shows the average minimum and maximum values for the density of the snow woods and fields on the basis of which can be calculated for the thermal properties of the snow.
