@article{Migunova_2018, title={FOREST TYPOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND WAYS OF ITS IMPROVEMENT}, url={http://forestry-forestmelioration.org.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/132}, abstractNote={<p>The forest typology as a special direction of theoretical forestry was created on the national knowledge of the forest nature collected by Russian foresters at a turn of the XIX-XX centuries and generalized by G. F. Morozov in the theory of interrelations of the forest and its environment or <strong><em>the theory of the types of plantings. </em></strong>A. A. Krudener, the leading forest manager, who studied the national knowledge like the tales and epics were studied, identified “type of plantation” taxon as a <strong><em>unity of climate, soil and vegetation community</em></strong> and gave the first ever scientific definition of the ecosystem. Following the popular postulate "<strong><em>what is the soil of earth, so is the forest</em></strong>", he developed an interfaced classification of forests and soils, in which the forests are placed <strong><em>on the buildup of soil fertility</em></strong>. P. S. Pogrebnyak transformed the central fragment of the Krudener’s table to the compact classification model in richness (nutrient status) and watering of earth coordinates, called <strong><em>edaphic grid</em></strong>.</p> <p>A number of regulations of this theory require improvement. The type of habitat was called by Vorobyov the type of forest site and identified as the largest taxon. He claimed that <strong><em>at one type of forest site</em></strong> the climate may be different. In different climates there are similar, but <strong><em>not identical</em></strong> types of habitats.</p> <p>Forestry has to be managed taking into account two features of the environmental conditions - <strong><em>the zonality</em></strong> caused by climate and <strong><em>intra-zonal variety</em></strong> connected with the differences of composition and structure (topography) of the surface depositions - and be organized according to the most perfect scenario, on the <strong><em>zonal-typological basis</em></strong>.</p> <p>Forest typology of Morozov-Krudener-Pogrebnyak is an outstanding scientific achievement of Russian and Ukrainian foresters. It is supposed that over time its principles will be the basis for different natural sciences.</p>}, number={127}, journal={Forestry and Forest Melioration}, author={Migunova, E.
