Dead wood in green zones and their forested areas

Abstract

Currently, dead wood is an integral component of forested areas. The demise of trees occurs due to various factors, whether it be old age or weather-related events. With the passage of time, trees dry up, fall to the ground, and slowly decompose. The process of complete decomposition, depending on the climate and tree species, takes decades. Modern forest management practices in Ukraine require maintaining the appropriate sanitary condition of forests. This is reflected in numerous regulatory acts. Thus, the removal and transportation of dead wood from forests and their woodland park sections take place.
