The article considers the problem of radiation pollution, which requires constant research, monitoring, and control. The safety and health of the population, the environment, and the possibility of sustainable development and restoration of natural capacity depend on this topical issue. The paper analyzes the problems of forest use in radiation-contaminated areas and examines the current environmental condition in forest areas of the exclusion zone. The forest use in radioactively contaminated areas is established to be associated with the use of forest resources and functions of forest ecosystems, taking into account the degree of radioactive contamination. Its main goal is to obtain clean products with economic benefits over total environmental, economic, and social costs. Prolonged radioactive contamination of forestry lands, slow self-clearing of forests, and legal restrictions on forest management in conditions of radioactive contamination have determined the special forestry conditions in such areas. Thus, the need to overcome the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster as well as rehabilitation and sustainable development of radioactively contaminated areas determine the study of criteria that are important when choosing a strategy for forest management in environmentally problematic regions. The issue of the consequences of forest fires in the Chornobyl zone is revealed. Emphasis is placed on the issue of environmental and economic principles of assessing the efficiency of forest management in radioactively contaminated areas, which, in contrast to the existing ones, are based on taking into account the peculiarities of forest management in such areas. The dynamics of forest reproduction in the context of the last decade is presented. A model of forestry development in areas contaminated with radionuclides is proposed. |
