only a balance of study and work is required to develop students’ full potential. The necessary conditions for practical training have been created at Boyarka Forest Research Station. The Botanical garden of the University may be called a real students’ instruction laboratory. About 1,000 tree species from various geographical zones have been collected here.

A great deal of scientific work is carried out at the faculty. The scientists study problems on increasing the productivity of Ukrainian forests, reforestation and afforestation, application of means against drought and soil erosion.

The Forestry Faculty cooperates with different higher institutions in the Russian Federation, Baltic countries, Belarus, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Denmark, France,Belgium, etc. It has close relations with Universities in the USA (Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania states) and Germany.

Natural Vegetation Zones of Ukraine”:

TEXT B: FORESTS AND NATURAL VEGETATION ZONES OF UKRAINE

In northern Ukraine the abundant1 rainfall and moderate temperatures provide favourable conditions for forest vegetation. Woodlands alternate with areas of steppe in the central region. The total area of forested land, however, originally was only about 24 million acres (9.7 million hectares), and more than one-third of this has been cleared for cultivation. Most of the rich forestlands are in the Carpathian region of western Ukraine, with forests of poorer quality in the poorly drained Polissya region in northern

Ukraine. There is very little woodland in southern Ukraine, which mostly consists of flat, treeless plains, many of which are under cultivation.

Three natural zones of vegetation are distinguishable from north to south: the Polissia (woodland and marsh), the Forest-steppe, and the Steppe.

The Polissya zone lies in the northwest and north, with an area of about 44,000 square miles, of which more than one-third is arable land. Nearly one-quarter of this land is covered with mixed woodland, including oak, elm, birch, hornbeam, ash, maple, pine, linden, alder, poplar, willow, and beech. About 5 percent is peat bog, a substantial portion is marshland, and the river valleys are floodplains. The Polissya contains the southernmost portions of the Prypiat Marshes, - the thickly forested basin of the Pripiat River (a major tributary of the Dnipro). Ukraine has undertaken major efforts to drain these swamplands and reclaim the land for agriculture. About one-third of this region is woodland, consisting of pine, birch, alder, oak, aspen, white spruce, and hornbeam.

The 78,000-square-mile forest-steppe extends south from the Polissia. Arable land of Kyiv, Poltava, Chernivtsi, Sumy and some other provinces, covers about two-thirds of this agricultural region, forests only about oneeighth. The natural grass and forest vegetation have been very largely removed by plowing, and soil erosion is serious. Mixed forests of the region consist of oak, pine, hornbeam, and maple.

Farther south, near the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, and the Crimean Mountains, the forest-steppe joins the Steppe zone (89,000 square miles). The region has chiefly the grass-steppe vegetation. Only on the Dnipro floodplains are there forest groves, mainly of oak2.

Remnants of the natural vegetation of the Steppe are protected in nature reserves, the largest being the Askaniya-Nova reserve in Kherson region. The low annual precipitation and hot, dry summers in the semiarid Steppe zone make supplemental irrigation necessary.

Three other natural regions are found near the borders of the country: the Carpathians, the Crimean Mountains, and the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula. In the Carpathians the vegetation is located in zones according to altitude. The lower slopes are covered with mixed forests (beech, hornbeam, platan, fir, oak), the intermediate slopes (4,000-5,000 feet) with pine forests; these give way to open Alpine meadows at higher

2 Only on the Dnieper floodplains are there forest groves, mainly of oak.

altitudes, known as “polonyny”, on the summits. In the coastal strip of the

Crimean mountains low-growing forests of oak and juniper grow. The upper strip of the Southern Crimean Coast is covered with forests mostly with beech, hornbeam and maple. A narrow strip of land, only six miles wide, along the southern coast of the Crimea constitutes a unique natural region where both deciduous and evergreen trees, grasses and shrubs grow. The Nikitsky Botanical Garden is located near the city of Yalta. Plants from almost every country in the world are found there. An exceptionally beautiful environment, a warm climate, and the sea make the southern shore of the Crimea one of the finest vacation areas in the world.

Other natural reserves in Ukraine protect segments of the forest-steppe woodland, the marshes and forests of the Polissia, and sites of mountains and the rock coast in the Crimea. Several national parks, including the Carpathian National Park (124,000 acres) and the Shatsky National park (80,200 acres), have also been organized recently.
