ENSURING ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS ON DISTURBED LANDS WITH UNAUTHORIZED AMBER MINING

Human activity is connected with the use of natural resources and conditions. The result of the intensive use of certain types of resources is the formation of disturbed and degraded lands, the change of natural landscapes. Negative changes in the natural state of land resources, the formation of degraded lands occur both as a result of economic activity and as a result of the action of natural factors. 316 A number of measures are used to restore unproductive, degraded, technologically polluted and disturbed lands. The complex of organizational, economic, technical and biological measures is determined by the factors that cause the occurrence of violations and the subsequent type of land use. Restoration and improvement of the land cover is carried out through its reclamation. This article describes and reveals the essence of the reclamation of produced peat deposits by its afforestation[1]. Reclamation of disturbed lands is a complex of organizational, technical and biotechnological measures aimed at restoring the soil cover, improving the condition and productivity of disturbed lands [2]. Land disturbance occurs during the development of mineral deposits, geological exploration, research, construction and other works, as well as due to the harmful effects of water. At the same time, the soil cover is disturbed or destroyed, the hydrological regime changes, man-made relief is formed, etc. As a result of land reclamation, agricultural and forest lands, reservoirs for various
