Abstract

By a case study of several regions that belong to the Nonblack Soil Zone of Russia, the authors analyze physical, agrochemical, and spatial characteristics of lands withdrawn from agriculture. Prospects for setting up agroforestry farms on such lands are considered. Generalized data on the condition, growth, and productivity of forest crops (Scots pines) planted on lands with long-term agricultural use are given.
