Abstract
The results of a 60-year experience on the effect of thinning on the stability and productivity of the stand of English oak of artificial origin in the Tellerman experimental forestry of the Institute of Forestry of the Russian Academy of Sciences have been summed up. Cleaning cuttings was carried out on permanent trial plots in 2 ways - by the grassroots method and by method of V.G. Nesterov with an intensity of up to 35% in stock 3 times. In the long-term dynamics, the ranking of stands on the average height and diameter, the number of trunks and the sum of cross-sectional areas, stock and total productivity, given by the intensity and the method of thinning, was mainly preserved. With increasing felling intensity, regardless of their method, relative increment and change in the stock have increased. In conditions of periodic moisture deficiency and accompanying damage to the leaves by insects, the stands could not restore previous trajectory of stock after the third felling. After 60 years of age, the stock of forest stands has not practically increased. Regardless of the intensity and the method, cleaning cutting contributed to the stability of growth rate of the stands. In the control, the stock decreased as a result of wave detachment, including large trunks. The stock of large trunks by the age of 80 years in the options with cutting was higher than in control one by an average of 17%. In order to reduce the risk of stock reduction by the age of ripeness in the upland oak forests of the southern forest-steppe, it is recommended to limit the period of intensive cutting up to 40 years. In this case, the trees will be able to form well-developed crowns at the end of the period of rapid growth. During unfavorable periods there is a decrease in the productivity of plantations and a decrease in the effect of thinning, which is important to take into account when predicting the growth of stands.
Highlights
Группа интенсивностиЧ. контрольного) увеличивался с возрастом: после рубок 1-го приёма к I классу относились только древостои на ППП 2 и 7, а остальные – ко II классу.
В 40-летнем возрасте – древостои на всех площадях, кроме ППП 6, относились к I классу, а последняя – ко II классу бонитета.
По опубликованным данным [6], средний диаметр древостоев к 3-му приёму рубки (за 19541975 гг.) увеличился в 2,1-2,4 раза, тем больше, чем выше интенсивность рубок (коэффициент корелляции r = 0.50).

Через 10 лет после 3-го приёма рубок более низкие показатели зафиксированы лишь на ППП 6, где густота была наибольшей. Известно влияние интенсивности рубок ухода на средний диаметр крон и взаимосвязь диаметра крон и диаметра ствола дуба черешчатого [9, 11].
