Abstract

The article discusses the best practices aimed at preventing, reducing and restoring biodiversity on disturbed lands. The ecological load on land resources has an impact on their natural and climatic features, which leads to a violation of the imbalance of nutrients and soil fertility, as well as the loss of organic carbon. This is especially true in the territories where hydrocarbon production takes place. The consequence of such processes is an increase in the area of disturbed lands, which lead not only to the destruction of terrestrial, soil and aquatic habitats of living organisms, but also to anthropogenic impact on the environment. In modern conditions of climatic turbulence, the study of existing practices for the rehabilitation of disturbed lands, as well as the proposal and justification of fundamentally new practices aimed not only at restoring and maintaining biodiversity, but also at increasing the ecological potential in terms of increased. Climate reforestation projects can reduce the negative effects of disturbed lands, on the one hand, and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, on the other. The payback period for reforestation projects on disturbed lands does not exceed 10 years, which makes them attractive for investors.
