Abstract
The paper presents the results of inventory of drained peatlands and survey of hydroforest-reclamation systems that were transferred to the forest fund after the termination of agricultural and industrial enterprises. It has been established that currently the majority of hydro-forest-reclamation systems in the forest fund of the Republic of Belarus are inoperative and represent swampy and naturally overgrown territory with trees and shrub vegetation. The problem is indicated in reduction of volumes or complete cessation of economic activity on the territory of the entire forest ameliorative fund of Belarus on maintenance of hydromeliorative objects. It is shown that for the period of 2008–2018, 1550,7 ha of peat areas withdrawn from agricultural turnover and 4444,5 ha of depleted peat areas from industrial enterprises were transferred. The Strategy and Scheme of sustainable use of lands with altered hydrological regime within the forest fund of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Belarus were developed.
