Abstract

The article examines the forest vegetation of the Vorskla River, addressing the issue of spatial differentiation, structure, and dynamics of changes in tree species. Scientific investigation demonstrates that the forest type and the stand’s structure are influenced by ecological factors such as soil type, climate, water regime, and flora and fauna. Within the Vorskla River valley, 27 forest formations with a total area of 72,353.2 hectares (12.8% forest cover) have been identified. Based on morphometric indicators, the forest formations are categorized as follows: 3 large formations, 6 medium-sized formations, 10 small formations, 6 tiny formations, and 1 local formation. The dominant formations are Pineta silvestris covering 34,970.3 hectares (48.33%), Querceta roboris covering 20,693.1 hectares (28.6%), and Alneto glutinosae covering 5,800.2 hectares. The formations with the smallest areas are Ulmeto laevis covering 13.8 hectares (0.02%), Ulmeta glabrae covering 57.09 hectares (0.08%), Saliceta fragilis covering 48.09 hectares (0.07%), Gleditsia triacanthos covering 19.9 hectares (0.03%), Carpineta betuli covering 14.8 hectares (0.02%), Acereta tatarici covering 41.2 hectares (0.06%), and Acerata pseudoplatani covering 18.5 hectares (0.03%). The Piceeta abietis local formation is covering 5.7 hectares (0.01%).
