Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of a unique object of protective steppe afforestation - the Guselsky forest reclamation experimental site, which is a system of protective forest plantings with a total area of 24.5 hectares. Protective plantings have good vitality and support the original dense structure. Analysis of the biometric materials of the sample plots shows that the most stable tree species on the southern chernozems and quite suitable for protective afforestation turned out to be pedunculate oak and white acacia. Under these conditions, they can be used as the main ones, since they have good preservation and valuation indicators. In protective forest plantings, the process of soil leaching is underway, which improves the water-physical, and, consequently, the forest-growing properties of the southern chernozems. Currently, these plantings have both protective and recreational roles due to partial development for low-rise buildings.
