Abstract
Work has been carried out on the study of forest areas located on the territory of Northern Kazakhstan. The study of the soil was carried out by the method of laying soil sections and semi-sections with a description of the power of horizons. The soil structure was determined by the method of splitting soil samples. The determination of the granulometric composition was carried out by a wet method with a division into the sand, sandy loam, light loam, medium loam, heavy loam, and clay. According to the structure and chemical analysis, the types of soils for each forestry are determined. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were developed for the categories of areas. The areas of plots Suitable for all major forest species and areas with existing forests and forest crops overgrew with self-seeding were also determined. During the reconnaissance route-loop survey of land plots, types of plant associations were identified. A comprehensive ecological and geographical study the forestry was carried out to carry out afforestation work. Mainly, the identification of types of plant associations made it possible to conduct a preliminary assessment on the ground about the quality of the studied sites for the restoration of forests.
