Description
Summary:The role of forests in shaping sustainable use of nature is crucial. One of the main factors in regulating the effects of global warming is the positive impact of forest plantations in the formation of climatic conditions on adjacent agricultural land. The main purpose of our study was to investigate the impact of deforestation on crop yields in Ukraine on the basis of the correlation method, and to outline the economic consequences of such interaction. Deforestation leads to a deterioration of the microclimatic conditions of agricultural production, farmers have to increase the rate of fertilizer application, to solve the problem of optimizing the water regime of the soil, which ultimately has the effect of increasing the cost of growing crops. Based on the calculations, it was proved that crop yields increase with decreasing forest cover (R = 0.58 – 0.61), the reason for this being an increase in fertilizer application volumes (R = 0.72).
