The relevance of the topic – the negative impact of ungulates on the undergrowth of the most valuable tree species in recent years has increasingly attracted the attention of biologists and ecologists. Goal – to assess the influence of ungulates-dendrophages on the state of undergrowth of valuable tree species on the territory of the OOOIR "Fauna" of the Khasansky district of Primorsky Krai.
Research methods – assessment of the degree of damage to the undergrowth of valuable tree species was carried out at 20 accounting sites, the length of accounting routes for counting defecations of wild ungulates ranged from 300 to 1600 meters. During the spring accounting works of 2019-2020, 44.47 km of accounting routes were completed. Wild hoofed animals of roe deer and deer were counted on the allocated 3 blocks of the Kraskinsky forestry.
The results of the work and discussion – on the territory of the studied farm, the species composition of ungulates-dendrophages, represented by two species: spotted deer (Cervus nipponhortulorum Swinhoe, 1864) and roe deer (Capreolus pegarcusbedfordi Thomas, 1908).
Their main habitats are mountain oak forests (dry), mountain hazel oak forests (wet) and shrub-grass oak forests (fresh). In all the studied species of woody plants in the undergrowth, there is an increase in the height of damaged shoots at the age of 8-10 years, and then, from the age of 11, there is a decrease in the height of damaged shoots, which is explained by their lignification and accessibility to biting. Ungulates-dendrophages damage up to 70% of undergrowth and young. In order to minimize the damage caused to forest ecosystems, it is necessary to organize feeding grounds at a distance remote from sites with a reliable forest.
