Analysis of the insect-xylophagous complex of coniferous plantations of the State Institution "Aldanskoye Forestry" of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Fires are the main factor in the weakening of plantings. In weakened plantations, foci of stem pests are formed. The study of the formation of foci of stem pests is relevant, because on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), studies on this issue are quite rare. The research was carried out in spruce plantations, where a low-level runaway fire was noted in 2008 and later a focus of stem pests began to develop.
