JUSTIFICATION OF THE NEED FOR MEASURES THAT ENSURE INTENSIVE FOREST REGENERATION BASED ON SELECTION AND SEED PRODUCTION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ARKHANGELSK REGION)

The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of forest seed production in the Arkhangelsk Region and to formulate measures to ensure the development of the forest seed base. The existing seed base is insufficient to fully meet the needs of the forestry sector for seeds with improved hereditary properties. The study highlights the importance of modernizing forest seed production facilities, which will include increasing their number and implementing scientific developments in practice.
