Abstract
During fires in coniferous forests under the influence of the pyrogenic factor the temperature above the soil reaches 800–900°C. The temperature in the soil at depth of 3–5 cm was 95°C, at soil depth of 7 cm it was 70°C. Forest litter was burned almost completely. It is insufficient information about the efficiency of preplanting root treatment of seedlings plants with mycorrhizal fungi. The aim of the study was to improve the technology of growing pine forest plantations on the forest burned areas using mycorrhizal root treatment. To treat the roots of pine seedlings authors used the concentrate of mycelium mycorrhizal fungi Suillus luteus and Amanita muscaria production by lab «MYKOFLOR» (Poland). When creating a pine forest plantations on the burned areas the mycorrhization of seedlings before planting contributed to a significant increase in survival of cultures and improved their growth.
