Planting of multi-purpose tree species on such land pro-motes restoration of soil fertility and their use for agricultural production. Abandoned land starts to bring benefits, providing the population with fuel and construction wood, cattle with a deciduous forage, etc. The wellconsidered selection of tree species provides ecological services, such as decrease of water-logging through a biodrainage and control of soil salinization; ni-trogen-fixation capacity of certain species enriches the soil with nitrogen, and litter from leaves with humus. These sites can again be turned to a category of an arable land or to continue to use them for wood production in a longterm perspective.PDFCC-BY-SA-4.0cacilmBriefOpen access
