Among the concepts of sustainable nature management, forest conservation is
considered as an important element. The state of forest ecosystem depends on the development
trend of the mining and industrial area and the complex of social, ecological, and economic
problems of Kryvyi Rih District. The object of this study was assessing the artificial woody
plantations as a promising factor for ecological hybrid threat reduce in industrial areas on
the example of the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Mining and Metallurgical District on standpoint of
an ecosystem approach. During 2015-2020, we studied the natural forest ecosystems and the
artificial forest plantations, which were located in contrast environmental conditions. Forests
are located very unevenly in the Kryvyi Rih District. They are mainly concentrated in River
gullies, woody stands of city parks, woody stands of health protection zones, woody stands
of city protection forest and woody stands of river protection forest. The woody plantations
located on the territories of Kryvyi Rih District are very different in terms of coverage area
and don’t reach the optimal level. This woody plantations level allows effect the climate, soil,
and water resources. The woody plantations also mitigate the effects of erosion processes, as
well as provide more clean air. The artificial woody plantations are an important element
of environmental safety in Kryvyi Rih District. The main function of the artificial woody
plantations is to maintain the soil in an optimal form for operation. It is also the protection of
ground water and the stability of the meso- and microclimate in the region, moreover preserving
the biodiversity of the territory’s ecosystems. The artificial woody plantations perform an antistress
function for residents. It was established that the quality of reforming the ecological
approach to greening the city’s territories, as well as preserving artificial woody plantations,
was determined by the choice of such a management model and nature management policy.
These models together should ensure the competitive ability and long-term development of the
artificial woody plantations in Kryvyi Rih District. The maine industrial areas in the world
should develop as an environmentally stable and safety metallurgical region in accordance with
the principles of sustainable development in the world.
