Natural landscapes of Poliskyi Natural Reserve are characterized as well as the current state of the art with research of its flora and fauna during different periods. We indicate importance of research of changes in forest ecosystems as a result of drainage, dynamics of live biomass accumulation and its transformation, clarification of possibilities for conservation of forest ecosystems. Within the article we analyzed mensurational structure of stands of Poliskyi NR, according to database “Forest fund” of PA “Ukrderzhlisproekt” by area, growing stock, composition, age, site index class, relative stocking and origin. The data will enable determination of prospects for conservation of forest communities by applying specialized protection regimes, characteristics of feasibility of sylvicultural measures, tracking prospects of reformation of spatial structure of artificially planted stands and bringing them closer to natural forests.
