The analysis of regeneration processes on post-agrogenic lands allows establishing patterns and features of succession processes in phytocenosis, to identify the most appropriate measures to promote natural regeneration and to establish the possibility and feasibility of the production of forestry crops on lands left out of agricultural use. A study of forest regeneration processes in areas of fallow land for agricultural purposes adjacent to the floodplain of the Oredezh River in Gatchina district of Leningrad region. On the prepared study plots (0.25 ha) in different elements of the slope relief, the natural regeneration of pine and spruce and living ground cover was also taken into account. The soils on the objects of the study are agricultural soils of different thickness, from 30 to 45 cm. In two areas the soil is turfy, well-cultivated, concealed podzolic, ferrous illuvial soil on sands. On plots No. 3–5, the soil is turfy, well-cultivated, concealed podzolic, ferrous illuvial, clayey, on a red loam. The purpose of the study was to identify the nature of forest regeneration processes in areas of fallow land for agricultural purposes. It has been established that the composition of the emerging undergrowth depends on a number of factors: the type of soil, the taxation characteristics of the adjacent forest, the forest vegetation subzone, and the living ground cover. In these soil conditions on the deposits, young mixed undergrowth with a predominance of spruce and pine after a meadow stage of ruderal vegetation is formed.
