In our language there are words that we usenot so often and, confronted with them in everyday speech, we can not always understand their true meaning. Here we answer the question: what is a clearing? Also, in more detail, we will analyze the definition of this word.
First of all, note that the word is feminine, and in the plural it will sound like "glades". The stress should fall on the first syllable. However, this was not always the case.
In poetry, earlier this word was used with an accent on the second syllable: for example, an excerpt from NS Gumilev's poem Two Dreams:
And he leaned against the threshold
Black-bearded man;
He looks steadily and strictly
In the disturbing gloom of forest proseto.
So, consider the meaning of the word "clearing".The first association that arises is connected with the forest. On the question of what a clearing is, let's try to answer, relying on the explanatory dictionaries. More often we use the word "path" or "road" in the lexicon. According to SI Ozhegov's dictionary, a clearing is a strip in a forest or forest park, which is cleared of trees. If we rely on the definition given to this word by DN Ushakov, then this is a narrow strip of land cleared of trees. It is intended for a road or for any boundary. In most other dictionaries, the designation of this word will also be almost identical to these interpretations.
"Proseca" is formed from the word "cut", that is, cut down, cut through, reach out. In this sense - to build a clean road or strip.
Its width, as a rule, is 4-8 meters,sometimes this parameter reaches 20 meters, depending on the purpose of the clearing. For example, if it is used as a road, then its width will be larger (from 10 meters). It can be narrow (2 meters), but in order to protect the forest from damage from fires, cut down the glade much larger (up to 40 meters).
For example, we give some names.Abramtsevskaya glade is located in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow, in the territory of the Metrogorodok district. The Fifth Beam passage is located in the Sokolniki district. The fourth Beam section is also located in the same administrative district of Moscow, in Sokolniki.
Просека - это расчищенная полоса, которую делают in the forest with topographic survey, various studies of the terrain, as well as laying of pipelines, power lines, and in forestry is also used as a division of the territory into quarters. They are laid from east to west and from north to south. The numbering of quarters in this case goes from north to south and from west to east. On the intersection of the clearings, poles are set, which indicate the numbers of adjacent quarters. Still, the main significance of the glades in the forest is fire fighting. It is worth noting that they can for the most part stop a grassroots fire, but they can not cope with the top. It is also made for road or rail. What is a clearing and why do it, we now become more clear.
We answered the question what is a clearing, andNow let's talk more about how it appears in the forest. Now, all kinds of equipment are widely used for this procedure: dozens of pieces of equipment can be used at a single facility. Among them are large-scale felling complexes and tractors, as well as various overhead equipment and mulchers (forest shredders). During the creation of the glades, the last type of technology shows itself most effectively. The so-called mulchers began to be sold on the Russian market recently, but have already managed to establish themselves on the good side. With the help of this technique, it is possible to remove stumps and bushes, dump and chop trees, and also dispose of production wastes and more. With the help of harvesters, as well as other similar equipment, it is possible not only to cut the forest, but also to prune branches and knots.
It must be cut down in order toIn forests, as well as in an area covered with forest shoots and shrubs, there were overhead lines. At the same time the width of the clearing must meet certain requirements. In the following periodically, it is cleared, for example, from the bush, and protected from the occurrence of fires. At the same time, individual trees growing outside the clearing are also cut down due to the probability of their falling on the wires and overhead lines. The liquidation of vegetation is carried out both by mechanical methods and by chemical methods (herbicides are used for this).
Clearing glades is mandatoryevent, especially if in the forest zone are power lines, other communications, gas and oil pipelines. Trees and shrubs in these areas often cause short circuits and then fires.
We answered the question of what the "clearing" means, forwhat it is needed and what it is. Now we have a more complete picture of it. As we found out, the clearing is of great importance, in some cases, laying it is simply necessary, despite the fact that you have to cut down the forest. It is not only used in household needs, but also prevents the spread of fire on the ground.
