In the steppe zone, natural forests are an azonal vegetation type and represent gully forest complexes growing on a ravine and gully network. They are mostly represented by oak forests, which differ in the proportion of common oak in their composition and the species spectrum of associated species. The ecosystem role of gully forests is multifaceted: climatic, soil protection, and agrotechnical. They play an important conservation role, as they are centers of significant biodiversity and refugia for rare flora and fauna. They are often used for recreational activities by local residents and tourists. The most important structural and functional element of forest biogeocenoses is the stand. Its characteristics (species composition, age structure, closeness, etc.) determine not only the main parameters of the forest ecosystems' material cycle, but also have an environment-forming impact on the surrounding steppe areas. This is an essential factor for optimizing the microclimatic indicators of steppe settlements located near similar natural woody phytocoenoses, as well as for increasing the productivity of agro-landscape plantations. Such ecosystem services can be most effectively provided by forest plantations that are resistant to various environmental factors and highly productive, which has become especially important in the context of deteriorating hydrothermal conditions and increasing drought as part of global climate change. It should be noted that there are relatively few studies of natural centers of oak forests in the steppe zone of Ukraine, and they mostly concern the study of physical and chemical characteristics of soil and invertebrate biodiversity. But now, due to endogenous succession processes occurring in beech forests, recreational activities on their territory, and climate change, there is an objective need for a broad study of the biodiversity and silvicultural.
