A forest of poplars and willows grows on the site of the Kakhovsky Reservoir. According to environmentalists, it was a surprise even for them.
"At the beginning of June (when the disaster occurred at the Kakhovskaya HPP), willows and poplars sow their seeds en masse. Billions of seeds fly in all directions with the wind currents and, having hit the surface of the reservoir, which was rapidly losing water, were evenly distributed in waves over the moistened substrate. Three months are enough for young trees to reach the height of human growth in some places," Oleksiy Vasylyuk, a representative of the Ukrainian Nature Protection Group, said.
According to his calculations, the area of the territory, which is now rapidly becoming overgrown with forest, is actually equal to the entire area of forests in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Nature finds a way.
