The manuscript presents an analysis of the longterm experience of agroforestry scientific and practical developments in the main areas, identifies the main problems and identifies the prospects for further artificial afforestation in Russia in the southern regions. Based on the published data, a number of main reasons have been formed that determine the decrease in the functions of protective forest plantations in the regions; a set of forest reclamation measures aimed at increasing their viability and efficiency in extreme forest conditions has been proposed. Integrated reforestation activities include improving the range of trees and shrubs used for afforestation in arid conditions.
