EDAPHIC FACTOR INFLUENCE ON RESTOCKING OF Scotch pine (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) – THE basic Angara region biological resource
The article discusses some features of studying soils of forest biocoenosis in the Middle Angara region. It summarizes the study results of soil and environmental conditions in the forest ecosystems of the Angara region; characterizes the main types of soils, their composition features, water and temperature regimes. Particular attention is given to the influence of edaphic factors on pine forest restocking. The paper examines the soil factor effect dynamics on the initial phase of natural restocking of deforested areas of different age as well as the forest cultures of the Scotch pine. The quantity and life condition of the undergrowth are evaluated. Young growth taxation characteristics and other indicators are studied.
