The Response of Radial Growth of Pinus Sylvestris L. in the Experience of Reclamation of Technogenic-Disturbed Lands of the Satkinsky Industrial Hub

Abstract

The problems of destruction and death of forest ecosystems by the aerotechnogenic emissions of large enterprises are considered. As a result of damage to forest ecosystems, it becomes necessary to assess and predict changes in the environment. The purpose of our research is to assess the negative impact of aerotechnogenic emissions of magnesite production on the radial growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The impact assessment was carried out by the dendroindication method. Dynamics of radial growth of Scots pine in the vicinity of the Magnezit industrial complex is related to the impact of the plant's aerotechnogenic emissions, which have a limiting effect. The positive effect of lowland peat introduced during crop planting has been revealed, which allowed to reduce the negative impact of the plant's aerotechnogenic emissions in the first 10 years of life and preserve the culture to our days.
