Abstract

The article studies the influence of orographic factors in the mid-mountain relief on stocks of berry bushes in the area of Northern taiga subzone in the Sverdlovsk region. Forest plantations in the mountains with various slopes directions within absolute heights of 650…850 m above sea level are studied. It is established that berry bushes at the studied areas are represented by three species: blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus L., lingonberry Vaccinium vítis-idaea L. and blueberry Vaccinium uliginosum L. Their plant cover varies from 2 to 18 %. Blueberries are mostly predominant species. Blueberries are prevalent more often at sites above the 800 m above sea level. There is a correlation dependence of the berry bushes plant cover on the absolute height, which is described by the second-order parabola equation. Strength of relationship varies from weak to strong on different slopes (pearson correlation coefficient rxy 0,49…0,81). The plant cover decreases on southern and northern slopes depending on the altitude increase from 650 to 750 m above sea level. Then, plant cover of berry bushes gradually restores, almost to the initial values to heights of 800…850 m above sea level. Plant cover of berry bushes decreases on western and eastern slopes with increase of height from 650 to 800 m. above sea level on the western and eastern slopes. Slight increase of plant cover of berry bushes detected only at the altitude of 800 m. above sea level. There is a difference of indicators of plant cover of berry bushes on different slopes of mountains. The western slope is characterized by the largest plant cover of berry bushes (3,5…21 %), the north slope has the smallest one (0,5…7 %). Plant cover of berry bushes is 2,7…18 % on the southern slope, and 1…19 % on the eastern slope. Research materials confirm a significant role of slope direction and altitude in growing wild berry bushes resources.
