Abstract

The article presents results of studying the survival ability and growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) open communities created with planting material with root-balled and bare-root tree systems. The study establishes that, in conditions of the dry forest on gentle slopes, the survival rate of forest plantations created by various planting materials does not differ statistically. The study shows that in the conditions of the trial plot forest plantations are repeatedly supplemented. This leads to a postponement of the assignment of open forest plantations to the plots on which forests are located. It is recommended to increase the density of forest crop planting to 5–6 thousand pcs/ha, since the density of planting from 2,0 to 4,4 thousand pcs/ha does not allow the density of the Scots pine to exceed 2,5 thousand pcs/ha six years after planting. The growth progress graphs of artificial and natural trees growing in the trial plots were drawn. It is indicated that up to the age of eight years artificial forest plantations lag behind the trees of natural origin considering their height, but at older ages they are ahead of them in this indicator. It was revealed that there is no natural seeding of pine in seven of the eleven plots of open forest plantations; its number does not exceed 45 pcs/ha in three plots, and only in the plot adjacent to the forest edge, the number of self-seeding is 1,5 thousand pcs/ha. The average crown diameters and basic wood increment of pine trees of various origins have been determined. It is recommended not to use containerized root-balled seedlings in the Altai Region steppe zone in favor of bare root seedlings.
