Dynamics of pathological processes in forests of Kharkiv region for the period of 1992–2012

Abstract

The analysis of the dynamics of pathological processes in forest stands in the Kharkiv region for the period of 1992-2012 was carried out based on the database of the forest stands, in which pathological processes were registered, developed in Ukrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration. A gradual uneven increase in the areas of dry pine and oak stands has been noted. As of 2009, the spread of pathological processes had reached a very high level (11,7 % of the area covered with forest). Based on the correlation analysis, an increase in the scale of pathological processes in pine stands was noted with a decrease in solar activity (the Wolf number). A forecast has been made regarding a decrease in the dieback of stands, which is possible only in 2023–2024.
