Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2012, Vol 120, Issue
Abstract
Variability of Douglas-fir seed quality parameters at individual level of introduction in the North-East of Ukraine was investigated, and its comparison with these parameters in other countries was carried out. Positive correlation between weight and energy of germination (r = 0,62), and between weight and germination (r = 0,64) of seeds was evaluated.

Occurrence and peculiarities of tree colonization by stem pests in pine stands weakened by different factors in the forest-steppe part of Kharkiv region
Six species of invasive stem insect species in pine plantations in the region were detected. Tomicus piniperda L. (39%) dominated in the focus of the root rot, Ips sexdentatus Boern. (47.3%) and Tomicus minor Hart. (41.2...
Growth characteristics of modal pine stands, planted on abandoned agricultural lands in Novgorod-Siversky and Chernihiv Polissya
Scots pine forests planted on abandoned agricultural lands are infected with root rot fungus (Heterobasidion annosum (Fr) Bref.) due to the disturbance of natural forest sites. The disease decreases the productivity of s...
Post-fire changes in productivity of pine stands of Kharkiv urban green belt
An intensive urbanization enhances the negative impact of the complex of anthropogenic factors on forests, which leads to the forest deterioration, thinning, and reduction in productivity. Fires are particularly dangerou...
Prediction for bark beetles caused desiccation of pine stands
In recent years, forest desiccation has been registered in many regions, including Ukraine, where the decline of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) covered almost all Polissya. Tree mortality often occurred after the infes...
