Dendrochronological principles of assessment of pine and oak stands of Ukraine: monograph / Kh.: Machulin, 2023, - 252 p.

ISBN 978-617-8195-25-0

The results of research on theoretical principles and features of the reaction of the radial growth of Scots pine, Crimean pine, and Scots oak to climate change and anthropogenic factors in forest ecosystems in different natural zones of Ukraine are given. Based on samples from living trees, new regional tree-ring chronologies were developed for Scots pine and Scots oak in the stands of Polissia and Forest Steppe of Left Bank. Two local tree-tree chronologies for Crimean pine were constructed for stands on the southern slope of the Crimean Mountains.

The effectiveness of the combination of dendrochronological, silvicultural, taxonomic and comparative ecology methods, which allow to identify the potential possibility of tree species adaptation to climate change, to reveal the peculiarities of the reaction of the radial growth of Scots pine and Scots oak to climate change under conditions of anthropogenic stress, has been theoretically and practically substantiated and proven.

It is intended for specialists in forestry, forest protection, scientists, graduate students and students of forestry and biological faculties of universities.
