Title : THE INFLUENCE OF THE PLANTING SCHEME OF FOREST CROPS ON THE GROWTH OF LARCH IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TAIGA
Abstract : The genus Larch (Larix) is one of the most common in Russian forest plantations. Larch wood is a high-quality building material. In the past, Sukachev larch (Larix sukaczewii Ledeb.) naturally grew on the territory of the Perm Region. But this species, as well as the Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) that replaced it, turned out to be incapable of self-renewal in the conditions of the Perm Region. All forest plantations with the participation of larch have to be created artificially. In the scientific community, there is no unambiguous vision of the competitiveness of larch in relation to other conifers. There is also no consensus on the schemes for creating larch forest crops. The planting of larch on the territory of the current urban forests was carried out from 1943 to 1989. Cultures were created not only pure, but also mixed with pine and spruce. Forest crops aged 57-76 years were studied. The purpose of the study is to identify the dependence of the growth and development of larch on the planting scheme and the scheme of mixing conifers. To do this, we had to conduct a retrospective analysis of planting schemes. The study showed the absence of the influence of the width of the aisle on the safety of larch, on the diameter of the trunk and the formation of the stock of larch wood. A strong influence of the in-the-row spacing was found both on the preservation of forest crops and on the formation of a wood stock.
