Va. Demyanov, INFLUENCE OF PINUS-SYLVESTRIS L ON THE ST RUCTURE OF PLANT COVER IN YOUNG TREE STANDS OF THE KOLA NORTH UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC-POLLUTION, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (1), 1994, pp. 109-118
Specific structural features of young recovering pine stands subject t
o industrial atmospheric pollution are considered in the Kola North. I
t was shown that with the approach lo the source of atmospheric pollut
ion the edificatory influence (estimated by the value eta2) of the pin
e weakens: it falls from 0.13 in communities unaffected by the atmosph
eric pollution to 0.07 in decaying coenoses. The degree of interaction
between plants of the lower layers, as well as the character of their
interactions change unambiguously.
