Va. Demyanov et al., EFFECT OF INDUSTRIAL-POLLUTION ON RADIAL INCREMENT OF LARIX GMELINII (PINACEAE), Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (4), 1996, pp. 490-494
The effect of industrial air pollution by enterprises of nonferrous me
tallurgy on the radial increment of the Dahurian larch in the north of
Middle Siberia was studied by the method of dendrochrolonogy. The neg
ative effect of aerotechnogenic pollution of the Noril'sk mining and s
melting complex is expressed in depression of the radial increment of
the trees both near the source of pollution and in the region not subj
ect to the direct effect of industrial waste. The latter suggests that
the zone of influence of atmospheric waste of industrial enterprises
on the environment has recently markedly enlarged in the north of Midd
le Siberia.
