“…INFLUENCE OF SOIL FERTILITY ON THE ABILITY OF SCOTS PINE (Pinus sylvestris L.) TO ADAPT TO TECHNOGENIC POLLUTION are studied for Pinus sylvestris L., Larix sukaczewii Dylis, Betula pendula Roth (ZAVYALOV and MENSCHIKOV, 2016;ZAVYALOV et al, 2018), decrease in elevated biomass of Betula pendula Roth (ZAVYALOV and MENSCHIKOV, 2010), increase in xeromorphy of leaves and Mg in leaves (ZAVYALOV, 2013), weak influence of the pollution on sowing qualities of seeds of Pinus sylvestris L. (MOHNACHEV et al, 2013) and on natural regeneration of Pinus sylvestris L. (MOHNACHEV et al, 2018), but noticeable decrease in radial gain in this tree species (ZAVYALOV, 2018). In the course of work, the zero hypothesis that the fertility of soils is a significant factor for adaptation of the Scots pine to pollution was supported.…”
