“…It has led to the scientific attention to the hydrological and climatic regime of the Selenga River basin (Törnqvist et al, 2014;Frolova et al, 2017a, b;Kasimov et al, 2017). Their current change is evident, and its consequences are substantial not only in aquatic ecosystems (Khazheeva and Plyusnin, 2016;Moreido and Kalugin, 2017), but also in terrestrial ones, particularly forests (Mikhailova et al, 2013;Puntsukova et al, 2015).…”

Regional tree-ring width chronology of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was constructed from 8 sites in the forest-steppe belt situated in the foothills of the Selenga River basin, Russia. Moisture information contained in tree-ring width chronology was obtained through linear regression reconstruction models of annual August-July precipitation and annual water discharge of the Selenga River during the period 1767-2015. Comparison of the smoothed series allowed estimating long-term variation component of these moisture regime parameters with a high precision. At the same time, regional drought indices are less correlated with pine radial growth, because they have contribution of the other environmental variables, which are much less reflected in the tree-ring of the investigated pine forest stands. Reconstructed dynamic of the moisture regime parameters is supported by documental evident of many socially significant events in the regional history, such as crop failures caused by both droughts and floods, and catastrophic fire in the Irkutsk City in 1879. Also, dependence of the amount of precipitation in the study area on the atmospheric circulation in Central Asia is revealed to have a similar pattern with other regions, i.e., a negative relationship of precipitation with the development of large high atmospheric pressure area within its center in the Altai and Tianshan mountains.

The article summarizes and analyzes monitoring results for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests of Southern Predbaikalie (Eastern Siberia, Russia) exposed to technogenic pollution and high recreational loads. The surveys were carried out in areas adjacent to large industrial centers and in recreational areas of the National Park Pribaikalsky. It is shown that vital state of treestands weakened by industrial exposure is comparable to forest health in areas with high recreational loads. The results show that in terms of contamination levels the most problematic areas are those which are adjacent to Shelekhovsky, Irkutsky, Usolsky and Angarsky industrial centers; as for recreation impact, its unacceptably high levels were found in the vicinity of Listvyanka and Khuzhir villages as well as in many sections of the Circum-Baikal Railway. In these areas, the values of the vital state index (VSI) and the soil resistance potential (SRP) index were the lowest, amounting to 3.2-4.4 points for pine stands VSI and 4.7 points for SRP near Khuzhir and 4.8 points for SRP near Usolsky industrial center, while in the background areas, both the VSI and SRP values were close to 10 points. Based on the obtained results, we have developed a schematic map of the problem areas of the Southern Predbaikalie. The data were also used to create a relational database on the elemental chemical composition of pine needles, including those in technologically polluted parts of the region.
