Growth and Productivity of the Smolensk Sukachev Larch Ecotype in Pure and Mixed With Scots Pine Plantations in the Conditions of the Moskvoretsko-Oka Plain

Abstract

In the geographical cultures of the Bronnitsky forestry of the Moscow region, the Arkhangelsk ecotype of Sukachev larch at the age of 65 is characterized by high productivity, average and current growth, which makes this species promising for targeted forest cultivation in the conditions of the Moscow region. The creation of Sukachev larch forest crops that are pure in composition contributes to the formation of high-performance plantations. Mixing Sukachev larch with Scots pine is impractical due to the high light-loving nature of both tree species.
