Identification of Climatic and Soil Biocenotic Factors Influencing the Height Growth of Lapland Pine in North European Russia

“…So, it is shown that in Karelia, in the middle taiga region, an intensive linear growth of pine trees begins in the first half of May and reaches a maximum in mid-June, completely stopping in August (Kishchenko 2019). The amount of precipitation in this period can have both a positive (in case of insufficient moisture) and a negative (in case of excessive moisture) effect on the linear growth of Scots pine (Koukhta 2009;Volkova et al 2016;Pozdnyakova et al 2019). Previously, significant negative correlation between the precipitation in May-Jule and height growth indices of Scots pine growing here were found for humid biotopes of the northern regions (Pozdnyakova et al 2019).…”

The same results (a negative correlation of the linear growth indices of Pinus sylvestris L. with the amount of precipitation in May and June) were obtained during examining the forest pine biotopes of the Baltic region with the cool humid Atlantic-Continental European climate (Janson et al 2013b).…”

“…The same results (a negative correlation of the linear growth indices of Pinus sylvestris L. with the amount of precipitation in May and June) were obtained during examining the forest pine biotopes of the Baltic region with the cool humid Atlantic-Continental European climate (Janson et al 2013b). The reason for this phenomenon is that in waterlogged biogeocenoses, an increased amount of precipitation causes water stress in pine trees and a decrease in the growth rate of internodes, and also contributes to a deterioration in the quality of established buds of renewal (Pozdnyakova et al 2019).…”

“…One of the main types of pine response to various environmental conditions is its linear growth (=height growth). Its variability is closely related to climatic factors and ecological conditions (Koukhta 2003(Koukhta , 2009Chernogaeva and Kuhta 2018;Jansons et al 2013a, b;Pozdnyakova et al 2019;Zhou et al 2019). The height growth of Scots pine in cold and moist regions has been limited by temperature in the previous summer and length of the growing period (McCarroll et al 2003;Pensa et al 2005;Salminen and Jalkanen 2005).…”
