Age dynamics of biomass of Pinus sibirica Du Tour stands in the Urals

Abstract
The biomass of forest stands plays an important role in the process of atmospheric carbon sequestration, however, the extent of carbon uptake by forests remains controversial, partly due to uncertainties in the assessment of forest biomass and its carbon content. Of the main forest-forming species in Eurasia, the five-needled pines (subgenus Haploxylon Pilg.) account for the smallest volume of empirical values of aboveground biomass in the existing database. These data were obtained on the territory of Siberia and the Far East, but there are no similar materials for the Urals. In the proposed study, based on the materials of 22 sample plots established in plantations and natural stands of Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) aged 17 to 118 years, a recursive system of regression models of aboveground biomass (t per ha) by component composition was developed, describing its dependence on the main taxation indicators of stands with coefficients of determination from 0.94 up to 0.99. Based on them, for the first time, a table of biological productivity by components of aboveground biomass was obtained for Pinus sibirica forests in the Urals. A comparison of the obtained table with previously compiled tables of biological productivity based on yield tables of modal and normal Pinus sibirica forests showed their significant discrepancies. Apparently, when assessing the biomass and carbon deposition capacity of Pinus sibirica forests in the Urals, a preference should be given to the proposed models and the table. Unlike the previously published tables, the suggested models and the table make their possible to combine with different sets of taxation indicators obtained by instrumental taxation, as well as when carrying out state accounting of Pinus sibirica forests.
