The needle share in tree greenery biomass of scots pine in geographical gradients of Eurasia
Abstract
The efficiency of using photosynthetically active radiation by trees largely depends on the architecture of the assimilation apparatus in their crown. It is known that an increase in the level of atmospheric pollution is accompanied, on the one hand, by an increase in the foliage density on the shoot length, and on the other hand, by an increase in the transparency of the crown due to the expansion of the leafless inner part of the crown. On this basis, we assume that the foliage density of shoots is a sensitive indicator of changes in growing conditions not only due to environmental pollution, but also in a broader ecological aspect, in particular, in the geographical gradients of Eurasia. For this purpose, a database of empirical data has been formed in the amount of 558 model trees of Scots pine of natural and artificial origin from 6 regions of Northern Eurasia with a measured percentage of needle biomass in tree greenery, or tree verdure (shoots covered with needles) biomass. A regression model has been developed in which the tree age and stem diameter, as well as geographical coordinates of habitats, are used as independent variables. An increase in the needle percentage of shoots was found both in the direction from north to south due to a decrease in the moisture supply of habitats, and in the direction from west to east due to an increase in the climate continentality. Thus, the percentage of needle biomass in tree greenery of Scots pine is an indicator of changes in growing conditions in the geographical gradients of Eurasia.
