The influence of aerotechnogenic pollution on scots pine's radial growth in Kola North
Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the relation between aerotechnogenic pollution and the radial growth of Scots pine. The studies were conducted in Pechengsky District of Murmansk Oblast, in the vicinity of the urban-type settlement Nikel, where the Pechenganikel Mining and Metallurgical Plant facility is located. The main method of the research is correlation analysis. This method was used to estimate the contribution of climatic factors in the radial growth of pine in terms of aerotechnogenic pollution. The dynamics of Scots pine radial growth over the past 115 years in the explored area was also examined.
