Productivity and ecological functions of naturally regrown pine forests of the Ukrainian Polissia by Petro Lakyda, Volodymyr Blyshchyk

“…Based on the indicators of basic wood density (341 kg·(m3)-1), the studied stands have a slightly lower density compared to other pine forests of the Ukrainian Polissia zone, which are characterized by high moisture content in wood at a young age, soil conditions (structure, mechanical composition, fertility), which has a significant impact on the formation of late wood, and, consequently, on its density. …”
