Abstract
The article discusses the features of natural renewal under the canopy of pine ecosystems in the Moscow region. 20 observation plots located in the Moscow Educational and Experimental Forestry and the Losiny Ostrov National Park were surveyed. The selected research objects are of age class – IV, site index class I-Ia. It has been established that in the Moscow Educational and Experimental Forestry over the past 70 years, the species composition has not changed dramatically. Over the past 170 years, the share of pine in the historical part of the Losiny Ostrov National Park has decreased from 25% to 8%. Over the past three years, the average annual growth of spruce undergrowth does not exceed 5 cm. There is a succession change of pine phytocenoses to deciduous ones, which subsequently can lead to the formation in the Losiny Ostrov National Park of stands of species composition and structure that are radically different from those currently existing. Picea abies (L.) H. Karst is the predominant species in the undergrowth of the studied pine forests of the Moscow Educational and Experimental Forestry. Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. Acer platanoides L. dominates in the undergrowth of Losiny Ostrov, the presence of an invasive species, Acer negundo L., was revealed. In the studied pine formations, there is no viable undergrowth of Pinus sylvestris L. Sorbus aucuparia L. Predominated among the undergrowth species in the Moscow Educational and Experimental Forestry, and Euonymus europaeus L. and Rhamnus frangula L. dominated in the Losiny Ostrov National Park. The set of tree and shrub species in the lower tiers is rather limited.
