Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the characteristics of the forest formation process under the influence of cattle grazing on abandoned agricultural lands in the conditions of Western Siberia. The study was conducted on former cropland used for grazing and at different stages of the reforestation process. A comprehensive assessment and analysis of the biometric indicators of the stand, ground cover, and soil was carried out, which allows us to determine the genesis of the emerging phytocenosis and predict the dynamics of their development in the Novosibirsk region. Based on the study the hypothesis of the endozoogenic nature of the distribution of Scots pine in pastures in the forest-steppe zone was formed.
