Экологические характеристики возрастных рядов культуры и насаждений естественного происхождения сосняков мшистых в заказнике «Гродненская Пуща»

The studies were carried out in 2019 on the territory of the landscape reserve Grodnenskaya Pushcha (Grodno region, Belarus) in which 26 natural and artificial communities of pine forests with mosses (Pinetum pleuroziosum) were studied on a age range from 5 to 113 years, using the trial plot method (400 m 2). Phytoindication of ecological regimes on the scales proposed by H. Ellenberg showed a tendency to decrease illumination, moisture, and trophy and an increase in acidity in the age range of pine forests with mosses. The ecological interpretation of the components (the Principal Component Analysis) of the studied pine forest communities showed that the main factors responsible for the formation of the time series of natural and artificial pine forests with mosses are forestry activities, illumination regime, and soil trophy.
