Some aspects of black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) use in forest stands of Ukraine

Abstract

Analysis of history of introduction and investigation of black pines plantations in Ukraine is given. Short description and taxonomical features of black pine varieties are represented. The results of investigation of three black pine stands in Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad and Sumy regions are analyzed. On sod-podzolic soils in D2 forest site conditions in Polissya an Austrian black pine grows better than in Forest-Steppe on the wind-eroded black soils in C2 conditions and on the sandy loams of coniferous forest terrace in B2 conditions. The problem of identification of black pine subspecieses in the old age forest plantations results in important. In future the best Austrian black pine stands can be used as seed base for forest plantation creation in the Forest-Steppe (Vinnitsa, Kyiv, Poltava, Sumy, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Khmelnickiy, Tcherkasy regions) and Steppe zones (Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovohrad and Lugansk regions) of Ukraine. As more heat-loving variety, Crimean Black Pine should be used for planting in near Black sea region (Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson).
