Description :
Peculiarities of the impact of permanent chronic air contamination by dust and gaseous waste of the copper-nickel industry on morphological structure of Scots pine crown in secondary north taiga forests of the Kola Peninsula were investigated. The negative impact of contaminants on life duration and the state of pine needles, upon phytomass formation, and the growth and state of the skeleton fraction of the crown was traced. Substantial difference in density of needle coverage, needle dimensions, and weight, either due to the position within the crown or proximity to the source of pollution, was revealed. - (L'A.).
