Prospects of cultivation of Jack pine (<i>Pinus banksiana</i> Lamb.) on sandy soils of natural–technogenic origin in Kyiv Polissia

Abstract The aim of the research was to identify influence environmental factors inherent in alluvial and displaced sands study region on growth Jack pine prospects for its cultivation. We found that success seedlings sandy soils depends a set factors, which include presence or absence, rhizosphere sand, humus impurities genetic horizons zonal soils, silty loamy layers, soil density composition stands formed On sands, sparse forests Scots with 0.3 units were formed. yield seeds from cones 1–2% higher than normative values, mass 1000 50% higher. grow according I class productivity an admixture remnants at root depth. In stand, roots occupied 78% all inhabited metre-thick sand. fall under canopy out plantations due drying, indicates their demand light appropriateness growing solitary plantings mixed low-density pine.
