SELECTION EVALUATION OF THE GROWING STANDS OF SCOTS PINE IN GEOGRAPHICAL CULTURES OF THE VORONEZH REGION
Geographical forest plantations are the scientific basis for their forest-seed zoning. The studies were carried out in maturing forest stands of steppe and forest-steppe ecotypes of scots pine. A selection evaluation of 1260 growing trees was carried out on 32 trial plots. The method is proposed for determining the ranks of the selection value of forest stands, which allows to set a place in the ranking of each of them.
