Abstract

The results of the study of the current state and production potential of pine for the growth of stem mass in changing climatic conditions in the Belarusian Polesje are presented. Large-scale land drainage, which resulted in a decrease in subsurface groundwater in areas adjacent to swampy and wetland lands with quartz-sandy soils, exacerbated the limiting importance of natural environmental factors: solar radiation, temperature and precipitation in their influence on the state and product potential pine trees, causing mass drying of the stand in anomalous weather conditions after 2014.
