Research reveals growth dynamics in pine forests across Eurasian regions, indicating ecological-physiological metrics may be universal.
In this paper we investigated the influence of geographical location of Eurasian regions and forest typology on the ecological-physiological modeling (EPM) of growth dynamics of pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The actual material was taken from the growth progress tables (GTR) presented in the monographs of V.A. Usoltsev. It has established that the bonitet scale has justified from the point of view of thermodynamic approach. It has obtained that the value of the EFM parameter, which is responsible for the rate of resource consumption does not depend neither on the geographical region, nor on the forest typology, but is a universal constant that determines the bonitet No. 1 of pine plantations. The value of the allometric parameter expressing the relationship between plantation biomass and surface area tends to be independent of the region location for the Center of European part of Russia. The necessity of further research in this direction has shown.
