T.A. Mikhailova, O.V. Kalugina The state of Scots pine forests in Barguzin hollow // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2012. No 1. С.29-35.

The state of pine stands in the Barguzin River (flowing into Lake Baikal) basin is assessed according to the morphological and structural parameters of tree crowns and the content of chemical elements in their needles. The studied area is characterized by a great variety of natural conditions and anthropogenic loads. The highest indices characterize the pine stands forming in the northern part of the hollow. In the southern part, the state of trees is weakened due to the well pronounced recreation impact. In the central part, the pine stands are strongly degraded because of the strong influence of a complex of anthropogenic factors.
