V. V. Tuzhilkina Pigment Complex of Pine Needles in Forests of the European North-East // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2012. No 4. С.16-23.

The content and proportion of photosynthetic pigments in needles of pine trees growing in forests of different types in the northern and middle taiga of the European North-East were studied. The content of chlorophylls in pine needles is related to the forest-growing conditions to a greater extent than to the geographic origin of the pine phytocenoses. The greatest content of green pigments in the needles from bilberry pine forests accumulates in autumn and in the bilberry-sphagnum and sphagnum pine forests, in summer. A positive correlation between the seasonal dynamics of the chlorophyll content and soil and air temperatures was revealed.
