Harmfulness of Root Rot in the Stands Planted on Formerly Arable Land and Clear-Cuts After Annosum-Infected Pine Forests in Cher
Cent. Eur. For. J. 66 (2020) 37–48 DOI: 10.2478/forj-2019-0025 ORIGINAL papER http://www.nlcsk.sk/fj/ Harmfulness of root rot in the stands planted on formerly arable land and clear-cuts after annosum-infected pine forests in Chernihiv Polissya physiographic region of Ukraine Viktor Tkach1, Oksana Tarnopilska1, 2, Oleksiy Kobets1, Volodymyr Luk’yanets1, Maksym Rumiantsev1, Iryna Obolonyk1 *, Sergiy Musienko2 1Ukrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration named after G. M. Vysotsky, 86, Pushkinska Street, Kharkiv, 61024, Ukraine 2O. M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, 17, Marshal Bazhanov Street, Kharkiv, 61002, Ukraine Abstract The study was conducted in pure Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests and mixed forests of Scots pine and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) within the Chernihiv Polissya physiographic region of Ukraine. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of forest mensuration characteristics and health condition of pine and mixed pine-birch stands planted on formerly arable lands and cutover areas after pine stands infected by annosum root rot. It was found that in pine stands planted on formerly arable land, the average diameter of living trees in the root rot disease focus was 1–6% larger and the average diameter of dead trees was 11–23% larger than those outside the disease focus. Due to the pathological loss inside the disease foci, the pine stand density was much lower – by 14–38% and the growing stock volume was 16–35% less as compared to the outside areas. Mixed pine-birch stands (with a pre- dominance of pine trees), established on the cutover areas after pine stands affected by root rot, had a 20% greater stock volume and the birch-pine stands (with birch predominance) in the clear-cuts had 18% greater stock volume than pure pine stands inside the root rot disease area. -

GENERAL Council ECE/MP.WAT/2006/16/Add.6 18 October 2006 Original: ENGLISH ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE MEETING OF THE PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION AND USE OF TRANSBOUNDARY WATERCOURSES AND INTERNATIONAL LAKES Fourth meeting Bonn (Germany), 20–22 November 2006 Item 7 (e) of the provisional agenda PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF TRANSBOUNDARY RIVERS IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THE CAUCASUS DISCHARGING INTO THE BLACK SEA AND THEIR MAJOR TRANSBOUNDARY TRIBUTARIES Submitted by the Chairperson of the Working Group on Monitoring and Assessment Addendum 1. This preliminary assessment is an intermediate product that deals with major transboundary rivers discharging from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus into the Black Sea and some of their transboundary tributaries. 2. Based on the countries’ responses to the datasheets 1 and data available from other sources, only a very limited number of watercourses have been dealt with so far as shown in the table below. The other watercourses will be included in the updated version to be submitted to the sixth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Belgrade, October 2007). This update will also cover other transboundary rivers discharging into the Black Sea (e.g. Rezvaya, Velaka, Danube, Siret and Delta-Liman) and their major transboundary tributaries. 1 The cut-off date was 1 September 2006.

Main Alterations in Ichthyofauna of the Largest Rivers of the Northern Coast of the Black Sea in the Last 50 Years: a Review
REVIEW ARTICLE Folia Zool. – 52(4): 337–358 (2003) Main alterations in ichthyofauna of the largest rivers of the northern coast of the Black Sea in the last 50 years: A review Ekaterina D. VASIL’EVA Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University, Bolshaya Nikitskaya 6, 125009 Moscow, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] Received 5 September 2001; Accepted 15 October 2003 Abstract. This review compares the current state of ichthyofauna in the largest rivers of the northern coast of the Black Sea (Don, Kuban, Dnieper and Dniester rivers) with data published by B e r g (1948–1949). Changes in species composition are characterized by the disappearance or decline in anadromous and semi-anadromous fishes. The total number of native species that are extinct, protected, in declined or become rare has reached from 19 % in the Kuban to 36 % in the Dnieper River basins. Appreciable changes have occurred in the ratios between rheophilous and limnophilous fishes (the latter becoming predominant in many parts of the rivers). Euryhaline and even marine species have invaded most of river basins. And the number of introduced or established alien species varies from 9.7 % in the Dnieper to 16.8 % in the Kuban River basins. These changes, which have yielded quite altered ichthyofauna, must be taken into consideration in conservation endeavours Key words: native, introduced, non-native, extinction, protected fishes, alien Introduction B e r g (1949a) summarised his own and literature data on ichthyofauna of the main rivers of Russia and neighbouring countries in his famous monograph, which was published before significant growth of human pressure on natural waters began. -

The Dynasty of Chernigov, 1146-1246
This page intentionally left blank THE DYNASTY OF CHERNIGOV, 1146–1246 Historians in pre-revolutionary Russia, in the Soviet Union, in con- temporary Russia, and the Westhave consistently relegated the dynasty of Chernigov to a place of minor importance in Kievan Rus. This view was buttressed by the evidence that, after the Mongols invaded Rus in 1237, the two branches from the House of Monomakh living in the Rostov-Suzdal and Galicia-Volyn regions emerged as the most powerful. However, careful examination of the chronicle accounts report- ing the dynasty’s history during the second half of the twelfth and the first half of the thirteenth century shows that the Olgovichi of Chernigov successfully challenged the Monomashichi for supremacy in Rus. Through a critical analysis of the available primary sources (such as chronicles, archaeology, coins, seals, “graffiti” in churches, and architecture) this book attempts to correct the pervading erro- neous view by allocating to the Olgovichi their rightful place in the dynastic hierarchy of Kievan Rus. martin dimnik is Professor of Medieval History,Senior Fellow and President Emeritus, Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, Toronto, and Professor of Medieval History,University of Toronto.
