Influence of Climatic Factors on The FORESTRY IDEAS, 2021, vol. 27, No 1 (61): 29–45 INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC FACTORS ON THE FORMATION OF SCOTS PINE (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) AND NORWAY SPRUCE (PICEA ABIES KARST.) RADIAL GROWTH ELEMENTS IN THE BOREAL ZONE OF RUSSIA Dmitry A. Danilov1* and Dmitry A.

Leningrad Research Agriculture Institute Branch of Russian Potato Research Centre, 1 Institutskaya Str., Gatchinsky District, Leningrad Oblast, 188338, Russian Federation. E-mails: [email protected]*; [email protected] Received: 25 December 2020 Accepted: 28 February 2021 Abstract We studied the influence of average temperatures and precipitation of the growing season on the formation of macrostructural elements of radial growth in Scots pine and Norway spruce stands of Leningrad region located in the boreal zone of the European part of Russia. Denro- climatic studies were carried out using the results of wood samples analysis from forest stands on two-layer soils collected during 60 years. The digitized parameters of wood samples were processed in a GIS system, which made it possible to obtain an array of generalized dendrochro- nologies. A rank correlation analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the Spearman’s test. To simulate the combined effect of the amount of precipitation and average temperatures on the formation of the structural elements of radial growth, the method of the quadratic function was used. Depending on the composition of a stand, there was a different response to the se- lected meteorological factors during the study period. In pine stands, the effect of the average temperature of the growing season on the amount of annual radial growth was greater than in spruce stands. In spruce and pine stands with the participation of deciduous species, the struc- tural elements of wood were more meteosensitive. The use of the quadratic function method made it possible to assess the combined effect of the total precipitation and average temperature of the growing season on the elements of radial growth of pine and spruce in the stands under study over the period of the experiment. Stands with various proportions of pine predominantly responded in the same way to changes in external factors associated with the climatic features of the region, which indicates the priority of their use in dendrochronological studies. Key words: amount of precipitation, annual ring width, average temperature, early and late wood, statistical analysis.

The paper considers territorial models of local selfgovernance that had emerged in Russian regions prior to the reform and their impact on various aspects of municipal establishments' activities. The authors evaluate the regional law in the area of local selfgovernance and interbudgetary relations and consider issues associated with the rise and emergence of territorial foundations of the institute in question until 2003. The authors also analyze reforms undertaken in RF regions in 2004 that addressed the problem of a new territorial structure of local selfgovernance.

During this period the Bank has lived through nu- merous and various events — festal and heavy, but by all means useful, contributing to its further growth. All these years the Bank has been developing together with its clients and thanks to them. The current crisis is not the first one in the Bank’s history. Economic difficulties are a sort of moment of truth, when business is testing its stability and survivability. And the Bank is passing through this ordeal with credit, retaining and strengthening the gained position. According to “RBK–Rating” agency RUSSLAVBANK ranked as one of top–100 most profitable banks in 2008. At the traditional world banking forum SIBOS–2008 managers of major financial institutions of the world agreed that in the current economic situation the commission business is a vital component enabling to retain the profitability, stability and steadiness of a full–scale bank. And money transfers and payments are one of the most dynamically developing tools of this business. This statement is confirmed by positive developing dynamics of inter- national cash remittance and payment system CONTACT created by RUSSLAVBANK: the number of service points is expanding, the list of the system’s partners is increasing, the volumes and number of users is growing. The leading international and Russian rating agencies have assigned rather high long–term and short–term deposit ratings and credit ratings to RUSSLAVBANK — А, В3, etc.
