CARBON DEPOSITION BY YOUNG SCOTS PINE OF THE I-TH AGE CLASS IN THE LEFT-BANK DISTRICT FORESTRY OF THE EDUCATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL FORESTRY OF THE VORONEZH STATE UNIVERSITY OF FORESTRY AND TECHNOLOGIES

The amount of carbon deposited by young scots pine of the I-th age class in the conditions of the Voronezh region from 2014 to 2023 has been calculated. The average height of pines from one year to 11 years old was obtained according to the schedule of average heights by age. To measure radial growth, 24 cuttings of young scots pine trees aged 7-11 years were used. The annual increase in crosssectional area and volume was determined for one medium tree. Using the conversion factor, the carbon deposited for each calendar year for one average pine tree was calculated. Taking into account the dynamics of the density of stands with age, the annual carbon deposition of young pine trees per 1 ha (varies from 633.98 kg to 2.4 kg) was calculated.
