Abstract

The article examines the process of natural renewal of the Siberian fir (Abies Sibirica) under parent forest stand in fir-tree forests having different types of herbs or moss on the territory of the Kemerovo region. It presents the data obtained during the expeditions to the nature reserve "Kuznetsky Alatau", Shorsky National Nature Park and Mariinsk forestry in 1997-2004. The results of the research show the influence of the location on the slope and the slope microrelief on the number of juvenile Siberian firs. There is a correlation between the quantitative distribution of the undergrowth and the slope exposure. Comparative characteristics of the mountainous and flat parts of the region are also examined. The research shows that the quality of fir renewal depends on the plentitude of parent forest stand. There is a certain interdependence between the projective covering of herbage and the number of juvenile firs.
