Abstract
Processes of xylem formation in Dahurian larch have been studied at three sites differing in the hydrothermal regime of soils in the permafrost zone of Middle Siberia. It has been found that the start and end dates of different phases of tree ring formation may differ between the sites by up to 14 days, depending on site conditions. The data obtained contribute to knowledge of possible changes in larch forest phytomass production and provide the possibility of predicting its dynamics under conditions of climate change.
