Abstract
The article presents the results of dendrochronological studies of aspen growth. The tree stand was formed on soils of a peculiar geological structure, in conditions that are rather arid for aspen, therefore, the study of the relations between fluctuations in radial growth and fluctuations in meteorological parameters; as well as the relations between fluctuations in radial growth and solar activity in this biotope is of particular interest. The results obtained are compared with data from similar studies in aspen stands on the territory of the Russian Plain. A negative impact on the increase in high temperatures in June and July last year was established. This gives reason to predict the deterioration of aspen forests as the global climate warms. A relatively close relations was found between fluctuations in the growth index and changes in the values of the Wolf number: the correlation coefficient is –0.34. Using Fourier spectral analysis, it was found that the indexed chronology contains a pronounced cyclical component with a period of 9.5 years.
