Abstract
The article considers the structural transformation of formations occurring at various stages of pine ontogenesis against the background of environmental factors. Moscow forest ecosystems are subject to the complex effects of external factors. The Scots pine formations of Moscow perform important water protection, environmental protection and a number of other functions. The aim of the paper was to study the transformation of the structure of pine formations to determine the trends of ecosystem development affected by negative factors. The research was carried out in mature pinetums within the city of Moscow. Three groups of formations have been identified on permanent test areas based on the predominant species in the second tier: 1) maple, 2) linden and elm, 3) spruce. The presence of several generations of hardwoods indicates the transformation of the structure of Scots pine formations from the period of 1960—1970. The directions of the natural succession processes occurring in the mature pine stands of the ecosystems of Moscow are revealed.
