Abstract

The results of assessing the climate signal contained in the width of tree rings and the indicator of optical density of wood (Blue Intensity) of related species of pine trees – black (Pinus nigra Arnold) and Pitsunda (Pinus brutia Ten) growing on the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula are presented. The influence of the cumulative effect of moisture deficiency on the radial growth and lignification processes of late wood of the studied conifer species is shown. A specific reaction of P. nigra in high mountain areas to conditions of prolonged drought was revealed. The prospects for using the Blue Intensity indicator for dendroclimatic studies on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula have been demonstrated.
