Crimean pine is one of the most important plantation and natural species in Turkey. In spite of this importance, information on the growth and yield of this species is lacking. For this reason, a model for growth and yield in crimean pine plantations is described, in which stand development is derived from relation to age and site index. Data were collected from 115 temporary sample plots from plantations ranging in age from 3 to 50 years. Site index curves and empirical yield tables were developed and presented. Site index curves were used to classify plantations into site classes of I, II and III, in order of decreasing productivity. Yield functions indicate that crimean pine can be grown on biologically optimum rotations of 35, 36 and 37 years on site classes I, II and III, respectively. The models can be calibrated on permanent field plot data and tested against independent long term growth and yield records.

Nowadays, many forests are intensely exposed to the adverse effects of climate change such as drought. To increase the resilience of the forests against climate change, prescribing appropriate silvicultural treatments is of great importance. At this point, closely scrutinizing the simultaneous effects of competition and climate on the forests has become a very important issue.

Unlabelled: Increase of patients with hypertension in the world determines the search for new, accessible, easily applicable and mildly effective antihypertensive agents, particularly essential oils (EO). Currently available studies of the EO impact on blood pressure do not allow to assess the efficiency of such therapy.
Objective: To perform the comparative study of antihypertensive effects of inhalation with EO vapors of various composition.

Controlling forest pests to maintain the sustainability of forests and ecosystem balance is one of the interests of modern forestry. In the evaluation of damage risks associated with forest pests, pheromone traps attract attention by providing early warnings. With the development of these traps in line with modern technology, more reliable data are obtained; these data are important in the identification and planning of pest management.

- The study analyzed the distribution and abundance of earthworm species in various forest types in the Northwest Caucasus from 2014 to 2019 using field data and GIS modeling.
- Native earthworm species, particularly Dendrobaena schmidti, were found to dominate in both number and biomass across different forest types, indicating their adaptability from low to high mountain forests.
- The research revealed that endogeic earthworm species have a broader potential distribution than epi-endogeic species, with key environmental factors influencing their habitat being precipitation, altitude, and temperature variability.

The Rationale: The clinical course of bronchial asthma (BA) largely depends on the environmental conditions. One of the biological factors of the environmental pollution is the plant pollen. The presence of plant pollen in the air exerts the negative influence on the human health via specific (allergenic) and non-specific effects.
