Abstract. Successional changes of pine forests were studied in outwash areas characterised by topography with ridges and depressions. The spatial series of pine forests of different stand ages and those that have not experienced the impact of human activities were analyzed. Pine forests in outwash areas form two successional series depending on the different ecotopes. The following successional series occurs at the tops of ridges: boreal green moss pine forest ^ boreal green moss - dwarf shrub forests ^ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch, oak, spruce ^ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest. Another successional series is formed on gentle ridge slopes: boreal polytric pine forest ^ boreal bilberry-polytric pine forest ^ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch, oak, spruce ^ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest. We show that ecotope has the leading role in the organisation of cenoses at the early stages of succession: green moss pine forests are formed at high and relatively dry relief sites (ridges) and polytric pine forests are formed on relatively wet ridge slopes. The ecotopic mosaic is complicated by the vegetation pattern created by animals (e.g., seed hawkers) at the intermediate stages of succession. Zoochoric species appear in the community: Vaccinium vitis-idaea, Convallaria majalis, Sorbus aucuparia and Quercus robur more often take root at the top of ridges; Vaccinium myr-tillus, Frangula alnus and Picea abies grow on the slopes. The mosaic created by trees is imposed on a mosaic caused by ecotopes and animals at the final stages of succession: tree-fall gaps appear in the place of old dead trees with tree undergrowth. As a result, a heterogeneous community with a number of asynchronously developing gaps is formed in place of homogeneous pine forest.
Key words: pine forests, succession, zoochory, outwash areas.

склоновых участков зандровых местностей характерен конвергентный путь развития сообществ: из двух разных ценозов бореального состава формируется один вариант сообществ неморального состава - полидоминантный елово-широколиственный лес. Показано, что на первых этапах сукцессии ведущая роль в организации ценозов принадлежит экотопу: на повышенных относительно сухих участках рельефа (гривах) формируются сосняки зеленомошные, на относительно влажных склонах грив - сосняки долгомошные. На промежуточных этапах сукцессии экотопическая мозаика усложняется растительным узором, который создают животные - разносчики семян. В сообществе появляются зоохорные виды растений: на вершинах грив чаще приживаются Vaccinium vitis-idaea, Convallaria majalis, Sorbus aucuparia и Quercus robur, на склонах - Vac-cinium myrtillus, Frangula alnus и Picea abies. На заключительных этапах на мозаику, обусловленную экотопом и животными, накладывается мозаика, создаваемая деревьями: на месте гибели старых деревьев появляются «окна», которые зарастают подростом. В результате на месте однородного сосняка формируется сообщество с множеством асинхронно развивающихся «окон».
Ключевые слова: сосняки, сукцессия, зоохория, зандровая местность.
Introduction
According to the historical analysis of natural resource management in the territory of Eastern Europe, modern vegetation cover was formed under the influence of centuries-old human activity [1].
It is radically different from the biocenotic cover that existed before active anthropogenic changes in the Neolithic Period of the middle Holocene [2-8]. Specific examples describing anthropogenic transformations of vegetation during the Holocene can be found in works devoted to the Moscow Region [9-11], Kaluga Region [12, 13], the western slopes of the Volga Uplands [14] and Nerussa-Desna Polesie [15-18].
Nerussa-Desna Polesie is situated in the nemoral forest zone [3, 19]; however, the proportion of nemoral forests in this physiographic region accounts for only 32 % of the territory. The largest area is covered by boreal forest (48 %), among which pine forests (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominate. Wooded swamp, grass moor, sphagnum bogs (19 %) and meadows (1 %) are presented in the rest of the area. Previous studies showed that natural resource management in the past had determined the discrepancy between the modern vegetation of Nerussa-Desna Polesie and the zonal vegetation [17, 18, 20]. Another possible pathway for the reconstruction of pre-agricultural (climax, undisturbed) communities is analysis of successional changes of forest communities that are untouched by human intervention.
This paper has two main aims: (1) to analyse the succession direction of the pine forests that dominate in the territory of Nerussa-Desna Polesie and (2) to identify the type and appearance of the pre-agricultural forest community of this physiographic region.
Materials and methods
Nerussa-Desna Polesie is located in the southeastern part of the Bryansk Region of Russia. Polesie is a low-lying sandy forest plain with significant bogginess [21]. The plain is formed by alluvial and fluvioglacial sediments of the Quaternary period. The area is located at 52.5° N, 34.0° E and has an area of 280,000 hectares. The climate is temperate continental. This physiographic region is located in a nemoral forest zone [3, 19].
Nerussa-Desna Polesie refers to a Polesie subprovince of the Eastern European province of broadleaved forests according to botanical and geographical regionalisation [3]. Nemoral forests belong to the class Querco-Fagetea Br.-Bl. et Vlieger in Vlieger 1937 em. Klika 1939, and boreal forests to the class Vaccinio-Piceetea Br.-Bl. in Br.-Bl., Sissingh et Vlieger 1939 according to the eco-floristic classification of vegetation [22]. In the state nature reserve "Bryansky Les" ("Bryansk Forest"), which was established in 1987 within the Nerussa-Desna Polesie, human economic activity is completely prohibited. We found the forest communities where economic activity had stopped long before the organisation of the reserve. This allowed us to analyse development trends of forest communities.
Pine forests were chosen as the object of study as they prevail in Nerussa-Desna Polesie, accounting for over 50 % of the forest area [23]. It is believed that the zonal features are most pronounced in the communities located on the watershed plateau [24, 25]. Therefore successional transformations of communities were studied in the territory of outwash areas, which are represented by sandy watershed plains with altitudes of 155 to 165 m. The abundance of ridges and depressions is typical for out-
wash areas. The relative excess of relief is typically 1 to 3 m while ridges with elevation of 5 m are less common. The lithological profile is dominated by 10 to 15 m of sand underlain by loams. The depth of groundwater is 1.0 to 3.5 m. Soils are characterised by a small provision of elements of mineral nutrition and high acidity [18, 26].
Forest successions are characterised by long duration, which is significantly higher than the life of a researcher. Therefore drawing on the experience of other studies [2, 3] we selected spatial series of communities that are considered as time series. In this case the following rules are followed: (1) communities of the same spatial series are located in similar conditions of lithological composition and hydrological regime (i.e., within one type of site); (2) these communities have similar economic impact in the past; (3) they are represented by pine cultures that formed on the clearing areas; (4) these forest plantations were damaged several times by ground fires before protection in the reserve and (5) pine plantations are of differed age so it is possible to build a successional series of communities.
Vegetation data sampling was performed at ten temporary square sample plots of a fixed size (100 m2) randomly placed within a forest type. Eighty geo-botanical descriptions were carried out in total. A list of plant species with species abundance was made for each forest layer of the sample plots. Species abundance in each layer was assessed using the Braun-Blanquet cover scale [27].
Vascular plant diversity was assessed using the following indicators: species richness, species density, number of species in different ecological-coenotic groups (ECG) [28]. Species richness is the total number of plant species on the ten sample plots within each forest type. Species density is calculated as the average number of species per sample plot within a forest type.
Following the Russian botanist Nitsenko [29], we define an ECG as a group of species that are similar in ecological features and in constancy with the occurrence of vegetation communities of different types. The ECG concept is often used in Russia, though variability regarding group specification commonly occurs [30]. We group vascular plant species following Smirnova and Zaugolnova [28, 30, 31]. ECG classification is available on the site of the Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology in the Russian Academy of Science (http://www.impb.ru/index.php?id=div/ lce/ecg). The ratio of ECG was determined by total list of species occurring on 10 sample plots.
Individual trees at different ontogenetic stages were analysed and the vitality of trees was assessed on sample plots of 1 ha. All trees were subdivided
into groups based on height: (1) 50 cm or (2) more than 50 cm. Tree sampling of the first group of trees was performed on five sample plots of 100 m2. Tree sampling of the second group of trees was performed on sample plots of 1 ha. The ontogenetic stages of tree species are as follows: j - juvenile plant; im1 and im2 - immature plant of the first and second subgroups, respectively; v1 and v2 - vir-ginile plant of the first and second subgroups, respectively; g1 - young reproductive plant; g2 -mature generative plant; g3 - old generative plant [32-35]. To assess the dynamics of the forest vegetation, we used an earlier developed method based on the analysis of the ontogenetic structure of tree populations [36-37].
Results
Features of nature management in the Nerussa-Desna Polesie territory
Previously it was shown that the discrepancy between the boreal composition of modern forest vegetation of Nerussa-Desna Polesie and the zone of nemoral forest where the physiographic region is located was determined not only by edaphic conditions but also by peculiarities of the past nature management [17]. The analysis of nature management history showed that from the Bronze Age to the 1920's slash-and-burn agriculture was widely practiced in the Polesie Region [38]. Materials from the Bryansk Region State Archive, the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, the Russian State Historical Archive, forest inventory maps (1960, 1989) as well as literary sources [39] show that different types of cutting were conducted in the territory of Nerussa-Desna Polesie for a long time, as well as man-made fires. Peasants used fire for cleaning forest hayfields and meadows, as well as for the elimination of forest residue at logging sites. Fire is often overlooked but can ruthlessly destroy forest vegetation over large areas.
Frequent fires combined with logging over many centuries almost completely destroyed the humus-accumulative horizon. The remaining sand substrate, with its intense flushing condition, became unfavorable for most vascular plants with high soil nutritional needs. Only bryophytes and some boreal vascular plants, which do not have high mineral nutritional element demands, survived in the sandy soils. In addition, Scots Pine cultures were created actively in the sand according to the circular of the Russian Forest Department of the 19th century [40]. Oligotrophic properties of pines [41] proved to be useful for their cultivation in large sandy areas. As a result, pine forests composed of boreal species were formed on the most part of the outwash terrain [18, 42].
Succession transformation of pine forests in the Nerussa-Desna Polesie territory
The spatial structure of monodominant pine communities on outwash terrain is defined by the ridge-depression topography (Fig. 1). It is believed that flowing waters had formed this relief on laminose and without-rubble sands [43]. Currently, most of the boreal forest at the top of ridges in the outwash terrain is represented by green moss pine forest. On the slopes polytric pine forests are found and in the depressions sphagnum pine forests are found. Two succes-sional series of communities are analysed in this paper: (1) those on the tops of ridges and (2) those on the gentle slopes of the ridges. The communities differ not only in terms of species composition but also in the character of succes-
sional changes of these ecotopes. We will consider these features in the following sections.
Succession changes of pine forests at the tops of ridges (see Fig. 1, T). Poor, dry, sod-podzolic sandy soils with deep groundwater up to 1.5 to 3.5 m are characteristic of these habitats in the early stages of succession. Four stages of pine forests succession, which follow each other consistently, are allocated here: boreal green moss pine forest ^ boreal green moss-dwarf shrub forests with oak undergrowth (Quercus robur L.) ^ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch (Betula spp.), oak (Quercus robur L.), spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) with undergrowth of Tilia cordata Mill., Acer platanoides L. and with an understorey of Corylus avellana L. ^ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest.

Tracts of outwash areas: U1 - ridge, U2 - inter-ridge depression (D). Facies of ridges: T - the top of ridges, S - the slopes of ridges. Quaternary sediments: 1 - sand, 2 - peat, 3 - loam.

Ps - Pinus sylvestris, Ag - Alnus glutinosa. A thick vertical line shows the boundary between the localities. Thin vertical lines show the boundaries between the natural boundaries. The boundaries between facies are shown by vertical dotted lines. Horizontal axis - profile length in metres; vertical axis - height above the sea level in metres
The first stage: boreal green moss pine forest (Fig. 2, 1T; Fig. 3, 1). These communities are represented mainly by pine cultures (20 to 40 years) that repeatedly experienced ground fires before the organisation of nature reserve. Individuals of v and gi stages are dominant in the tree stand. Undergrowth of woody plants is weak (a total projective cover degree of less than 5 %) because of frequent
extermination by fire. Undergrowth is composed of Betula pendula Roth, Quercus robur, Frangula al-nus Mill. and Sorbus aucuparia L. These plants presented solely immature individuals of coppice originating in the first years after a ground fire. Sometimes there are v individuals of Quercus robur and Betula pendula, which due to their thick bark survived after ground fire keeping cambium
at the base part of trunk. J and im seed individuals of Quercus robur occasionally appear in the community. Jay (Garrulus glandarius (Linnaeus)) and
nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes (Linnaeus)) carry acorns. These birds move acorns over a distance of approximately 450 m [44, 45].

Communities: 1T - boreal green moss pine forest on top of the ridge, 1S - boreal polytric pine forest on a gentle slope of the ridge, 1D - sphagnum pine forest in depressions. Plant species: B.spp. - Betula pendula and B. pubescens, Fa - Frangula alnus, Ps - Pinus sylvestris, Sa - Sorbus aucuparia. Ontogenetic stages: v2 - virginal plant of first subgroup, g1 - young generative plant. Horizontal axis - profile length in metres; vertical axis - height above water level in metres
Frequent ground fires before the creation of the reserve led to the dominance of bryophytes in the ground cover. Green mosses Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt. and Dicranum scoparium Hedw. dominate here and their projective cover degree reaches 100 %. Because of abundant sporulation these species first colonise exposed substrate arising from ground fires. The rapid formation of moss cover is provided by the fact that individual patches of bryophytes are stored in areas unaffected by the fire. Fire eliminates the potential invasion of herbs and dwarf shrubs (whose degree of coverage is no more than 15 %) and species richness (15 species per 100 m2) (Table 1). Only single plants of boreal, piny and dry meadow groups survived. Renewal buds of Cala-magrostis epigeios (L.) Roth are protected by a layer of soil from fire damage and renewal buds of cespitose grass Festuca ovina L. are protected
by vaginate leaves. Small areas of litter not affected by fire contain viable seeds of Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull, Melampyrum pratense L. and Solidago virgaurea L., as well as fragments of viable rhizomes of Peucedanum oreoselinum (L.) Moench, Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. and V. myrtil-lus L.
Phase duration is determined by the time required for the formation of a dense cover of dwarf shrubs. The distance between the surviving partial clumps of Vaccinium vitis-idaea and V. myrtillus is 5 to 10 m and the average annual growth of these species of rhizomes is 10 to 20 cm [46] in green moss pine forest. In this case, the dwarf shrubs can fully close in 15 to 25 years. Periodic ground fires may delay the development of dwarf shrub synusia for a long time outside the reserve. It is therefore possible to find 120-year old green moss pine forests.

The second stage: boreal green moss - dwarf shrub forests with oak undergrowth (Fig. 3, II). Two variants of the communities are presented here. The first variant of community, the cowberry green moss pine forests are located at the tops of sandy ridges, and the second variant, bilberry green moss pine forests are located on sloping surfaces (Figs. 3-6). Usually, young and mature generative pine trees represent the upper tree layer.
The lack of ground fires over the last 25 to 50 years resulted in the following changes in the community. Firstly, a pronounced layer of shrubs and tree undergrowth with projective cover of 15 to 20 % has been formed. Picea abies (L.) Karst. appears in this composition in addition to Quercus robur, Betula pendula, Sorbus aucuparia and Frangula alnus. Some individuals reach g1 ontogenetic stage in Betula pendula coenopopulations and v stage in coenopopulations of Quercus robur and Picea abies. The number of j and im individuals in coenopopulations of Frangula alnus and Sorbus aucuparia increases 10- to 30-fold in comparison to the previous plant community. This is due to vegeta-
tive propagation of individuals and seed drift from surrounding communities. In addition, virginile and young generative undergrowth trees provide a convenient perch for the birds that actively spread the seeds of Frangula alnus and Sorbus aucuparia.
Secondly, coverage of bryophytes decreases in ground cover and the coverage of dwarf shrubs and herbs increases. Dwarf shrubs are mainly represented by Vaccinium vitis-idaea and V. myrtillus. Cover of xeromorphic Vaccinium vitis-idaea usually develops at the tops of sandy ridges and cover of mesomorphic V. myrtillus on slopes. The relatively rapid formation of a dwarf shrub layer is determined by three factors: (1) species with low soil mineral nutrient demands [47]; (2) vegetative growth of individuals and (3) seed drift from surrounding areas. Birds and mammals disperse seeds of Vaccinium vitis-idaea and V. myrtillus [48-51] and it is observed that individuals of these species originating from seed can appear up to three or four hundred metres from the fruit-bearing plants. The average species richness of the community is 14 species of vascular plants (see Table 1).

Communities: 2T - boreal green moss - dwarf shrub pine forest with oak undergrowth at the top of the ridge, 2S - boreal bilberry-polytric pine forest with spruce on a gentle slope of ridge, 2D - tussock cottongrass / sphagnum pine forest in the depressions. Plant species: Bv - Betula pendula, Bp - B. pubescens, Fa - Frangula alnus, Pa - Picea abies, Ps - Pinus sylvestris, Sa - Sorbus aucuparia, Qr - quercus robur. Ontogenic state of trees: im2 - immature plant of second subgroup, v, - virginile plant of first subgroup, v2 - virginile plant of first subgroup, g, - young generative plant, g2 - mature generative plant. Horizontal axis - profile length in metres; vertical axis - height above water level in metres
Phase duration is determined by the time necessary for Quercus robur and Picea abies undergrowth to form a closed canopy over the layer of dwarf shrubs and corresponds to the length of its virginile ontogenetic stage, which is 40 to 50 years.
The third stage: boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch (Betula spp.), oak (Quercus robur), spruce (Picea abies) with undergrowth of Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides and an understorey of Corylus avellana (see Fig. 4, 3TS). Mainly mature generative pine and birch trees represent the tree canopy layer. The total vegetation cover of the understorey layer is 60 to 80 %. The maximum number of Quercus robur and Picea abies undergrowth accounts for the v ontogenetic stage. A shady canopy of Quercus robur, Betula pendula and Picea abies creates favourable conditions for seedlings of Acer platanoides, Tilia cordata and Malus sylvestris Mill. Juvenile, immature and virginile individuals were represented in coe-nopopulations of these species over the sixty years after the last ground fire. Shrub synusia replenished by Corylus avellana and Euonymus verruco-sa Scop. Corylus avellana has time to form a dense
undergrowth layer consisting of generative individuals. Seeds of trees and shrubs are brought by animals from refuges of spruce broad-leaved forests located in small river valleys in the moraine-outwash areas (see Fig. 6): Sitta europaea Linnaeus, Parus palustris Linnaeus, P. montanus Balden-stein and P. ater Linnaeus pull apart and store Acer platanoides and Tilia cordata seeds [45]; Garrulus glandarius and Nucifraga caryocatactes disperse Corylus avellana seeds [52]; Sylvia spp. and Tur-dus spp. eat and disperse Euonymus verrucosa seds [53], and other mammal species help distribute Malus sylvestris [54-56]. The study of tree species regeneration showed that seedlings of Tilia cordata and Corylus avellana appear within 200 m of the parent plant; seedlings of Acer platanoides and Eu-onymus verrucosa appear 260 m from the parent plant and seedlings of Malus sylvestris appear 960 m from the parent plant [57].
Increasing crown density of the upper layers promotes the following changes in the ground cover: (1) bryophytes and dwarf shrubs disappear almost completely; (2) the average species richness of vascular plants is 35 species and (3) dominance in
herb synusia proceeds to nemoral group (see Table 1). However, high participation of boreal plants (Dry-opteris carthusiana (Vill.) H. P. Fuchs, Maianthe-mum bifolium (L.) F. W. Schmidt, Melampyrum pratense, Orthilia secunda (L.) House, Pyrola ro-tundifolia L., Rubus saxatilis L.) still remains. Among the nemoral species to appear are: Ae-gopodium podagraria L., Asarum europaeum L., Carex pilosa Scop., Galeobdolon luteum Huds., Galium intermedium Schult., Lathyrus vernus (L.) Bernh., Melica nutans L., Milium effusum L., Plat-anthera bifolia (L.) Rich., Stellaria holostea L. and Viola mirabilis L. Ingrowth of these species in a community is determined by shading that creates the undergrowth layer. Observations showed that the seed individuals of Aegopodium podagraria, Carex pilosa and Stellaria holostea appear 200 to 300 m from the generative plants that survived in nemoral flora refugia, that being the spruce broad-leaved forests along the banks of small rivers and streams (see Fig. 5). Primarily cloven-hoofed mammals transfer seeds over this distance. They can
be moved over a distance of 80 to 600 m during the time interval between regular defecation [58, 59].
Phase duration is determined by time that is needed for Quercus robur and Picea abies to grow to the upper tree layer and due to the length of their gi stage (30 to 50 years).
The fourth stage: nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest (Fig. 3, IV; Fig. 4, 4TS-1; Fig. 7, 4T). Recovery succession leads to the formation of polydominant coniferous broad-leaved forest where nemoral plant species dominate after a long-term absence of fire (120 years or more). Old pine trees gradually fall from the stands but oak, spruce and birch are located in the tree canopy layer in these communities. Treefall gaps appear at sites of dead trees (see Fig. 3, 18-20). Full-membered coenopopulations of shade-tolerant tree species (Picea abies, Acer platanoides, Tilia cordata), which first invade in post-fire pine forest, are formed. At the same time, undergrowth of Padus avium Mill., Ulmus glabra Huds. and Frax-inus excelsior L. appears here.

Diverse birds and mammals distribute Padus avium fruits [44, 60]. Seedlings of this species are detected at a distance of 900 m from the fructiferous individuals due to endozoochory [57]. Tetrastes bonasia, Sitta europaea, Chloris chloris (Linnaeus) and Sturnus vulgaris Linnaeus eat Ulmus glabra seeds; Fringilla montifringilla Linnaeus, Spinus spinus (Linnaeus), Pyrrhula pyrrhu-la (Linnaeus), Sitta europaea, Coccothraustes coccothraustes (Linnaeus) and Carpodacus erythrinus (Pallas) eat ash seeds. However, Fraxi-nus excelsior seeds are pulled apart actively and stores only by Sitta europaea while other birds destroy them [60]. A study of seedlings found that young plants of Fraxinus excelsior appear 250 m from generative trees, and Ulmus glabra seedling 150 m from generative trees [57, 61]. Fraxinus excelsior, Ulmus glabra and Padus avium are mega-trophic plants [47, 62]. Suitable soil conditions for
these species are created in forests during the later stages of succession. Treefalls form mosaics of pit-and-mound microtopography and deadwood variables. Traces of treefalls of different ages and systems of root entrances (rhizotectonics) are formed in the soil cover. Formed by previous generations of trees and treefalls, mosaics and rhizotectonics are used by young trees roots to attain deeper growth [8]. Studies of soil scientists showed that treefall mosaics and rhizotectonics increase the capacity of channel migration of solutes, contribute to the accumulation of soil organic matter, retain moisture for a long time and increase the vertical redistribution of organic matter by mesofauna [63]. All this creates conditions for settling of species with high soil nutritional needs.
Shading and increased soil fertility result in the dominance of nemoral species in the field layer where their projective cover reaches 100 %. Species
richness of herb synusia remains at the same level (see Table 1). According to vegetation data sampling the following species of nemoral plants are present: Adoxa moschatellina L., Alliaria petiolata (Bieb.) Cavara & Grande, Festuca altissima All., Dentaria bulbifera L., Dryopteris filix-mas (L.) Schott, Galium odoratum (L.) Scop., Glechoma hederacea L., Lathraea squamaria L., Mercurialis perennis L., Neottia nidus-avis (L.) Rich., Paris quadrifolia L., Platanthera bifolia and others.
Phase duration corresponds to time length of g2 and g3 stages of Quercus robur (230 to 250 years). After this period the oak falls out of the community due to poor shade tolerance and spruce broad-leaved forest without oak is formed.
Succession transformation of pine forests on gentle slopes of ridges (see Fig. 1, S). These eco-topes are characterised by poor, sod-podzolic, gley sandy soils with variable excessive moisture in the early stages of succession. Sometimes the soil is covered with a thin layer of peat (up to 10 cm). Ground water does not fall below 20 to 70 cm in mid-summer.
Four stages are assigned in the development of post-fire communities: boreal polytric pine forest
^ boreal bilberry-polytric pine forest with spruce undergrowth ^ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch (Betula spp.), oak (Quercus robur L.), spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) with undergrowth of Tilia cordata Mill., Acer plat-anoides L. and with an understorey of Corylus avellana L. ^ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest.
The first stage: boreal polytric pine forest (see Fig. 2, 1S; Fig. 3, 2). The tree canopy layer consists of v and g1 pines. In most cases, pines are 20 to 40 years old. Betulapubescens Ehrh., Salix cinerea L. and Frangula alnus individuals of coppice origin are found sporadically in undergrowth. Poly-tric moss (Polytrichum commune Hedw.) dominates in the bottom layer (projective cover of 80 %). Polytric moss cover does not prevent regeneration of Picea abies and j and im individuals meet regularly. Species richness in the field layer is small (see Table 2). Single individuals of boreal species (Vac-cinium myrtillus, Trientalis europaea L., Lycopo-dium annotinum L. and other) and sphagnum-bog species (Carex globularis L., Ledum palustre L. and Vaccinium uliginosum L.) represent the herb and dwarf shrub species.

Stage duration is determined by the time necessary for the formation of dense Vaccinium myrtillus cover. Vegetative sprouting bilberry can form dense cover over 15 to 20 years.
The second stage: boreal bilberry-polytric pine forest with spruce undergrowth (Fig. 5, 2S; Fig. 3, 6; Fig. 4). The tree canopy layer consists of g1 and g2 pines with ages of 40 to 60 years. Virginile spruce
individuals and immature oak individuals appear in the undergrowth. Dominance in ground vegetation shifts from Polytrichum commune to Vaccinium myr-tillus under the forest canopy and to Molinia caerulea (L.) Moench in light sites. It forms dense cover. Species richness of dwarf shrubs and herb synusiae is small and is still represented by species of boreal and sphagnum-bog groups (see Table 2).
Stage duration is determined by the time needed for spruce and oak undergrowth to form a dense shrub layer canopy and is equal to the length of their v ontogenetic stage (40 to 50 years).
The third stage: boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch (Betula spp.), oak (Quer-cus robur), spruce (Picea abies), with undergrowth of Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides and with an understorey of Corylus avellana (see Fig. 4, 3TS). The tree canopy layer consists of g2 pines and birches as well as g1 spruces and oaks. Pines age from 60 to 120 years. Undergrowth of Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides, Malus sylvestris, Popu-lus tremula and shrubs, including Corylus avellana, Euonymus verrucosa and Viburnum opulus L. appear in the understorey layer. The degree of un-derstorey layer coverage is 80 % and is defined by the following changes in the ground vegetation: (1) synusia of ground bryophytes becomes fragmented; (2) dense cover of Vaccinium myrtillus and Molinia caerulea is destroyed; (3) species richness is doubled in comparison with the previous stage and (4) nemoral and boreal species groups co-dominate (see Table 2).
Stage duration is determined by the time needed for spruce and oak to grow into a tree canopy layer and is equal to the length of their g1 ontogenetic stage (30 to 50 years). Communities on the tops of ridges and on slopes are similar to each other after the third stage. A similar species composition of tree and shrub synusiae and similar ratios in coverage of species groups of different eco-cenotic groups testifies to this.
The fourth stage: nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest (see Fig. 3, IV; Fig. 4, 4TS-1; Fig. 7, 4S). The tree canopy layer consists of g3 pine and birch, g2 spruce and oak, as well as g1 linden and maple. Fraxinus excelsior, Ulmus glabra and Swida sanguinea (L.) Opiz. appear in the understorey layer. Seeds of Swida sanguinea are spread by different species of birds: Tetrastes bonasia (Linnaeus), Bombycilla garrulus (Linnaeus), Ficedula spp., Phoenicurus spp., Turdus spp., Coccothraustes coccothraustes (Linnaeus) and Pyrrhula pyrrhula (Linnaeus) [60].
Nemoral species dominate the ground vegetation. Species richness is highest of all stages (see Table 2) due to the following circumstances:
(1) the enhanced community, which is attractive to birds that carry the seeds (there are also additional places to hide and nest in the form of treefall gaps with undergrowth, hollows in old tree trunks etc.);
(2) acorns of fruiting oak attract wild boars, which nuzzle soil and create favourable substrate for the growth of short-lived plants (Impatiens noli-tangere L., Moehringia trinervia (L.) Clairv, etc.);
(3) an increase in the volume of deadwood where Solanum dulcamara L., Athyrium filix-femina (L.) Roth and Dryopteris filix-mas grow and (4) anem-ochorous plants with small diasporas appear in the herb cover: Botrychium virginianum (L.) Sw, Hu-perzia selago (L.) Bernh. ex Schrank & C. Mart., Gymnocarpium dryopteris (L.) Newm., Dryopteris expansa (C. Presl) Fraser-Jenkins & Jermy, Listera ovata (L.) R. Br., Platanthera bifolia and Coral-lorrhiza trifida Chatel.
Stage duration is determined by the duration of g2 and g3 stages of oak and spruce (230 to 250 years). After this period oak will completely fall out of the community.
Conclusion
Pine forests in outwash areas form two succes-sional series developed under different ecotopical conditions. The following successional series occurs at the tops of ridges: boreal green moss pine forest ■ boreal green moss - dwarf shrub forests
■ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch, oak, spruce ■ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest. The other successional series is formed on gentle ridge slopes: boreal polytric pine forest ■ boreal bilberry-polytric pine forest
■ boreo-nemoral pine forest with admixture of birch, oak, spruce ■ nemoral polydominant spruce broad-leaved forest. These series show that elevated and sloping sites of outwash areas are characterised by a convergent path of community development in which two different phytocenoses form one final community variant .
The analysis of the successional changes of the boreal pine forests showed that in different ecotop-ical conditions (top and slopes of ridges) the zonal community type was formed gradually and was represented by spruce broad-leaved forests with nemoral species composition. It demonstrates that boreal pine forests are secondary variants of zonal communities. The boreal pine forests were formed on the sites of spruce broad-leaved forest as a result of human impact such as fires, felling and forest plantations over many centuries.
Successional changes are based on seed dispersal, especially by animals. They provide plant diasporas drift to pine forests from refugia of spruce broad-leaved forests, which have been preserved along the sides of small rivers and stream valleys. The number of species and abundance of nesting bird populations increased two or more fold during the process of spruce broad-leaved forest formation and with increasing community mosaic complexity [64]. Additionally, the number of ungulates in the spruce broad-leaved forest is much higher than in pine forest [65]. All this contributes to the expan-
sion of animal species that act as distributors of seeds and activate drift of plant diasporas from the surrounding areas during succession.
In early stages of succession ecotopes play the leading role in the spatial organisation of cenoses: green moss pine forests are formed on relatively dry sites on the top of ridges, while polytric pine forests are formed in relatively moist slope sites. Ecotopic mosaics are complicated by vegetation patterns caused by animals (carriers of seeds) in the intermediate stages of succession. Endo- and sin-zoochoric plant species appear in the community. For example, Vaccinium vitis-idaea, Convallar-ia majalis, Sorbus aucuparia and Quercus robur often take root at the top of ridges, while Vaccini-um myrtillus, Frangula alnus and Picea abies take root on the slopes. Mosaics created by trees are superimposed on a mosaic resulting from ecotopes and animals in the final stages of succession: tree-fall gaps appear after the death of old trees and gaps are overgrown with undergrowth. As a result, a community with a number of asynchronously developing gaps is formed in the place of homogeneous pine forest.
Three groups of species in tree and shrub synu-siae are allocated based on features of their appearance in the successional series. The first group includes Quercus robur, Picea abies, Betula pendula, B. pubescens, Frangula alnus and Sorbus aucuparia. These species are introduced into the pine forests at the early stages of succession. Representatives of this group are able first to take root in poor sandy substrate due to their low soil nutrient demand [62]. The second group includes meso-trophic species: Acer platanoides, Tilia cordata, Populus tremula, Malus sylvestris, Corylus avellana, Euonymus verrucosa. These species are being actively moved into forest communities after relatively oligotrophic species (Quercus robur, Picea abies, Betula pendula) reach the tree canopy layer and form a suitable environment for their colonisation. The third group includes megatrophic species: Ulmus glabra, Fraxinus excelsior and Swida sanguinea. Often these species appear in the communities during the final stages of succession when a humus-accumulation horizon is formed in the soil
cover with treefall mosaics with rhizotectonics is formed, which are necessary for the growth of young tree roots.
The gradual invasion of tree species to the forest community formed the poly dominant coniferous broad-leaved forest. However, the existence of Quercus robur and Pinus sylvestris is limited to the first generation in these communities because undergrowth of these species is not able to grow due to poor shade tolerance under dark forest canopy [3, 66, 67]. As a result, spruce-broadleaved forests without pine and oak will represent the final stages of forest succession in outwash areas (see Fig. 4, 4TS-2).
The coverage of species of different ecological-coenotic groups changes in the synusiae of herbs and dwarf shrubs during succession. Boreal species dominate at the early stages of succession; boreal, dry meadow and nemoral species groups co-dominate at the intermediate stages and nemoral species dominate at the final stages. Maximum species richness of herb synusia is typical during the third and fourth stages of succession. Species of boreal, dry meadow and nemoral groups are represented in significant number during the third stage. This is due to the fact that a dense layer of undergrowth of late-successional tree species, which displaces the light-loving meadow and boreal species, has not yet formed at this stage. High species richness at the fourth stage is determined by the increased frequency of rare plant species in Nerussa-Desna Polesie.
Fires provoked by man limit the invasion of plants and delay the recovery processes for a long time. Elongated and shortened cycles of vegetation development are formed. Shortened cycles occur when fire affects communities at the early stages of succession and elongated cycles occur if fire destroys cenoses at the final stages of succession. Additionally, not all pine forests in outwash areas are transformed into spruce broad-leaved forests with a full set of plant species during succession. This happens if community does not receive a sufficient number of diasporas of some species from the surrounding areas. In this case, the final stage of succession will be a diasporic sub-climax.
