The dynamics of the radial increment of a 150-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) tree stand in the Usmansky pine forest, Voronezh region (island forest of the forest-steppe of the Russian Plain), was studied as an indicator of the dynamics of climatic conditions and the basis of tree stand productivity. The cyclical dynamics of the increment of total, early and late wood of Scots pine over a period of more than a century was revealed, due to the influence of growth-limiting climate factor
