Abstract
Currently, the forest plantations of Castanea sativa Mill. are largely damaged by phytopathogenic organisms, of which Cryphoneciria parasitica (Murrill) М. Е. Barr. has the most negative impact. The spread of this type of disease reduces the vital state and significantly reduces the life expectancy of C. sativa trees. For the first time, using dendrochronological analysis, the specificity of distribution and degree of phytopathogenic damage to C. sativa trunk tissues were assessed. It was revealed that in its lower part the dieback of the peripheral layers of wood occurs fairly evenly with a total degradation of cellular structures in the amount of 18–20%. In the middle segments of the trunk this figure increases almost twice. And the greatest degree of wood dieback is observed in the upper part of damaged trees. It was found that climatic changes of the last decades determine the strengthening of destructive processes in the woodland of C. sativa of the Caucasus.
