Abstract
The purpose of the study is to establish the characteristics of the yew grove identified in the Tamisk district forestry of the Alagir Central Forestry of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Data on the main characteristics of phytocenoses containing yew berry are presented. The object of study is a unique yew grove in the Alagir forestry of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The main characteristics of the forest stand were established according to standard methods adopted in taxation and forestry. The counting of young generation, undergrowth and living ground cover was carried out on circular survey plots of 10 m2 in accordance with RF patent No. 2084129. For young generation and undergrowth, the composition, total number, height and viability category were established. For living ground cover, an assessment of occurrence and projective cover by species is given. The distribution of trees of each species according to thickness levels is shown. The number of yew trees at the study sites ranges from 92 to 278 pcs/ha. The biometric characteristics of trees of different heights have been determined. The results obtained serve to develop programs for the conservation and restoration of Taxus baccata.
