| Abstract | The relationships between the health of Pinus sylvestris trees and stands and the levels of anthropogenic stress and fragmentation of habitats have been studied based on the example of pine stands of natural origin in Yekaterinburg and its vicinity (48 sampling plots located at different distances from the center of the city). The distances from the city center and from the boundary of a built-up area to a sampling plot and the population density around this plot are taken to characterize the level of anthropogenic stress. The area and perimeter of a forest site; the distance from the boundary of a sampling plot to the forest edges; and the shape of forest edges are used to characterize the level of fragmentation of habitats. We have found that the average morphological metrics of trees have slight changes, while the traits of tree health are significantly altered under urban environment. The overall performance of stands decreases by 22–35% in the urbanization gradient. The health of stands is most substantially influenced by the forest-site area. The population density around sampling plots and the distance of these plots from the megalopolis center have a lower effect on the health of trees and stands. Fragmentation of forests in the city leads to a decrease in the size of forest sites, which causes a decrease in wood stocks and the diameter and height of trees and the deterioration of their health. The lowest area of the forest to make it sustain an urban environment is about 30 ha. The untransformed core of forest is located no less than 70 m from the forest edge. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
