А period without significant abiotic influences (1997-2007) and following one (2007-2017) were compared, in which small-scale natural disaster caused by snowfalls was observed (2015). The analysis was made with variation distribution curves of the stems according to natural degrees of thickness. It is confirmed that the reason for deviations from the normality of the trees distribution is their right asymmetry as consequence of trees with smaller diameters loss as a sum result of the natural loss and the heavy snow. This is proved by analysis of the curves of mean variation rows for percent stem distribution according to natural degrees of thickness and Skewness and Kurtosis coefficients. The dynamics in the trees number distribution of both species forming the composition by Gini index was investigated as well as the diameter, height, basal area, volume and assortment structure.enDynamics of the dendrobiometrical indicatorsthickness structuretimber assortment structureGini indexScots pineAustrian black pineArticle
