This article discusses the two main factors of anthropogenic impacts on forest ecosystems: recreation and anthropogenic air pollution. Degree of impact of these factors on tree species is compared via corresponding reduction in growth of Scots pine shoots, due to their separate and joint action. Growth of pine shoots was measured on sections of four categories: 1) areas subjected only to technogenic impact, 2) areas subjected only to the recreational exposure, 3) areas experiencing complex (anthropogenic and recreational) effects, 4) control (without anthropogenic influence).
