Abstract During the period of 1980-2020 we have studied fruit productivity of rowan in different plant communities in all vegetative subzones (southern taiga, medium taiga, coniferous-broadleaved forests) of Kirov region, Russia. The results have shown significant variations of fruiting intensity between the years of observation with no notable periodicity. The values also varied geographically and depended on weather conditions of the year. We have also defined biological and exploitation stock of rowan berries within the region.
