Crown structure transformation (formation of secondary shoots of different orders in successive series on damaged and/or defoliated branches) is a very sensitive indicator of long-term tree damage processes (30-40 years back), and of the subsequent regenerative processes. Set of indicators, enabling to estimate stress response history of trees at branch, tree, and stand levels, was proposed. The proposed approach outlined in this paper could be used for the investigation of structural and functional changes of various ecosystems under multiple stress impacts.
