ABSTRACT: This article contains the preliminary study of Betula pendula Roth research in the forest steppe of East Kazakhstan. During a scientific expedition was collected research material for the study of birch plantations, as dendrochronological research of the Betula pendula Roth in the study area has not yet been carried out. Tree-ring chronologies are widely used in the reconstruction, the forecast of the environment, in the dating of historical events, and in recent years in monitoring studies. Their use fundamentally alters the normal monitoring procedure, practically at the same time giving many years material for versatile objective analysis of environmental changes.
