The results of the study of the qualitative composition and relative content of highly volatile compounds from the needles in two natural pine populations located in the forest-steppe zone in the south of Central Siberia are presented. Altogether, 89 components were isolated. Analysis of intra- and interpopulation variability of 31 terpenoids (mono- and sesquiterpene fractions) was conducted. The spatial structure of the variance of features was analyzed. Significant interpopulation differences in the content of most compounds were registered. It was determined that, as growing conditions deteriorate, the mass fraction of lighter monoterpene compounds (especially α-pinene) is increased within populations, and qualitative diversity of the components of essential oils is decreased. The groups of terpenoids, the relative content of which is to a different degree associated with interpopulation differences and variety of the growing conditions of trees within populations, were isolated.
