Assessment of the state environment by the complex of bioindication reactions of woody plants

Year: 2022

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This research looks at the results of bioindication studies on the territory Voronezh city. A decrease in the water content of Betula pendula mouth leaf blades was found in different growing conditions compared to the control. In the industrial and transport zone, there is a reduction in the size of leaves and a decrease in the specific leaf surface. The vital state of stands is a response to the degree of extremity of growing conditions. Healthy specimens predominate in the recreational area of the city, and severely damaged and dying ones - in the transport zone. Most of the dead-hardy trees are recorded in street plantings. Large deviations of bioindication parameters were revealed in comparison with the control in areas with increased anthropogenic load. The Betula pendula species used as the object of research is sensitive to stressful environmental conditions and can be used to assess the state of the environment during monitoring.
