The paper reveals the results of taxonomic assessment, phytosanitary monitoring and general condition of the dendrocenosis the BNAU main building the courtyard. It is established that the age structure of plantations ranges from 10 to 80 years, with 60 years old plants to make 12 %. The group of woody plants aged from 41 to 50 years is most numerous (33 % of the total number of trees); the larges number of shrubs ages 16–20 years (6 %). The structure of the dendrocenosis of the courtyard is formed by species of woody plants, the share of their participation ranges from 5.8 to 15 % of the total number of trees: Aesculus hippocastanum L. (15 %), Acer platanoides (9.2 %), Catalpa bignonioides Walt. (7.5 %), Populus tremula L. (6.7 %), Juglans cinerea L. (6.7 %), Ulmus glabra Huds. (6.7 %), Tilia platyphyllos Scop. (5.8 %). According to the life forms of plants, the dendrocenosis is represented by trees (81.7 %) and shrubs (183.%). The taxonomic assessment of the dendrocenosis reveals that that 120 specimens of shrubs are represented by 27 species, grouped into 23 genera of 17 families of 12 orders of 2 divisions. Magnoliophyta predominates in terms of species diversity, which is represented by 24 species from 20 genera of 16 families of 11 orders. According to the number of specimens represented by families, they can be ranked as follows: Sapindaceae Juss. > Juglandaceae DC. ex Perleb> Malvaceae Juss. > Bignoniaceae Juss. > Ulmaceae Mirb. > Salicaceae Mirb. > Oleaceae Hoffmanns. & Link> Anacardiaceae R.Br. > Fabaceae Juss. > Adoxaceae E.Mey. > Paeoniaceae Raf. According to the number of woody plants, the relative living condition of the dendrocenosis is 75 %, which characterizes the weakened condition of the stand of the BNAU main building courtyard. The best living condition was observed in 46 % of the species stand such as Picea abies L., Pinus sylvestris L., Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, Fraxinus excelsior L., Styphnolobium japonicum L., Carpinus betulus L., Rhus typhina L., Acer negundo L., Tilia cordata Mill. Under the influence of various biotic and abiotic factors, 26 % of shrubs are in a weakened state, 17 % are severely weakened, 11 % are withered. Key words: dendrocenosis, tree-shrub vegetation, species, genus, family, living condition.

The morphological and physicochemical traits of leaves are important in terms of plant adaptation to various growth environments, because such traits play central roles in various functions including photosynthesis. We measured the toughness, mass per unit area (LMA), nitrogen content, and δ15N levels of the leaves of different life-forms of 39 broadleaf woody plants in interior Alaska. The plants were divided into three life-forms based on the maximum height of adult plants: understory (<1 m), small (≥1 m to <5 m), and canopy (≥5 m). Evergreen species accounted for a large proportion of understory woody plants (44%), whereas most small (87%) and canopy (100%) trees were deciduous. Higher LMA, increased toughness, and higher C-to-N ratios prolonged leaf life-span in evergreen species. We also evaluated the presence or absence of bundle-sheath extensions (BSEs), which contribute to the mechanical support of leaves and enhance photosynthetic ability by improving hydraulic properties. In total, 11 species (28%) had homobaric leaves (BSEs were absent) and 28 species (72%) had heterobaric leaves; these proportions are similar to those of woody plants of other temperate deciduous forests. The δ15N values reflected the presence of root symbionts such as ericoid mycorrhiza or Frankia sp. Our results suggest that leaf traits may affect both the life-form of the host plants and leaf longevity in both evergreen and deciduous species.

Abstract Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations constrain photosynthetic and metabolic processes, growth and the productivity of plants. Their stoichiometry and scaling relationships regulate the allocation of N and P from subcellular to organism, and even ecosystem levels, and are crucial to the modelling of plant growth and nutrient cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Prior work has revealed a general biogeographic pattern of leaf N and P stoichiometric relationships and shown that leaf N scales roughly as two-thirds the power of P. However, determining whether and how leaf N and P stoichiometries, especially their scaling exponents, change with functional groups and environmental conditions requires further verification. In this study, we compiled a global data set and documented the global leaf N and P concentrations and the N:P ratios by functional group, climate zone and continent. The global overall mean leaf N and P concentrations were 18.9 mg g−1 and 1.2 mg g−1, respectively, with significantly higher concentrations in herbaceous than woody plants (21.72 mg g−1 vs. 18.22 mg g−1 for N; and 1.64 mg g−1 vs. 1.10 mg g−1 for P). Both leaf N and P showed higher concentrations at high latitudes than low latitudes. Among six continents, Europe had the highest N and P concentrations (20.79 and 1.54 mg g−1) and Oceania had the smallest values (10.01 and 0.46 mg g−1). These numerical values may be used as a basis for the comparison of other individual studies. Further, we found that the scaling exponent varied significantly across different functional groups, latitudinal zones, ecoregions and sites. The exponents of herbaceous and woody plants were 0.659 and 0.705, respectively, with significant latitudinal patterns decreasing from tropical to temperate to boreal zones. At sites with a sample size ≥10, the values fluctuated from 0.366 to 1.928, with an average of 0.841. Several factors including the intrinsic attributes of different life forms, P-related growth rates and relative nutrient availability of soils likely account for the inconstant exponents of leaf N vs. P scaling relationships.

Problem. It is important to identify the diversity of dendroflora in the territories of nature reserves, including man-made objects. The dendroflora of Odesa parks has not been studied systematically, and some publications on the topic concern either the dendroflora of the city as a whole or the description of individual parks. Moreover, these data are partially outdated and do not reflect the current state of greenery. Aim. To conduct an inventory of tree and shrub plants of the park-monument of landscape art of local significance "Park of the V.P. Filatov Institute”, analysis of the taxonomic structure of dendroflora, diversity of plant life forms, age and quantitative composition of green plantations and detection of phytososophytic plants in the park. Methods. During the inventory of tree plantations in the park the continuous account of plantings was carried out. Identification of dendroflora species was carried out using modern reference books and determinants. Definitions of life forms (tree, bush, vine) were determined by I.G. Serebryakov. Species names of trees and shrubs were given according to floristic reports and the Determinant. The age of trees and shrubs was determined by analyzing biometric indicators. The condition of trees and their decorative features were studied. Main results. In 2020 dendroflora of the monument park of garden artistry of local importance “Park of V.P. Filatov Institute” in Odesa was inventoried. 111 species of woody plants, which belong to 77 genera, 35 families, 2 classes and 2 divisions were identified, of which: trees - 66 species (59.5%), bushes - 39 species (35.1%), lianas - 6 species (5.4%). The Pinophyta division includes 22 species from 13 genera and 5 families. In terms of the number of species Cypressaceae (12 species) and Pinaceae (8 species) are leading families, and Juniperus is a leading genus. The Magnoliophyta division includes 89 species from 64 genera and 30 families. Families Rosaceae (23 species), Salicaceae (8 species), Fabaceae (7 species), Aceraceae and Oleaceae (per 5 species each) are the leading ones in terms of the number of species. Genera maple (Acer) and poplar (Populus) are the leading ones in terms of the number of species. Decorative forms for 9 species have been identified. There are 1019 specimens of woody plants in the park, 86 specimens of trees of 15 species have trunk diameter of more than 50 cm. Among phytososophytes there is one species, which is listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009) - yew (Taxus baccata) and 31 species of plants included in the Red List of Threatened Species IUCN (2012), in total 178 specimens of plants of the studied park are a subject to special protection. Conclusions. Trees, which were planted in the first half of the twentieth century, have historical and cultural significance as living witnesses of the activities of Academician V.P. Filatov and his associates.

Abstract The chromosome numbers and frequency of polyploids were compared in life forms of Asteraceae, Poaceae and Rosaceae. Both parameters were higher in Poaceae and Rosaceae than in Asteraceae. Among the life forms, long-lived plants including perennials and woody plants (shrubs and trees) generally had higher chromosome numbers and consequently polyploid frequencies than short-lived species (annuals and biennials). The families surveyed have different frequencies of life forms. Asteraceae and Rosaceae are both dicots, but the life forms in Asteraceae are more similar to Poaceae than to Rosaceae. To separate the influence of life form, in a series of tests we compared life forms from the same families. These results also showed that long-lived forms generally have more chromosomes than short-lived ones.

The relevance of the research is related to the improvement of the sustainability of park stands of the Rostov region, which have historical significance and conservation status. The longterm monitoring of the accumulation of heavy metals contributes to the establishment of the biogeochemical role of woody plants. The purpose of the research is to identify the biogeochemical activity of parkland stands of the steppe zone based on the study of the species and age composition of woody plants and the biological absorption coefficients of heavy metals. The coefficient of biological absorption (CBP) reflects the degree of concentration of the element in plants compared with adjacent media. KBP the ratio of the content of the element in the dry matter to the content in the soil on which they grow. This coefficient characterizes the intensity of extraction of chemical elements from the soil. In this case, the PCU for each element is largely determined by both chemical properties and the need of plants. The objects of research are parklands of RostovonDon, Taganrog, Novocherkassk, Azov and Bataysk. They are represented by trees aged 4050 years (7580). Trees over the age of 50 years (25) are found in the city of Taganrog. On the territory of the parks of Bataysk, a fairly large percentage of plantations (37) are represented by trees up to 20 years. It has been established that the species composition of park stands is represented by 11 species (Quercus robur L., Aesculus hippocastanum L., Ulmus laevis Pall, Fraxinus excelsior L., Fraxinus lanceolata Borkh, Robinia pseudoacacia L., Tilia platyphyllos Scop, Acer platanoides L., Acer negundo L., Populus alba L., Populus sowietica pyramidalis Jabl.) from 8 families (Fagaceae, Hippocastanaceae, Ulmaceae, Oleaceae, Fabaceae, Tiliaceae, Aceraceae, Salicaceae). Revealed dominant species in the park landscapes of the studied cities. Based on the monitoring of the park landscapes of the city of RostovonDon, it was revealed that during the growing season, the largest amount of metals deposited on the leaf surfaces of maple and linden. The selectivity of metal deposition by individual species is manifested in the accumulation of certain metals by them. On all studied objects (20022018), total accumulation of heavy metals by leaves of woody plants was calculated. The maximum coefficients of biological absorption were established: according to Zn(Populus sowietica pyramidalis, Populus alba, Ulmus laevis) Cu (Fraxinus excelsior, Aesculus hippocastanum, Quercus robur) Ni (Acer platanoides, Populus alba, Ulmus laevis). The minimum coefficient of biological absorption is set for Zn and Cu for Acer negundo, for Ni Tilia platyphyllos. A register of woody plants has been compiled to reduce the biogeochemical activity coefficient: Fraxinus excelsior Populus sowietica pyramidalis Populus alba (0,4) Aesculus hippocastanum Quercus robur (0,3) Acer platanoides Tilia platyphyllos Ulmus laevis Robinia pseudoacaciaia (0,2) Acer negundo Fraxinus lanceolata (0,1). Thus, the content of macroelements in plants has been established, which is determined by the systematic position family, genus and species. The parameters of the coefficients of biological absorption, and their dynamics depending on time (for example, the vegetation phase), the age of the organism, the soil, are recommended to be used as indicators of sustainability and selection of the assortment when renovating historical park landscapes. Актуальность исследований связана с повышением устойчивости парковых насаждений Ростовской области, которые имеют историческое значение и природоохранный статус. Проведение многолетнего мониторинга по накоплению тяжелых металлов вносит вклад в установлении биогеохимической роли древесных растений. Цель исследований выявление биогеохимической активности парковых насаждений степной зоны на основе изучения видового, возрастного состава древесных растений и коэффициентов биологического поглощения тяжелых металлов. Коэффициент биологического поглощения (КБП) отражает степень концентрации элемента в растениях по сравнению с сопредельными средами. КБП отношение содержания элемента в сухом веществе к содержанию в почве, на которой они произрастают. Этот коэффициент характеризует интенсивность извлечения химических элементов из почвы. При этом КБП для каждого элемента во многом определяется как химическими свойствами, так и потребностью растений. Объекты исследований парковые насаждения РостованаДону, Таганрога, Новочеркасска, Азова и Батайска. Они представлены деревьями в возрасте от 4050 лет (7580). Деревья в возрасте более 50 лет (25) встречаются на территории города Таганрога. На территории парков г. Батайска довольно большой процент насаждений (37) представлен деревьями до 20 лет. Установлено, что видовой состав парковых насаждений представлен 11 видами (Quercus robur L., Aesculus hippocastanum L., Ulmus laevis Pall, Fraxinus excelsior L., Fraxinus lanceolata Borkh, Robinia pseudoacacia L., Tilia platyphyllos Scop, Acer platanoides L., Acer negundo L., Populus alba L., Populus sowietica pyramidalis Jabl.) из 8 семейств (Fagaceae, Hippocastanaceae, Ulmaceae, Oleaceae, Fabaceae, Tiliaceae, Aceraceae, Salicaceae). Выявлены доминирующие виды в парковых ландшафтах изучаемых городов. На основе мониторинга парковых ландшафтах города РостованаДону выявлено, что за вегетационный период в наибольшее количество металлов осаждалось на листовых поверхностях клёна и липы. Избирательность осаждений металлов отдельными видами проявляется в накоплении ими определённых металлов. На всех изученных объектах (20022018 гг.) были рассчитаны суммарные показатели накопления тяжёлых металлов листьями древесных растений. Установлены максимальные коэффициенты биологического поглощения: по Zn (Populus sowietica pyramidalis, Populus alba, Ulmus laevis) по Cu (Fraxinus excelsior, Aesculus hippocastanum, Quercus robur) по Ni (Acer platanoides, Populus alba, Ulmus laevis). Минимальный коэффициент биологического поглощения установлен по Zn и Cu для Acer negundo, по Ni Tilia platyphyllos. Составлен реестр древесных растений по снижению коэффициента биогеохимической активности: Fraxinus excelsior Populus sowietica pyramidalis Populus alba (0,4) Aesculus hippocastanum Quercus robur (0,3) Acer platanoides Tilia platyphyllos Ulmus laevis Robinia pseudoacacia (0,2) Acer negundo Fraxinus lanceolata (0,1). Таким образом, установлено содержание макроэлементов в растениях, которое определяется систематическим положением семейством, родом и видом. Параметры коэффициентов биологического поглощения, и их динамика в зависимости от времени (например, фазы вегетации), возраста организма, почв рекомендуется использовать в качестве индикаторов устойчивости и подбора ассортимента при реновации исторических парковых ландшафтов.

Identification of factors explaining diversity in plant responses to industrial pollution is crucial for predicting fates of polluted ecosystems. Meta-analysis based on 203 publications demonstrated that plants growing near point polluters showed similar decreases in characters reflecting growth (–13.1%) and reproduction processes (–8.5%). In herbaceous plants, root growth was reduced, while aboveground biomass did not change, because the decrease in leaf size was compensated by an increase in leaf number. In contrast, woody plants demonstrated no changes in allometry and their growth was reduced to a greater extent than growth of herbaceous plants. Raunkiaer’s classification of life forms appeared the best predictor of species’ responses to pollution. Within woody plants, trees and shrubs, but not dwarf shrubs, showed strong decreases in growth and reproduction. Within herbaceous plants, significant growth reduction was observed only in annuals. Longevity of foliage or plant phylogeny did not explain variation in species’ responses. Adverse effects of pollution were stronger in regions with higher temperature and precipitation, hinting that existing pollution loads may become more harmful for plants as climate changes. Relatively minor explanatory value of the characteristics of individual polluters removes one of the principal obstacles to accounting for the effects of pollution in vegetation models and allows extrapolation of the effects observed near point polluters to both regional and global scales. We conclude that losses in productivity of plant communities due to aerial pollution can be approximately estimated on the basis of the life form spectra and climate.

The species and quantitative composition of woody-shrub plants in public gardens in Ussuriysk (Primorye Territory) have been studied. A total of 63 taxa from 41 genera and 21 families have been recorded. Among them, by the number of species the rose family is the leader (28,6% of the total number of species), 10 families are represented by only one genus and species. The largest genus is the genus Acer L., 6 species of which are used in landscaping in the studied public gardens. The composition of woody plants is dominated by aboriginal species (69,8% of their total number), among introduced species there are plants of East Asia (9 species), North America (4 species), as well as plants of Eurasian (3 species) and European (3 species) origin. Life forms (biomorphs) are dominated by summer-green trees over 10 m in height (23 species), summer-green shrubs over 2 m in height (13 species) and summer-green shrubs 1-2 m in height (12 species). Most often in the landscaping of public gardens in the Ussuriysk city there are Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila L.), Asian white birch (Betula platyphylla Sukacz.), common ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolia (L.) Maxim.), ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo L.) and Manchu ash (Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr.).
