Influence of anthropogenic pollution on morphological-anatomical parameters and spectral characteristics of Scots pine needles

The research paper demonstrates a comprehensive comparative analysis of the state coniferous plantations in Minsk areas with favourable and predominantly unfavourable ecological situation control trees growing relatively clean territories. morphological-anatomical bilateral (in terms fluctuating asymmetry) patterns needles Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) change were revealed, reflecting severity anthropogenic press on urban environment. possibility using FTIR spectroscopy method combined chemometric algorithms for differentiation is shown. Using principal components, test samples divided into clusters extent their load.
