“…A rather informative method for the diagnostics of environmental toxicity is the method of using test objects of plant systems (Fedorchak, 2020;Yusypiva, Miasoid, 2019). Maňkovská and Oszlányi (2010) obtained results on atmospheric deposition of 45 elements in Báb research sites using the moss biomonitoring technique.…”

The article provides the assessment of the levels of aerotechnogenic pollution caused by the emissions from stationary pollution sources of industrial agglomerations in Zhytomyr, taking into account climatic conditions that affect the dispersion and accumulation of pollutants in soils and vegetation cover of surrounding agricultural landscapes. The examination of dust accumulated on the surface of leaves showed that it contains high concentrations of Mn, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Cu. The bioindication method with the use of white-tip radishes was applied to estimate the extent of aerotechnogenic pollution. The results of the investigation testified to the high informativeness of the offered test objects. The indexes of soil saturation with heavy metals indicated the presence of intensive processes of their accumulation. As a consequence, this territory became unsuitable for agricultural production. The inhibition of growth of radish roots identified the toxicity level of the investigated technogenic substrates as medium and higher than average. Also, there is inverse close correlation relationship between the distance from the emission source and the soil phytotoxicity indicators in all the investigated directions.

“…Landscaping of these areas with woody plant species is an important practical measure for the implementation of sustainable development in current cities [5][6][7][8][9]. Among the assortment of plants, preference is given to those with high phytoncide 1254 (2023) 012114 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1254/1/012114 2 properties [6,10,11]. In particular, such plants are conifers, which clean the air of harmful substances all year round, absorbing almost all types of chemical compounds entering the atmosphere with emissions from industry, energy, motor vehicles [12][13][14][15].…”

“…However, improving environmental conditions, coniferous plants themselves suffer from the negative effects of air pollutants, which leads to changes in their biological parameters, biochemical characteristics and, in general, to a decrease in their viability [6,11,16]. Due to this speed of reaction to pollutants substances, plants of conifers are used as environmental indicators [5,6,10,13].…”

Knowledge about current state of the trees in urban areas may be important for foresting and green planting of city landscapes and for improving environmental quality in these areas. The object of this study were to screen a range of morphometric, physiological and biochemical parameters among species of the genus spruce (Picea A. Dietr.) in urban areas of Kryvyi Rih City and to assess the ecological adaptations among species of the genus spruce (Picea A. Dietr.) along an environmental gradient in urban areas of Kryvyi Rih City. During 2017-2021, the 7 research plots in Kryvyi Rih City urban areas along an environmental gradient (low, moderate and high levels of the environmental impact) and 1 research plot in the background area (control) were established. The 30–40-year-old trees of indigenous spruce species (Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.)) and non-native spruce species (Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens var. ‘Glauca’)) were investigated. The morphometric characteristics of trees, vitality of trees and chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b content in needles were studied. The results showed that in background area the tree height (14.5-15.1 m and 11.7-12.5 m for Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce), diameter at breast height (25.3-28.1 cm and 24.6-27.2 for Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce), chlorophyll a content (0.75-1.04 mg/g of wet weight and 0.96-1.24 mg/g of wet weight for Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce) and chlorophyll b content (0.33-0.41 mg/g of wet weight and 0.42-0.50 mg/g of wet weight for Norway spruce and Colorado blue spruce) were typical of mature 30-40-year-old spruce trees. In Kryvyi Rih City urban areas the ecological stress along an environmental gradient decreased the values of growth, vitalyty and photosynthetic activity of the trees by 15-50%. Colorado blue spruce trees (non-native species) exhibit greater ecological tolerance and ecological adaptations than Norway spruce trees (indigenous species). Colorado blue spruce is less sensitive to environmental impact and have a better ecological adaptive balance of pigment content than Norway spruce. Our results confirm that from a sustainable development of the urbane areas perspective it is necessary to using the Colorado blue spruce for greene planting.

“…The accumulation of chlorine in plants causes structural and physiological deviations (Hindawi, 1968;Endress et al, 1978a,b;Schreuder, Brewer, 2001a); decrease in growth rates (Schreuder, Brewer, 2001b); yields (Vijayan, Bedi, 1989). However, despite the negative impact of industrial emissions on plants (Yusypiva, Miasoid, 2019;Fedorchak, 2020), the successful invigoration of the environment is possible by combining technical and biological methods of plant protection. The work of many researchers had shown that green plantations are essential for cleansing the environment from harmful effects of toxic gases, dust and so on (Il'kun, 1978;Nikolaevskiy, 1979;Sergeychyk, 1984;Bessonova, Zaytseva, 2008;Levon, 2014;Sklyarenko, Bessonova, 2018).…”

As a result of the activity of industrial enterprises, atmospheric air is being contaminated by gaseous pollutants. Such substances as chlorine and hydrogen chloride are considered to be harmful for both humans and plants. Vegetation is a universal filter that is able to combat the environmental pollution by industrial emissions with the help of appropriate technical facilities. The aim of this study is to analyze the level of accumulation of chlorine in the leaves of woody plants that grow in the area of forest plantations of sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises. The objects of the study were the species of woody plants in the area of protective plantations of a number of enterprises in Zaporizhzhya: ZTMC, ZALК, ZABR, Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant, Zaporizhvohnetryv, Ukrgrafit and Zaporizhtransformator. We established that during the vegetation period, a gradual accumulation of the element was the most intense in mature leaves, whose growth had already ceased. The maximum amount of chlorine was found at the end of the vegetation period. The concentration of the pollutant in leaves of woody plants in the area of sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises is linearly proportional to the level of emissions of the pollutant into the atmosphere by a given enterprise. The largest coefficient of relative accumulation of chlorine in the leaves of such plants as Catalpa bignonioides, Acer negundo, Robinia pseudoacacia, Juglans regia, Populus alba, which can be used as information sites for the purpose of bioindication of atmospheric air pollution with chlorides, was established.
