Physiological and biochemical characteristic features of small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) In urban environment

Abstract

The article presents the physiological and biochemical features of small-leaved lime growing in urban plantings of different ecological categories: parklands, highways and plantations of sanitary protective zones of industrial enterprises. The content of photosynthetic pigments, secondary metabolites - tannin and ascorbic acid, peroxydase enzyme activity in leaves is significantly influenced by the degree of technogenic impact, vegetation period and the spatial orientation of the assimilatory organs of plants.
