An assessment of industrial pollution of Kyiv with the spectral reflection of Tilia cordata (Tiliaceae) leaves

Abstract

Complex estimation of industrial pollution in Kyiv using spectrophotometric method for measuring the reflection characteristics of leaves of a bioindicator species, Tilia cordata Mill., was held. As the most informative indicator that determines the state of the plant (by inhibition of the photosynthesis), we selected the index of stress (reverse vegetation index). Studies on reflective characteristics of more than 500 leaves of T. cordata from 17 habitats in 7 administrative districts of Kyiv has revealed a trend of increasing index of stress along the gradient of traffic intensity. On the base of obtained results it is recommended to use this method for monitoring of environmental quality and rapid assessment of current environmental changes in urban ecosystems.

Keywords: Tilia cordata, urban ecosystem, industrial pollution, index of stress
