Abstract

The article presents experimental results of a comparative assessment of the pigment complex of the leaves of the English oak growing in the protective forest strips of the Stone Steppe. It is shown that the maximum level of chlorophyll a content is characteristic of the leaves of oak trees of protective forest strip No. 131 and is equal to 3.02±0.09 mg/g a.d.m. In oak leaves of forest strip No. 226, the content of this pigment is 9.6% lower. It was found that there are no statistically significant differences in the average content of chlorophyll b in the leaves of oak trees of the studied forest strips. It is shown that the content of photosynthetic pigments is an environmentally dependent indicator reflecting the vital state of plants, the nature of the ongoing physiological processes, as well as the direction of adaptive reactions when exposed to stress factors.
