ASSESSMENT OF MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE QUERCUS ROBUR LEAF PLATE ON A FOREST SEED PLANTATION IN THE KIRSANOVSKY FORESTRY OF THE TAMBOV REGION

The article considers the issues of variability of the leaf plate of semi-siberian offspring of plus-sized oak trees in the conditions of the Kirsanovsky forestry of the Tambov region. As part of the research, 18 indicators were selected that allow a comprehensive assessment of the relationship both within and between populations. The assessment of the level of variability showed that the populations are quite close in terms of intrapopulation variability, however, a comprehensive assessment of the studied signs showed an increased level of variability in family No. 4. It was noted that the width from the second blade to the central vein, the length of the leaf plate to the second blade, the angle of deviation of the vein in the blade of the second and third order has increased variability. The evaluation of the dependencies between the signs showed a direct relationship between the length of the petiole and the length of the leaf plate with most of the studied signs.
