ASSESSMENT OF THE VARIABILITY OF THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE LEAF BLADE OF ACER PLATANOIDES L. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURE

Were studied the morphometric parameters, fluctuating asymmetry, and the integral stability index of Aceg Phlatanoides L. leaf blades in the conditions of the technogenic environment of Shakhtersk. Has been carried out an assessment of the anthropogenic impact on the ecosystem of the city of Shakhtersk using bioindicator plants. Were determined the bilateral and single signs of the leaf blades of the holly maple. Despite the absence of a statistically significant difference between most paired bilateral parameters, with the exception of the angle of the first and second veins in the park and on the adjacent territory, there is a tendency for the arithmetic mean to shift downwards on a section of road with high traffic, which indicates the influence of anthropogenic factors on the studied objects.
