Indicative phenotypic plasticity of Plantago major L. in conditions of anthropogenic transformation of Donbass

The article presents the results of studying the level and specificity of variability, correlation of structures by morphometric features in Plantago major L. cenopopulations in conditions of anthropogenically transformed ecotopes of one of the industrial centers of Donbass – Makeyevka. Three groups of systemic features of indicators were revealed: taxonomic, ecological-biological, ecological. The feature that has the greatest diagnostic value is the number of generative shoots (Nr). A pattern of increasing variability and strength of connection of the studied features of P. major cenopopulation individuals with increasing anthropogenic load was established.
