Abstract

The average content of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids is investigated, as well as the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of leaf blades of woody plants growing in the technogenic and background conditions (by the example of industrial enterprises of Gomel and Gomel regions). Significant differences were found for the average concentration of photosynthetic pigments in technogenic and background conditions, a positive significant correlation between the concentration of chlorophyll a and b and the ratio of fluorescence maxima in the range of 670–680 nm and 700–710 nm. The investigated woody plants are divided into groups according to the maximum chlorophyll fluorescence intensity, concentration and viability index.
