The paper presents the results of research of woody plants that are most widely used
in Chita landscaping: Populus balsaminifera, Malus baccata, Ulmus pumila, Padus avium,
Caragana arborescens, Crataegus sanguinea. We determined morphometric (size, weight,
relative density, dispersion of leaves) and physiological (water content, fractional structure
of water in the leaves) indicators that adequately describe the state of the woody plants. The
studies in different ecosystems of Chita showed that the mass of leaves M. baccata, U. pumila
and P. avium is in the range of 0.216–0.487 g; leaf area varies from 10.4 to 29.4 cm2 specific
density of leaves is 0.0086–0.0640 g/cm2. The maximum total water content in all the studied
areas in the leaves of U. pumila (104.0–149.0 %), the minimum is in the leaves of M. baccata
(80.70–123.0 %), there is an intermediate position of P. avium (88.60–122.50 %). Water content
of tissues and dominance of bound water in leaves of woody plants indicates the adaptation
capabilities of the plants to the conditions of the urban environment. The data obtained can be
used in biomonitoring of urban areas.
