RESEARCH OF PHYTOINDICATIVE ABILITY OF QUERCUS LONGIPES STEV. FOR ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SAMUR-DIVICHI LOWLAND.

The research is dedicated to the phytoindicative evaluation of explored areas according to the integrated evaluation of an individual and sustainable development breach of the tree plant Quercus longipes Stev. which developed in the natural and urboecosystem on the Samur-Divichi lowland of Azerbaijan. The obtained results were compared with the same species of plants cultivated in the Absheron region, which is environmentally tougher. The absolute prices of the level change of fluctuating bilateral asymmetry’s indicators of a morphometric sign have been statistically processed in special software on the leaves of Q. longipes. The pollution hypothesis of the environment has been checked by the ANOVA test and the availability to give an initial forecast about the environmental quality has been determined within the confidential interval limits. Fluctuating asymmetry refers to the non-directional, small, random deviations from symmetry caused by developmental instability. The results of the research showed that an early warning model allowed to predict how much the contamination risk of investigated areas might be. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
