The possibilities of using bio-indication methods in assessing urban soils in Grozny have been studied. The study was carried out according to the methodology for assessing the total phytotoxicity of the Parker C. soil in the period 2016 – 2019. Soil samples were taken layer by layer on the territory of Grozny. It has been established that herbaceous plants, as a part of the biological resource of an urban area, are quite sensitive to environmental pollution, which is determined by different levels of development of the territory. This is manifested in the form of a slowdown in the growth of both the aboveground and underground parts of plants. Statistical analysis showed the presence of an inverse correlation between the level of development of the territory and the germination of seeds of indicator plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
