Abstract:The efficiency of using photosynthetically active radiation by trees largely depends on the architecture of the assimilation apparatus in their crown. It is known that an increase in the level of atmospheric pollution is accompanied, on the one hand, by an increase in the foliage density on the leafy shoot length, and on the other hand, by an increase in the transparency of the crown due to the expansion of the leafless inner part of the crown. On this basis, we assume that the foliage percentage of leafy shoo… Show more
