Abstract
Specific features of sedge (Carex hirta) development on oil-contaminated soils are studied for the first time. A decrease in morphometric parameters of leaves and rhizomes and the enlargement of roots under the effect of oil are revealed. The plants of sedge on oil-contaminated soils are characterized by a reduced period of morphogenesis and early ageing of leaves. Rhizomes of these plants are less branched. Their plagiotropic growth is short-term and soon gives way to orthotropic growth. Our investigations yield new data on the morphology, morphogenesis, and ecology of C. hirta.
