Peculiarities of the Response of the Balsamic Poplar Assimilation Apparatus to the Aerotechnogenic Impact of Aluminum Production Emissions

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The reactions of leaves of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) to the impact of emissions of aluminum smelters have been analyzed. The results of a comparative analysis of mineral phase distribution on the surface of poplar leaves on the influence zone of Bratsk, Irkutsk, Sayanogorsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Novokuznetsk aluminum smelters are presented. Newly formed minerals, similar in composition to fluorite and gypsum, are found in the stomata of poplar leaves. Calcite crystals are found in large quantities in the conductive system of leaves. The formation of a biogeochemical calcium barrier in the stomata of poplar leaves, through which the neutralization of fluorine and sulfur compounds into inert minerals, is assumed.
