Subject of
research:
- Physiological-biochemical
aspects of stress tolerance of coniferous trees
and its dependence on the peculiarities of their
growth environment.
- Quantitative and
qualitative nature of changes caused by air
pollution
- Changes in the
intra-organism distribution of soluble and
structural carbohydrates
- Importance of the
ratio between carbohydrates and mineral matters
and their influence on the formation of biomass
in stress conditions.
