Description
Summary:The article presents the analysis results of the litter composition of woody plants growing in urbanized plant communities. The research object was plant litter sampled under the canopy of such woody plants as Acer negundo L., Betula pendula Roth, Padus avium Mill. We determined the phytomass reserve and the level of nitrogen and phosphorus content in the litter of these tree species. The A. negundo litter had the most intense mineralization due to higher phytomass, nitrogen, and phosphorus accumulation in comparison with trees of the other species. The woody plants under study can be arranged in the following order as the analyzed indicators decrease: boxelder maple > bird cherry > silver birch. The experimental data can be used for biomonitoring studies of natural communities.
