Abstract
The aim of the study is to conduct a research on reproductive development of Betula czerepanovii Orlova in the impact zone of the Severonikel plant (Murmansk region). The gross content of heavy metals (Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd) in the soil of test plots is determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Inhibition of the birch trees reproduction is observed only on the technogenic wasteland (3 km from Severonikel) with very high concentrations of nickel (795 mg/kg) and copper (149 mg/kg) in the soil. Significant correlation coefficients between concentration of nickel in the soil and the number of male and female inflorescences of B. czerepanovii are obtained. The number of female catkins, formed under the conditions of chronic pollution by heavy metals, is larger than the number of male catkins. At all test sites, a transition of some birch trees (20–40 %) from monoeciousness to dioecia is demonstrated: a very large number of only male or female catkins is developing on them. Сenopopulations of B. czerepanovii are adapted to pollution in technogenic open woodland (8 km from Severonikel) and defoliating forest (20–30 km) with a decrease of Ni concentration in the soil to several MPC. It is shown that B. czerepanovii is a metal-resistant species. The hypothesis of the polyvariance of development of plants under the conditions of industrial pollution is formulated.
