The Dynamics Peculiarities of the Xylem Sap of Coniferous Woody Plants on the Example of Picea Abies in Rostov-on-Don

The intensive process of urbanization increases the demand for urban green building. In order for the development of green infrastructure to correspond to the rate of urban growth and reduce its negative impact on human health, it is necessary to use methods of modern and continuous monitoring. Through innovative methods, it is possible to optimize the greening of the city, which will increase the efficiency of the functioning of green spaces. Monitoring was carried out with the help of TreeTalker+device in this work. The main parameter for the study chosen rate of xylem sap of woody plants. Representatives of common spruce Picea Abies were used as an object of study. When analyzing the data obtained during monitoring, it was possible to establish a rank correlation between xylem sap velocity and temperature, as well as to establish a relationship with phenological phases. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
