USING A SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE ECOLOGICAL STATE OF KYIV’S URBANIZED AREAS
Abstract:
A remote sensing spectrophotometric method for express assessment of the state of urban ecosystem was used. The method is based on the measurement of the spectral reflection characteristics of leaves of bioindicator species Tilia cordata Mill. According to the results of measurements the stress index (reverse vegetation index) was calculated as the most informative measure of the degree of suppression of photosynthesis which indirectly determines the level of anthropogenic contamination of the territory. In terms of the stress index grouping of 36 localities of the 10 administrative districts of Kyiv was performed with the use of cluster analysis. A clear trend of stress index values growth on a gradient of increasing intensity of transport flows was defined. This method is recommended for ecological monitoring of environmental quality and rapid assessment of changes in urban ecosystems.
Keywords: spectrophotometric method, Tilia cordata Mill., bioindication, stress index, urban ecosystems.
