Abstract:

Results of synchronous measurements of biogenic gases emission by leaf apparatus of different plants are presented. The measurements have been carried out by gas-analysis methods in two spectral ranges: 1.6 and 10.6 μm. It is shown that CO2 and ethylene concentrations in samples of the objects under study (conifer needles and rowan leaves) significantly exceed the background values; the methane emission was not registered.
