Assessment of the condition of Balsam poplar trees (Populus balsamifera L.) in a residental area of Bratsk

In this study, we investigated the health status of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) trees in a residential area of the city of Bratsk (Irkutsk Oblast, Russia). Visual and instrumental assessment of the health status of pruned and unpruned trees was performed. The identified internal...
