Effects of Environmental Variability on the Genus Olea L. by Atayeva Leyla, Ahmadova Sariye, Nasirli Lala, Aghayeva Jamala, Zakharova Gulnar, Mammadova Vagida

“…In Azerbaijan, as well as on the Absheron Peninsula, the pressing problems of our time are climate change, emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere, high temperatures, changes in groundwater levels, drought and suppression of local flora by introduced invasive species. Deformations of vegetative organs, developmental delays, premature transition to the generative phase, early aging, and infestation with various pests are observed in bioindication species sensitive to environmental changes. …”
