Abstract

Adaptation of species of the genus Gleditsia and Robinia largely depends on the state of their water regime during the growing season. The ability to retain and economically use water in arid conditions is a protective and adaptive function in introduced species. The degree of drought resistance of various species of the genus Gleditsia and Robinia was assessed by the state of their water regime during the dry period. The studies were conducted based on long-term data, highlighting optimal moisture availability and dry years. The following species were studied: R. viscosa, R. neomexicana, R. pseudoacacia, G. texana, G. caspica and G. triacanthos, growing in cluster dendrological collections of the Federal Research Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Cadastre. № 34:34:000000:122, 34:34:060061:10; Cadastre No. 34:36:0000:14:0178). The aim is a comparative assessment of the adaptation of species of the genus Gleditsia and Robinia to the peculiarities of the water regime in the conditions of chestnut soils. It was found that the highest indicators of water-holding capacity in the genus Robinia have typical representatives and decorative forms of R. neomexicana. R. viscosa has a low water-holding capacity. The water content in the leaves of G. caspica is higher than that of G. texana. The hydration of shoots decreases during the growing season, at the beginning of summer it is in the range of 64.5 – 71.0% (Gleditsia) and 69.4 – 70.2% (Robinia). By the end of the growing season, the water content drops by 11.3 – 15.9%. The maximum decrease in hydration was observed in G. texana (15.9%). In the Robinia generic complex, the greatest decrease in hydration was observed in R. pseudoacacia – by 10.2 – 14.7%. Prolonged drought and high average daily temperature of the growing season in 2020 worsened the indicators of the water potential of species of the genus Gleditsia and Robinia.
