Summary: This project includes investigations of changes of leaf epicuticular wax morphology , changes in chlorophylls and carotenoids concentrations as well as of bark acidity and buffer capacity; all predominantly in the species from the wider region of Split (Croatia).

Keywords: epicuticular wax,chlorophylls contents, carotenoids contents, bark acidity, buffer capacity,air pollution,

Research goals: To establish the level of epicuticular wax degradation,beginning, manifestation and duration of cristalline wax alteration into amorphous crusts, determination ofrecrystallization,to establish differences in chlorophylls andcarotenoids contents in different localities as well as thedifferences in bark pH values and buffer capacity among species and within each of them. On the basis of the results to establish the extent of air pollution to the parameters investigated.
