The content of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) in plants along latitudinal and altitudinal profiles has been studied. The pigment composition in plant leaves regularly changed with the latitude / altitude. In general, the observed changes concerned the chlorophyll b and carotenoids, which represent the components of light-harvesting complexes. It was assumed that the ratio of pigment forms is one of the important indicators of plant response to environment and predict the latitude and altitude ranges of plant species.Работа выполнена при поддержке РФФИ (грант № 17–29–05019) и программы АААА–А17–117072810011–1
