Abstract—We have generalized the materials of population-phenogenetic studies of the weeping birch in dif-
ferent environmental conditions using developmental stability analysis and photosynthetic activity measure-
ments.

Key words: plants, population, developmental stability, fluctuating asymmetry, photosynthetic reactions.
