The content of the main pigments of photosynthesis in the leaves of species of the genus Betula L. was determined. It is shown that the largest number of pigments during the growing season accumulate large-leaved birches pubescens and B. pendula. Until the end of the vegetation period, there will be a number of carotenoidsin the leaves of all studied birches, while more active processes are accumulated in the leaves of small-leaved birches B. fusca and B. humilis.
