/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Again trees are being cut down in Yerevan, Ecolur
reports, referring to statements made by residents of different
regions of the Armenian capital. People speak about deep pruning of
trees, opposed by experts, botanists, ecologists. "This is a crime,
as trees cannot develop normally. Strong root system is deprived of
foliage, and tree nutrition balance is disturbed. As a result, the
tree is trying to survive, but cannot cope with the imbalance, and
it can even die. City's green mass, protecting from toxic emissions
of transport and dust sharply reduces , " Anush Nersisyan, Doctor of
Biological Sciences, a senior researcher at the Institute of Botany,
National Academy of Sciences of Armenia said.
At various meetings and events, environmentalists have repeatedly
expressed the assumption that the reason for the deep cutting of
trees is to release a visible space for billboards. However, at the
official level, this assumption has repeatedly refuted.
