The paper considers Trifolium repens as a bioindicator of environmental pollution in the city of Krasnodar. During the processing of herbarium materials of their own collections, 11 T. repens hair dryers were allocated. As a result of the comparison, using variance analysis and Pearson χ2 test, differences were found between populations of creeping clover living in different habitats. These studies have shown that Trifolium repens can be used as a bioindicator of environmental pollution.
