An analysis of the leaves of willow (Salix alba) and two species of poplar (Populus simonii and Populus sosnowskyi) was performed to determine the gases that are evolved from them. The experiments were carried out during the autumal period of growth using mass-spectrometric methods. Results revealed the presence of methane, ethane, propane, butane, and other heavier substances in the gases evolved by the leaves.
