Biomorphological changes of some tree and shrubs species in the saline soils of the Absheron peninsula

Although it is very difficult to study the biomorphological properties of plants according to their sensitivity to salt ions during introduction, the fact that species do not adapt to saline soils for a long time makes it necessary to conduct some experiments. The introduction of new trees and shrubs imported from abroad has become a priority in the Absheron Peninsula of the Republic of Azerbaijan, especially in the Khazar and Pirallahi regions. In this regard, chemical analyzes were carried out by analytical methods, the mechanism of action of salt ions (Cl-, SO42- and CO32-) in plants was studied, intoxication of toxic salt ions and bio indicative properties of individual ions were studied. During the study, 44 species of trees and shrubs sensitive to Cl-, SO42- and CO32- ions were selected and their salinization properties (weak, medium and high) were determined. It was found that the sensitivity of trees and shrubs to chlorine, sulfate and carbonate ions is significantly different, and the selectivity of plants to salt ions is correlated with bio indicative properties. The saline and re-salinized soils of the areas belong to the chloride-sulfate, sulfate-chloride and chloride-sulfate-carbonate types, in which high chlorine ion, medium carbonate ion and weak sulfate ions are found to cause intoxication. In saline soils, chlorine ions have been shown to form halo succulence in plants, and sulfate ions to have halo xerophytes, and trees’ species are less resistant to salt ions than shrub species.
