Introduction and Use of Long-living Trees and Shrubs on the Absheron Peninsula in the Context of Climate Change and Greening

The article presents an analysis of data on the acclimatization of trees on the Absheron Peninsula: ironwood, sycamore or needle maple, Hyrcanian maple, small-leaved alder and white-headed acacia. When introducing long-lived tree and shrub species to the Absheron Peninsula, it is necessary to take into account the biological characteristics of the species, take into account the stress impact of the dry subtropical climate and group resistant species. The use of trees and shrubs resistant to environmental stress factors in landscaping is considered. The territory of the Absheron Peninsula is predominantly sandy and the soil has low water-holding capacity and organic residues (humus), agrotechnical care should be one of the main conditions for the introduction of woody plants. Particular attention should be paid to irrigation measures, taking into account the biological origin of the plants. More than 100 trees and shrubs from the Hyrcanian National Park and forests of Azerbaijan were introduced. Currently, extensive research is being conducted to study the adaptive capacity of the cities of Baku, Sumgait, and the Absheron Peninsula.
