Results and prospects of introduction of bamboos (Bambusa schreb.) at the southern coast of the Crimea

The studies on the biology and ecology of bamboos ( Bambusa Schreb.) are timely and will allow scientists to develop theoretical foundations for their introduction and selection in the south of Russia. Researches in this field are characterized by a scientific novelty and practical effect. The purpose of these studies is to sum up the results of bamboo introduction in Nikitsky Botanical Garden (NBG) and on the Southern Coast of the Crimea (SCC) as well and to introduce new species to enrich their collection. The study started in 1985 and was conducted according to the plan of scientific research works of the Department of Dendrology and Landscape Architecture of NBG “Bioecological foundations for introduction of monocot woody plants in the Crimea and the Caucasus”. The paper presents the results of bamboos ( Bambusa Schreb.) introduction in the open field of Nikitsky Botanical Garden (NBG) arboretum. The taxonomic composition of the bamboo collection in NBG includes 6 species and 1 garden form, while 8 species and 1 garden form grow on the SCC, i...
