Prospects for the use of Leucaena Leucocephala (Lam.) DE Wit. In landscaping and restoration of vegetation in the conditions of the Absheron

The article is devoted to the consideration of the prospects of using Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit in landscaping and restoration of vegetation cover in the conditions of Absheron. The issue of vegetation restoration, planting new tree species that are well adapted to the climate and will eventually become more resilient forest communities is always relevant. By taking into account the soil and climatic characteristics of the area, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. can be used as planting material for the restoration and protection of green spaces.The use of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. (White-headed Mimosa), which has been studied and introduced in the conditions of Absheron, is beneficial for landscaping, agriculture, and the creation of soil-protective covers. This makes it a promising species for the region. The grown planting material is planned to be used in forest plantations, along with adjacent cities and towns, and on the outskirts of highways, rivers, and reservoirs. Leucaena leucocephala is known for its fast growth, which allows it to be planted in small areas and even in limited quantities. This makes it possible to quickly create greenery, use it as a source of additional income in private households, and regulate groundwater levels. The solution to the problem of increasing greenery productivity and replacing conventional tree species with fast-growing, economically valuable species is of great importance. The species is easily propagated by seeds and vegetatively, grows quickly, and is not picky about soil conditions. It adapts well to environmental changes and is drought-resistant.
