BIOECOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE INTRODUCED IRON TREE FOR USE IN LANDSCAPING OF THE ABSHERON PENINSULA

In the presented article, information is provided about the introduction (through seeds) of the iron tree species, listed in the "Red Book" of Azerbaijan and possessing the strength of iron, into the soil and climatic conditions of the Apsheron Peninsula, its morphological characteristics and use in landscaping. In other studies, iron tree seedlings brought to the Apsheron Peninsula were used. In our study, on the contrary, seedlings were obtained from iron tree seeds on sandy and saline soils (sulphate salinity) of the Apsheron Peninsula. Germination of seeds fluctuated between 80-85%. The dynamics of the leaf apparatus in one-year-old seedlings, which develop from seeds, are determined. Unlike other studies, the process of photosynthesis in the leaves and the amount of chlorophyll in them were determined dynamically during the vegetation period. It is established that the iron tree usually grows on the Apsheron Peninsula, but, unlike its natural botanical and geographical region, it requires complex agrotechnical care. Iron tree is not a very frost-resistant plant. It can climb to a height of 800-1000 m above sea level, singly or in groups. L.I. Prilipko (1954) explains the distribution of the iron tree in such relief forms with its biological features.
