Abstract

In improving the environment, one of the main and decisive factors is landscaping. Among them, evergreen trees and shrubs play an important role. They form the basis for protecting the environment from industrial pollution and creating conditions for cultural recreation of the population. The protection of the biosphere from pollution that negatively affects human health, the protection of natural resources and their rational use in the modern era has acquired serious importance and, as a problem of national importance, worries the public. It was revealed that landscaping has a high dust-collecting capacity. Coniferous, evergreen trees and shrubs especially have this ability. Currently, in the gardens and parks of Baku there are a significant number of species and forms of plants that can be successfully used for further landscaping of the city. But this number of tree and shrub species that are stable under these conditions is absolutely insufficient for the growing area of green spaces every day. It is necessary to expand introduction work in this area, paying special attention to the introduction of new evergreen species and forms of trees and shrubs into culture. For this purpose, research work is being carried out in the “Landscape architecture” laboratory.
