Description
Summary:Abstract Study of the taxonomic diversity of the native flora in the green plantations of the industrial city of Monchegorsk. Large areas of the northern taiga have been preserved in the forest parks. Among the native flora the most common are trees, shrubs and dwarf shrubs (68%). Coniferous are dominated ( Pinus friesiana, Picea obovata ). Deciduous tree species are represented by birch trees: (Betula czerepanovii, B. pubescens) , willows (Salix caprea, S.glauca) , rowan (Sorbus gorodkovii). Due to the advantageous location of Monchegorsk relative to the "Severonickel" plant, it is possible to preserve the natural flora within the city.
