| Summary: | Abstract The Arboretum named after I.M. Stratonovich has been carrying out introduction tests on the seed material obtained from various geographical points since 1934. The assortment of alien species resistant to limitative climatic factors of the circumpolar region and adverse impact of the urban environment was revealed based on the long-term experimental research. Due to the arboretum work the green belt composition in the Arkhangelsk urban area has been replenished with adapted flora species from southern latitudes. The Arboretum carries out research in the field of preserving and expanding its collection, as well as promoting the comprehensive work of arboreta. The preserved specimens of the oldest trees represent the floristic heritage and witness the long-term resistance of plants. The gathered experience contributes significantly to the training of gardening and landscape design experts. Thus, the creation of favorable conditions for residential areas in the region is inextricably linked to the research of plant introduction. |
