HAWTHORN TREES ( CRATAEGUS) IN THE MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS SONGARICA C. KOCH AND CRATAEGUS PONTICA C. KOCH ) IMPORTANCE OF SOIL RECLAMATION IN IMPROVING PROPERTIES
Keywords:
Dry mountain and sub-mountain areas, Crataegus songarica C. Koch, Crataegus pontica C. Koch, land reclamation properties, morpho-ecological properties, root system, soil physical and biological properties, soil porosity, water retention capacity, annual soil loss, microorganisms, symbiosis.Abstract
The article analyzes the melioration effect of hawthorn species ( Crataegus songarica C.Koch and Crataegus pontica C.Koch) growing in mountainous and hilly areas on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. Based on scientific data, the effect of the hawthorn root system on soil structure, moisture regime and soil microflora is described.
