Abstract

Larix is one of the main coniferous species widely used in the urban flora of Arkhangelsk. In urban plantations, this breed is characterized by rapid growth, stability, good soil protection properties, and high decorative value. Larix has proven itself positively in the green plantings of the North due to its high adaptive ability. The purpose of our research is to determine the qualitative indicators of seeds of representatives of the genus Larix Mill. and an analysis of the use of Larix in urban plantings in Arkhangelsk. The research covers the seeds of Larix sibirica, Larix kaempferi, Larix sukaczewii, and Larix gmelinii. It was found that the seeds of Larix kaempferi (24,8 %) have low quality, intermediate indicators of absolute germination in Larix sukaczewii (35,1 %) and Larix sibirica (38,5 %). The highest values of this indicator are possessed by the seeds of Larix gmelinii (68,8 %). The native species, Siberian larch, is used as widely as possible in urban plantings. It is found in parks and squares, on streets and in residential areas, on the territories of educational and medical institutions, on squares. This species responds well to the conditions of the urban environment, has a well-developed, well-formed crown with bright juicy needles.
