ADAPTATION OF URBANOFLORA TO URBAN CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article examines the influence of plants on the urban environment and the processes of their adaptation to conditions based on research conducted in the urban flora of Shymkent. Urban flora is of great importance in improving the ecological condition in urban conditions. In urban urban flora, an urgent problem is the identification and planting of plant species resistant to them, absorbing carcinogens and dust.  This is due to the fact that plants, especially tree-like ones, perform the function of forming an ecoclimate, depositing substances in the air. The influence of urban flora on the urban environment is determined by their role in air purification, temperature regulation, soil protection, and biodiversity conservation. According to the results of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: adaptation to the urban environment occurs due to changes in the structure of plants, the number of lilac stomata growing in a relatively clean area was 162, and growing along highway 95; urban flora affects the temperature regime of the urban environment, plants lower the air temperature by 2-4 degrees; Plants purify the air by absorbing dust, and it has been found that lilac leaves absorb more dust than elm trees due to their structural features.
