Research of the Decorative Advantages of Coniferous Trees and Shrubs for Landscaping

In the arid conditions of chestnut soils of the Volgograd region, natural populations of coniferous trees are practically absent, and Juniperus sabina is present from coniferous shrubs. The introduction of new species of coniferous plants can increase the biodiversity of the flora of the region. The...
