One of the promising areas of landscaping is container. The use of plants in containers in the central part of the city will create landscaping in areas where trees and shrubs cannot be planted directly into the soil. Perspective, in this regard, is the use in landscaping in the frost-free period of tropical and subtropical plants. This method does not solve the problem as a whole, but it can be a great original addition. The aim of this work was to analyze the participation of tropicogenic flora plants in the landscaping of the city of Kryvyi Rih and to identify perspectives for greening of metropolitan species from the collection of tropical and subtropical plants of the Kryvyi Rog Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine. Surveying of the city's greening showed that the use of subtropical and tropical plants as a container container during the warm period is quite limited, and the single facts of their use in containers are revealed. For these purposes, plants of Chamaerops humilis L., Agave americana L., Brugmansia suaveolens (Humb. Et Bonpl. Ex Wild.), Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Baker., Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum', Nerium oleander L. varieties were used. In the presence of extremely rich collections of tropical and subtropical plants in the botanical gardens of Ukraine, there is an opportunity to significantly expand this list. The Kryvyi Rih Botanical Gardens protected soil collection has 988 taxa. Based on study of plant biology, the collection identifies and identifies species that are appropriate for landscaping metropolitan areas by planting them in portable containers, and some of them directly into the soil as accent plants. When selecting plants for landscaping in the open ground it is important to take into account the features of their stay in the winter in the halls or greenhouses (temperature and light modes).

The results of physiological, morphological, anatomical peculiarities of introduced plants of Araliaceae Juss. have been given. Study of seasonal growth and development peculiarities of Araliaceae Juss.  showed that most of these plants were introduced successfully but the process was complicated by climatic conditions of the area in city Kiev. According to a comprehensive assessment a large number of studied species were highly evaluated for decorative effect. Introduced species of family Araliaceae Juss. are characterized by high-level adaptation to local soil and climatic conditions in Botanical gardens of Kiev. The vast majority of them bloom but not all can form seeds. Thus, among the introduced plants only five representatives of genus Acanthopanax – Acanthopanax lasiogyne, Acanthopanax divaricatus, Acanthopanax sieboldianus, Acanthopanax trifoliatus and Acanthopanax wardii have high level of adaptation. To determine the prospect of cultivating research species we assessed the degree of winter resistance by the 5-point M. K. Vechova scale on the basis of visual observations in conditions of the open ground. The level of adaptation of plants was evaluated in the city Kyiv using the estimation scale measured in points and in percentages. Results of researches showed that the species have a high resistance to the effects of adverse factors. All types of this family are promising for introduction into culture and can be widely used in various branches of the national economy.  A comprehensive assessment of the decorative effect of ornamental plant species was carried out by the O. G. Horoshyh and O. V. Horoshyh scales, according to which the decorative effect of the vast majority of studied species was highly appreciated. The results of our study shows that the introduced species of Araliaceae Juss. have a good prospect for further their use in ornamental gardening, urban greening and landscape design in private territories of citizens.

The article presents the results of the study of adaptation features in the introduction of the Central Asian species Tulipa tschimganica Botschantz. in the collection of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS. Morphometric changes were found towards a decrease in androceus and an increase in the gynecus of the flower; in leaves and capsule fruit, with a decrease in length, their width increases. When studying the morphology of seeds, both positive and negative correlations between the length of the seed and the size of the embryo were revealed. Correlation analysis showed a moderate or strong effect of some eco-factors on seed productivity and its implementation. The high average percentage of seminification (34%) and seed germination in open ground (up to 61%) allows to characterize this species as viable for the conditions of the city of Novosibirsk.

The paper states that it is necessary to expand the work in the field of ecological and geographical testing of economically valuable plant objects in the system of Botanical institutions supervised by the Council of Botanical gardens of Russia. The role of unique natural polygons of three Botanical gardens belonging to the Russian Academy of Sciences is emphasized. The main collection funds of the Nikita Botanical Garden are located in the Mediterranean climate zone (Yalta). In the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences plants are introduced into the culture in the conditions of the continental climate of the forest-steppe of Western Siberia (Novosibirsk). In the Botanical Garden-Institute of Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences the gene pool of cultural and natural flora is studied in the monsoon climate (Vladivostok). The authors describe peculiarities of seasonal development, morphogenesis, organogenesis, ontogeny and reproductive biology of garden roses varieties of the Nikita Botanical Garden selection in three climatic zones. It is shown that in the geographical point of varieties breeding located near Yalta, the influence of climatic conditions leads to the absence of winter rest and natural end of the growing season - it is artificially regulated by the annual February pruning. In the monsoon climate of Vladivostok, the largest number of cloudless days (up to 80%) is observed in winter, which can not affect the vegetation of roses in the open ground, but has a beneficial effect on the development and cutting production of roses in greenhouses. In the forest-steppe of Western Siberia varieties from the groups of tea-hybrid, floribunda, grandiflora, Cordes roses and miniature throughout the study period did not enter the postgenerative period, the final ontogenetic state was g3. The main criterion for the selection of garden roses promising varieties in a continental climate is biomorphological - the ability of annual shoots to bloom. Breeding work with roses in the southern coast of the Crimea is carried out in the open ground, in the continental and monsoon climate - in greenhouses.

Densification by greening, or what we can learn from Singapore (essay) Singapore, a city-state with a high population density, wants to give its population, its tourists and its economy a living and livable city and has developed the concept of the Garden City. Parks, nature reserves, forest, green corridors, trees, botanical gardens, horizontal and vertical greening of buildings, as well as popular participation, are all important for this vision of the city. Singapore is counting on dense construction alongside “greening” and biodiversity. Let us be prepared to learn from Singapore's example! Our land is also a non-renewable resource. To protect our ever more limited agricultural land, we should renounce any extension of building land, and free ourselves from the expanding carpets of suburban development. Let us build multiple urban neighbourhoods with mixed use and more biodiversity. Let us develop new types of communal gardens. Urban gardens in the widest sense – from private gardens to garden cooperatives, to parks and botanical gardens – are a part of our living space. The city should be our garden.

The article deals with one of the most relevant topics of the modern city and ecology - the problem of landscaping in Volgograd. The city is characterized by an industrial urbanism, with a high concentration of population, saturation of production facilities and vehicles, which contributes to a high level of negative impact on the environment. The pace of greening of the city lags behind the pace of construction of the residential sector, and the existing green spaces do not meet the sanitary and hygienic, aesthetic requirements. The prospects of this problem are determined, the existing green spaces are considered, data on the climatic conditions of the city and the ecological situation are given. Improvement in the field of landscaping is associated with the scientifically sound placement of green spaces, taking into account all the factors that affect the growth and development of plants in the urban environment. Unfortunately, due to the uneven distribution of the assortment of trees and shrubs, the species composition of the central streets and squares of the city is extremely poor. The study focuses on the role of the botanical garden in urban landscaping and aims to create recommendations for the sorting of tree and shrub plants for urban landscaping. As a result of the analysis of the assortment of ornamental plants of the open ground of the botanical garden, the article proposed species and varieties of woody and shrubby plants that have passed the introduction tests for more than 5-10 years. Recommendations for sorting are aimed at improving the ecological situation of the city and greening the recreation areas of citizens. The proposed list of tree and shrub species cannot fully solve the problem of greening the city, but it will help to significantly enrich the composition of tree and shrub plants.

Abstract:Ambient CO2 concentration (together with CO2 exchange and microclimate) was recorded every 30 min for 15 months for Lecanora muralis growing in the Botanical Garden Würzburg (Germany, northern Bavaria), a habitat on the outskirts of the city. Annual mean CO2 was around 17 ppm higher than the global average reported for the time of measurement (361 ppm; 1995/96), and daily values ranged from 317 to 490 ppm. Diel courses of CO2 could be classified into three different types. Type A, when CO2 levels rose overnight and then fell strongly to below global levels during the day, which predominated in the summer (about 75 of days); Type B, irregular diel courses occurred during all seasons with often very rapid changes apparently due to advective CO2 transport; Type C, CO2 concentration was typically almost stable at generally between c. 330 and 430 ppm which predominated in the winter (63 of days).Under controlled conditions, CO2 saturation of net photosynthesis (NP) of L. muralis at optimal hydration and light occurred at around 1000 ppm. NP was also affected by low CO2 at limiting light and thallus water contents. Based upon these data, we estimated the improvement of NP of L. muralis due to transient increase of ambient CO2 (as compared with the global average) for one selected combination of environmental factors (nocturnal dew or frost). This combination is an important source of water for the lichen, resulting in 40 of its annual production and, especially in these situations, photosynthesis was increased by high ambient CO2 in the early morning under prevailing Type A conditions. After dew activation, light compensation point of NP occurred at an average concentration of 413 ppm and diel maxima of NP at 402 ppm. This allows a rough estimate that the transiently elevated CO2 increased the photosynthetic gain of the lichen after dew of 7, or an improvement to its annual carbon balance of about 3. Conditions, especially interrelationships between lichen hydration, light and CO2 are so complex that we are not yet able to extend our estimates to other environmental situations of photosynthetic activity of L. muralis.
