TAXONOMY, MORPHOLOGY, AND ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF TAMARIX L. SPECIES DISTRIBUTED IN THE FERGANA VALLEY
Keywords:
Tamarix L., Fergana Valley, ecological adaptation, herbarium, phytomelioration.Abstract
This article explores the morphological, ecological, and geographical characteristics of Tamarix L. species distributed in the Fergana Valley. The research is based on herbarium materials from the National Herbarium of Uzbekistan and field observations. The study analyzes the species' distribution patterns, habitat preferences, and practical significance. Due to their high ecological adaptability, Tamarix species have potential for phytomeliorative applications in arid zones.
