Abstract

This article presents data on the biological and ecological features of halophytic semi-shrubs (Nitraria schoberi, Calligonum caput-medusae Schenk) of the Aral Sea region in Kazakhstan, that is, in the Kyzylorda region. Based on foreign and domestic scientific literature, a review of the necessary research was conducted, the relevance of the topic and research methods were identified. Based on the data from the scientific literature describing the flora of the region and as a result of field work, information was obtained on the species of halophytes growing in the Kyzylorda region (Nitraria schoberi, Calligonum caput-medusae Schenk.) seeds were collected. Nitraria schoberi and Calligonum caput-medusae analyzed the quality and germination of seeds. Before determining the germination of Nitraria schoberi seeds, they were placed in water with a temperature of 18-20°C for 2 days. During the laboratory examination, the germination of Nitraria schoberi seeds collected on the drained bottom of the Aral Sea was evaluated. Germination was assessed using the standard method in Petri dishes while maintaining an optimal temperature and humidity regime, germination is 40%. Based on the biological and ecological similarity with other species of halophytic semi-shrubs, the seed quality can be conditionally classified as class 1. This confirms the possibility of using the studied seeds in works on phytomelioration and restoration of vegetation in saline and arid (arid) landscapes of the Aral Sea region. The quality of Calligonum caput-medusae seeds was determined by soaking the seeds in water and then cutting the seeds along the embryo. During the laboratory examination, the seed quality was 71%. Taking into account the peculiarities of the ecological and geographical origin of the species and the natural heterogeneity of the seed material, these indicators are considered satisfactory for the purposes of introducing and restoring vegetation in arid ecosystems.
