Abstract

The current article is devoted to the study of establishing anti-erosion forest crops in various soil-climatic and growing conditions. As a result of the research more prospective varieties of tree and bush species have been revealed, which are to be
investigated in conditions of the Armenian highlands. The planting materials with open and closed root systems have been tested, where the best outcome was fixed in those of the closed root system. Agrotechnical system has also been developed, the survival capacity and preservation rate of various forest species have been determined. The best planting terms have been revealed and biometrical indexes of different varieties have been described.
