Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of agrochemical composition of soils and climatic features d. Volgograd in order to form scientifically justified recommendations on the selection of woody and shrub crops for landscape design. The relevance of the study is due to the need to create sustainable, durable and aesthetically appealing green plantings under the conditions of an urban environment characterized by moisture deficit, extremetemperature temps. The work analyzed modern data on the soils of the Volgograd, including their chemical composition and distribution within the city agglomeration. Observation data of the Russian meteorological services over the past 12 years allowed the determination of climatic parameters in d. Volgograd, which are important to consider in landscape architecture. Based on the identified ecological requirements of vegetation, an adapted assortment of ten woody and ten shrub species is proposed. For each plant the name in Russian and Latin is presented, their main properties from the point of view of resistance to negative environmental factors typical of the Volgograd, and also gives a description of their decorative characteristics. All woody and shrub species were divided into six groups according to their functional role in landscape design. The novel approach is to comprehensively consider local agrochemical and meteorological factors in plant selection, which will enable optimization of afforestation costs and increase crop survivability under southern steppe conditions.
Key words: soil, agrochemical composition, climatic conditions, woody crops, shrub crops, landscape design, Volgograd.
