Abstract
There are many sites of the degraded
arable land in Uzbekistan, the use of
which is unprofitable for production
of the main crops. Planting of
multi-purpose tree species on such
land pro-motes restoration of soil
fertility and their use for agricultural
production. Abandoned land
starts to bring benefits, providing
the population with fuel and
construction wood, cattle with a
deciduous forage, etc. The wellconsidered selection of tree species
provides ecological services, such as
decrease of water-logging through
a biodrainage and control of soil
salinization; ni-trogen-fixation
capacity of certain species enriches
the soil with nitrogen, and litter
from leaves with humus. These sites
can again be turned to a category of
an arable land or to continue to use
them for wood production in a longterm perspective.
