Abstract

The Botanical Garden of the North-Eastern Federal University was established in 2001. The activities of the Garden are aimed at studying, preserving the biological diversity of the flora of Yakutia and rational use of plant resources. The Botanical Garden monitors the state of natural cenopopulations of rare and endangered species (in situ); the results of the researches are used in compiling the Red Data Book of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (2017). Measuresare carried out to restore the population of vulnerable speciesby the garden. The study of ex situ plants in the collections of the Garden is aimed at identifying the patterns of plant behavior in culture and assessing their introductive potential. Introductory abilities of the species are largely determined by its historical development, ecological plasticity associated with the life form, area, and intraspecific and intrapopulation diversity. The development of scientific foundations of decorative gardening and verdure is a special section of the scientific studies of the Garden. Studies to identify resistant species allowed to supplement and expand the range of ornamental plantssignificantly. An integral part of the Garden is educational work. Collections of plants serve as a tool for studying many biological disciplines. There are training and practical classes for university studentsin the Garden. Leading scientists of the Botanical Garden give lectures on methodological issues on the study of plants in situ and ex situ. The garden pays much attention to educational work. Every year there are excursions for children, students and adults.
