Description

Urban green spaces play a critical role in maintaining ecological stability and improving the quality of life in rapidly developing cities. This study explores the composition of woody plants used for urban landscaping in major Azerbaijani cities and examines the fungal communities associated with them. The findings highlight the diversity of urban vegetation and reveal the presence of fungi that can affect plant health and aesthetic value. Understanding these interactions provides essential insights for designing effective management and protection strategies, supporting the resilience, sustainability, and ecological functionality of urban green infrastructure.
