Abstract. To date, despite the rapid development of science and agriculture, the interest in potential uses of plants in various areas of human life is not diminishing. The most important ways of their using are the following: production of wood used for fuel, as a building material and factory timber, in furniture production, and also as a raw material for further deep processing; use as food (the whole plant or its separate parts, in raw or processed form); obtaining medicinal raw materials; obtaining raw materials used in various industries (technical plants); creation of plantings of various functional purposes (forest growing, phyto-amelioration, landscaping of populated areas, etc.). Based on the analysis of published data and the results of original research, it was examined various aspects of the resource potential of 143 species of woody plants most commonly growing in the wild and/or cultivated areas, which are the most resistant to the conditions of Moscow region. Among them, 130 species are used in landscaping, 21 species are of great importance for gardening, 4 species are used for industrial harvesting of fruits. The wood of almost all described plants is used for various purposes. Representatives of 70 species are used for the production of dyes for fabrics, 31 species are used for obtaining oils for technical, medicinal or food purposes. Almost all plants are used in traditional medicine, 35 species are included in the official pharmacopoeia. Plants of 101 species are edible; 85 species are involved in honey production; 10 species are more or less poisonous. For commercial forest growing, 17 plant species are used; 67 species are included in the phyto-amelioration of landscapes.
Keywords: woody plants; resource potential; Moscow region.
