Seasons are seasons characterized by weather and temperature. They change depending on the annual cycle. Plants and animals adapt well to these seasonal changes.

In the tropics it is never very cold or very hot; there are only two seasons: one is wet and rainy, the other is dry. Near the equator (the imaginary midline) it is hot and humid throughout the year.

Temperate zones (outside the tropics) have spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Typically, the closer you are to the North or South Pole, the cooler the summers and colder the winters.

In three spring months, nature manages to change beyond recognition. In March, she is just beginning to awaken from hibernation. The spring heat is not enough to make the snow and ice blocks melt, but the air gradually warms up, preparing all living things for a gradual awakening; the first cumulus clouds appear, which still soar very high.

Astronomers consider the beginning of spring to be March 21–22, the moment of the vernal equinox, when day is equal to night, and the end to be June 21–22, the longest days of the year.

For naturalists, spring begins with the arrival of rooks (on average March 19) and the flow of sap from the Norway maple (March 25).

This season is conventionally divided into three periods: early spring - before the snow melts in the fields (until half of April), middle spring - before the bird cherry blossoms (until half of May) and late spring - before the apple and lilac trees bloom (until the beginning of June).

Phenomena in inanimate nature.

In the second half of March, the days become noticeably longer and the nights become shorter; The sun rises higher and higher at noon above the horizon, its rays fall more directly on the earth and warm it up more strongly. The snow becomes loose, begins to melt, and open places thawed patches form.

In the second half of March, the first cumulus clouds appear.

They are very beautiful, looking like snow-white, dome-shaped masses with smooth bases. Clouds usually appear in the morning or at noon due to the heating of the air adjacent to the earth; in the evening, when the ascending currents weaken, they begin to disappear and melt.

In the first half of April the snow melts off; The streams formed when it melts run down to reservoirs.

Ice drift usually begins in mid-April. Shortly before this, edges appear near the shore - narrow strips of water. Under the influence of water and sun, cracks form in the ice, it splits and moves away. Ice floes, crowded and jostled, rush down the river, hitting the banks and piles of bridges. In the middle of the river, ice floes move faster than near the banks. Along the way they melt. The river is freed from the ice cover, overflows its banks and overflows. The flood begins.

Usually the first thunderstorm occurs in early May.

At this time and later, sudden cold snaps often occur with frosts, from which plants, especially fruit and berry plants, suffer greatly.

Spring awakening of trees. Soon after thawed patches appear, the trees awaken: they begin to flow sap. This phenomenon is revealed if you pierce the bark with a thick needle: a sweet transparent liquid flows out of the rakka; in air it oxidizes and acquires a reddish color.

Extracting sap causes great harm to trees.

Sap flow is a complex physiological process. The roots begin to actively absorb water from the thawing soil, which dissolves winter reserves. nutrients plants and in the form of a solution moves along the trunk and branches to the buds.

Swelling and budding.

Top 16 primroses among shrubs and trees

Ten days after the start of sap flow, swelling of the buds becomes noticeable, in which rudimentary shoots are located under the protective bud scales.

Wind-pollinated trees and shrubs bloom before they are covered with leaves, or at the very beginning of their development.

Alder and hazel are the first to bloom in the second half of April, and among those pollinated by insects, willow. The buds of the willow are tightly covered with brown scales that look like caps.

Having shed them, the buds look like fluffy balls consisting of hairs that protect the flowers from sudden fluctuations in temperature and rain.

In April, most of the trees are still bare, but the integumentary scales of the swollen buds are already moving apart, and the tailbones of the leaves appear from them.
The appearance of leaves. The young leaves of some trees are covered with a sticky fragrant substance, while others have a fluff that protects them from the cold.

The light green color of the trees is tender and transparent at this time.

At the end of April, bird cherry and birch buds bloom; in the first half of May - buds of maple, yellow acacia, apple and pear trees, and then - oak and linden.

In late spring, in the second half of May, the real blossoming of spring begins. Bird cherry blossoms, at the same time - black currants, a little later - wild strawberries and fruit trees, lilac, rowan and most herbaceous plants.

In the last days of May, the fruits of aspen and willow ripen.

The petals of apple and lilac flowers fall off - spring ends, summer begins.

Biology Spring phenomena in plant life

Spring is the time for nature to awaken. According to the calendar, spring begins on March 1st. In nature, spring comes into its own with the beginning of sap flow in the trees, earlier in the south and later in the north on March 1.

The spring movement of sap in trees and shrubs is the first sign of spring. It occurs after the soil thaws and water from the roots begins to flow into all organs of the plant. At that time leaves Not yet.

Water accumulating in cells plant stems, dissolves the stored in them organic matter. These solutions move to the swollen and blooming kidneys. Already at the beginning of March, spring sap flow begins in Norway maple, earlier than in other trees, and a little later in birch.

The second sign of spring is the flowering of wind-pollinated trees and shrubs.

Gray alder is the first to bloom in the central European part of the USSR. Its flowers are inconspicuous, but the blooming earrings of staminate flowers are clearly visible 123 . As soon as you touch an alder branch with earrings, the wind picks up a whole cloud of yellow pollen.

Pistillate alder flowers are collected in small grayish-green inflorescences. Next to them, the dry, blackened cones of last year's inflorescences are usually clearly visible.

Almost simultaneously with the alder, the hazel tree, which you met in the fall, blooms.

The staminate flowers of hazel develop in inflorescences - complex catkins, and the reddish stigmas of pistillate flowers protrude from generative (flower) buds.

Early flowering of alder, hazel and other wind-pollinated plants plants- good adaptation to life in the forest.

Bare leafless branches do not impede pollination. Pollen picked up by the wind is freely transferred from one plant to another.

The flowering of coltsfoot is also a sign of the coming spring. This perennial herbaceous plant grows in open, sunlit places, on railway embankments, river banks, steep slopes and cliffs.

As soon as the snow melts, its scaly stems already appear - flower stalks with bright yellow inflorescences, similar to the inflorescences of dandelions 124 . Large leaves of coltsfoot grow after its fluffy fruits ripen and disperse.

Coltsfoot received its unusual name for the uniqueness of its leaves. Their underside is covered with white, soft, felt-like hairs, and the upper side of the leaves is smooth and cold.

Blooming coltsfoot in early spring, before the leaves bloom, perhaps because its thick, long rhizomes have accumulated reserves of nutrients deposited in the summer of last year.

Feeding on these reserves, flower plants grow shoots and fruits are formed.

The third sign of spring is the flowering of perennial herbaceous plants in the deciduous forest. In the middle zone they bloom almost simultaneously with coltsfoot. The first to bloom in the forest are the noble liverwort with azure flowers and the lungwort, then the oak anemone and buttercup 125 , corydalis 119 , spring clear 126 , spring primrose 127 .

Flowering shrubs in spring

All of them are photophilous and bloom under the forest canopy, when there is no foliage on the trees and shrubs.

In the life of some early flowering herbaceous plants of the forest, their growth under snow is very interesting. Plants such as scilla or snowdrop grow under the snow in winter.

In the spring, many of them emerge from under the snow with green leaves and buds that formed last fall.

Οʜᴎ often bloom before the snow melts 128 . That's why these plants are called snowdrops.

Plants that bloom in early spring always attract attention because they are beautiful and because they are the first plants to bloom after a long winter. Unfortunately, they are often collected in large bouquets. They often destroy entire plants by uprooting them. Plants whose flowering shoots are torn off do not produce fruits or seeds.

This makes it difficult for them to reproduce. Many of the plants have become very rare, for example, liverwort and sleep grass. We must not allow them to disappear completely. We are obliged to take care of the preservation of plants, not to tear them in order to throw them away every other day, not to damage them wild plants and actively protect nature.

Protection of Nature and rational use natural resources countries are legalized by the Constitution of Russia, i.e.

e. obligatory for all citizens of our country.

Trees and shrubs that are pollinated by insects bloom later, after the leaves have bloomed. If you observe the progress of spring from year to year, you will be able to establish the sequence of spring development of plants.

In the middle zone of the European part of the USSR, usually 8 days after the coltsfoot flowering, lungwort begins to bloom, and 21 days later - dandelion and willow willow.

The pear blooms on the 29th day, the yellow acacia on the 30th, and the linden on the 75th day after the coltsfoot begins to bloom.

Every year, spring phenomena occur in strict order. For example, lungwort always blooms later than coltsfoot, but before dandelion.

Observations of spring phenomena in plant life help to establish the best timing for agricultural work and prepare for it in a timely manner.

For example, it is known: in the middle zone, the best harvest of cucumbers is obtained by sowing their seeds during the flowering of lilacs and yellow acacia, and the best harvest of turnips and beets is obtained by sowing them during the flowering of aspen.

Knowing how many days after the flowering of the coltsfoot the lilac blooms, it is easy to set the date for sowing cucumbers and prepare for it.

Signs of spring in inanimate nature:
1) Main sign In inanimate nature, spring means that the sun rises much higher above the horizon than in winter.
2) It shines brighter and warms more and more every day.

The days are getting longer.
3) The most noticeable sign of the onset of spring in inanimate nature is the melting of snow.
4) The ice begins to melt. Ice drift begins on the rivers.
5) It is very dangerous to walk on melted ice. You cannot play games on the river during ice drift.
6) When rivers and lakes overflow with water from melted snow, water fills meadows, forests, and fields along the river.

This is called high water.
7) The soil thaws from the spring heat. A lot of moisture accumulates in it. Plants really need this moisture.
8) In spring it rains, not snow. The first thunderstorm is not far away.

Signs of spring in wildlife:
a) in the life of birds with the arrival of spring: migratory birds return, build nests, lay eggs, hatch chicks
Such changes became possible because many birds feed on insects. And with the arrival of spring, insects crawl out of their hiding places.

There is more food for the birds. Ice on rivers and lakes has melted, so waterfowl are returning

b) in the life of animals: Animals molt - they change their winter coat to a summer one. Bears, badgers, hedgehogs, and chipmunks are waking up from their winter sleep.

Many animals give birth to cubs in the spring.

c) Buds swell on deciduous trees and shrubs; catkins, silvery lambs, flowers appear, then leaves appear. U coniferous trees The color of the bark and needles changes.
Young grass covers the ground, many plants begin to bloom. Typically, early flowering herbaceous plants are called snowdrops.

if you write everything briefly:
The sun is higher than in winter. The days have become longer. It's getting warmer outside. The sky in spring is blue and high.

The clouds are white and light. Snow and ice are melting. There is ice drift and flood on the rivers. In the spring, it snows or rains in different months. In May the first thunderstorm thunders. The soil thaws, buds appear on the trees, and then sticky leaves appear. Primroses are blooming. Insects appear. Migratory birds are returning. Forest animals breed.

1. Statement of the topic and purpose of the lesson.

It is impossible to imagine our nature without the white-trunked beauty of the birch. How many fairy tales, poems, songs have been written about her? Interestingly, the birch, the only tree in Russia with white bark, lives

birch 100 - 120 years. Yes, people love birch, but how often do they not take care of it? Losing a considerable part of its sap in the spring due to human fault, the birch

If you inflict wounds on her for several years in a row, she may

completely die. Remember that the sugar contained in the sap is needed to nourish the tree!

The movement of sap in trees and shrubs is a sign of their spring

awakening.

Another sign is the flowering of some trees and shrubs. Alder is the first tree to bloom. It is easily recognized in winter and spring by the black cones on the branches. In spring, catkins appear on alder trees.

Which trees are the first to wake up in spring? I urgently give 100 points

Earrings are many small flowers gathered together.

Willow blooms early in spring. Bees and bumblebees hover near its flowers. They come here for sweet nectar.

Of the shrubs, hazel and wolf's bast bloom the earliest. On hazel, like on alder, catkins are visible. And wolf's bast is a poisonous plant.

All these plants are early flowering. They bloom before they bloom

Birch blooms later, when its leaves are already beginning to bloom.

Even later, the bird cherry blossoms.

Swelling of buds and blossoming of leaves is a sign of spring.

awakening trees and shrubs.

Guys, interesting changes occur in the spring with coniferous plants.

The larch is completely covered with new needles. But conifers never bloom.

Rules for friends of nature: do not damage the bark of trees, do not cut into

her letters.

Don't collect birch sap. Take care of the trees! Do not break off branches of flowering trees and bushes. Without flowers there will be no fruits!

IV. Physical exercise.

V. Practical work.

Modest but blooming...

Most native trees and shrubs bloom very early, before the leaves emerge. : alder (Alnus), hazel (Corylus), elm (Ulmus), willow (Salix). Their flowers are small and inconspicuous, but, as a rule, they are collected in inflorescences that are clearly visible. Their flowering looks quick, but after a long winter we admire it with delight. Even unassuming yellow catkins of alder and hazel evoke positive emotions. It is very interesting to watch how the spring breeze picks up a yellow pollen cloud, the movement of which is clearly visible against the background of the yet-to-melt snow. Poplars look very expressive when long, red men's earrings appear on them.

In the first ten days of April goat willow (Salix sargea) blooms, dressed up in yellow male inflorescences-balls. Smooth elm (Ulmus laevis) During flowering, it is covered with a light lilac flair, but we do not always notice this, since we do not raise our heads up. Female and male flowers are orientally graceful and bright larches (Larix).

Bright luxurious flowering trees and shrubs

In early spring, our gardens can be decorated with wolfberry and rhododendrons. You can no longer call them modest and unassuming! Daphne mezereum, or wolf's bast, is valued for its early and colorful flowering. This low shrub blooms until the leaves bloom within 15 to 20 days. The flowers are small, fragrant, lilac-pink or pink-lilac in color, collected in bunches of 2-5 pieces or single. In mid-summer, the wolfberry exhibits no less decorative fruits of bright red color. The shrub is frost-resistant, develops well in semi-shaded places, but you need to be careful with it - all parts of the plant are poisonous.

Has popular varieties: 'Alba'- flowers cream color and light yellow fruits; ‘Bowles White’ - with white flowers and yellow fruits; ‘Rubra Select'- with large, bright red flowers, re-blooming is often observed in autumn; ‘Variegata’- with spectacular white-edged leaves.

Rhododendrons(Rhododendron) will decorate any garden. Early flowering species include the river. Daurian (Rhododendron dauricum) and Schlippenbach rhododendron (Rhododendron schlippenbachii). The first one blooms from mid-April, at which time its leafless shoots decorate pink flowers up to 4 cm in diameter. The second is considered the most beautiful deciduous rhododendron; at the end of April it displays luxurious pale pink flowers with purple specks up to 10 cm in diameter.

Real exotic plants

Male dogwood (Comus mas), or dogwood, also belongs to early flowering plants, among fruit crops it blooms first, in late March - early April, before the leaves bloom. Dogwood is very beautiful in early spring, when its shoots are covered with small, round, golden inflorescences. It's not only valuable fruit plant, but also decorative,

On a note

Wolfberry is a wonderful plant for rock gardens and compositions with dwarf coniferous crops. The twigs can be used for forcing, as evidenced by the early, spectacular flowering in the spring, the densely leafy crown in the summer and the bright red fruits in the fall. There are a number of varieties suitable for central Russia.

Exotic lovers will enjoy magnolias ( Magnolia), but we must take into account that in the conditions of central Russia only deciduous species can be grown. Almost every year we are bloomed magnolia lily (Magnolialiliflora) And magnolia kobus). The first is a shrub with very large, dark leaves and magnificent flowers, purple on the outside and white on the inside. It is considered very frost-resistant, especially its variety Nigra with deep purple flowers. The second grows in the form of a tree, but it is also formed in the form of a bush. Against the background of dark green leaves, snow-white, cup-shaped flowers up to 10 cm in diameter look impressive.

Magnolias do not like transplanting, so you need to immediately choose a suitable place for them and not disturb them in the future.

A rather promising species for central Russia is m. Laebner (M. xloebneri). Its variety is interesting Merrille- a small deciduous tree or tall shrub with a wide pyramidal crown and thin branches. The flowers are white with 9 - 12 petals, bloom before the leaves bloom. Grows well in all types of soil, except calcareous.

It will delight you with unusually bright and abundant flowering forsythia ovate (Forsythiaovata). Its single bright yellow flowers bloom earlier than other species. In addition, for the conditions of central Russia, it is considered the most winter-hardy. It has interesting varieties: SpringGlory- numerous flowers, up to 3.5 cm in diameter; Tetragold- shrub up to 1 m high, yellow flowers

It is impossible to imagine spring without blossoming apple trees, when gardens look like huge white and pink clouds appear very early; WeekEnd- a shrub up to 2 m tall with erect branches and large flowers.

The splendor of the Rosaceae

Representatives of this large family display abundant and colorful flowering every spring. The most popular in ornamental gardening is almonds low (Amygdalusnana), or bean. It blooms simultaneously with the leaves blooming, very profusely, in May, for two weeks. At this time, single bright pink flowers appear. Very light-loving, winter-hardy and drought-resistant, not picky about the soil. Has several varieties: Albiflora- with white flowers; Gessleriana- differs in smaller bush and leaves than the original species, and larger, up to 2.5 cm in diameter, bright pink flowers.

Beautifully blooms and bears fruit in middle lane Russia Georgian almonds (A.georgica), In autumn, very shaggy, bristly fruits appear on its shoots.

One of the most revered plants in Japan is sakura, which is considered a symbol of spring. This common name unites 13-14 types of cherries of Far Eastern and East Asian origin. Unfortunately, they are very heat-loving, but for central Russia we can recommend substitute plants, for example Apricot Manchurian (Armeniacamandschurica) and Siberian apricot (Armeniaca sibirica). These plants will delight you with early (before the leaves bloom) and abundant flowering. The first species has large, light pink or pink flowers, the second has smaller, white or pink flowers, blooming profusely for 7-10 days. All phases of seasonal development pass earlier than in Manchurian apricot. This can be taken into account in order to admire the flowering of these crops longer.

Manchurian apricot and Siberian apricot can be used as sakura substitute plants in Japanese gardens, as they are not afraid of returning spring frosts that destroy flower buds. It is recommended to whiten the trunks of these trees for the winter to prevent burns and frost damage.

Plums can also be included in the list of early flowering plants; they are valued not only for their fruiting qualities, but also for their decorative qualities.

For example, Prickly plum (Prunus spinosa), or sloe, will delight you with unusual flowering, especially its varieties: Plena - long and abundantly blooming with white double flowers; Purpurea - with pink flowers that stand out against the background of large purple leaves.

Chinese plum (Prunus salicina) It is distinguished by graceful, oblong leaves and abundant flowering. White flowers are collected in bunches resembling dense balls.

A native of Crimea and the Caucasus pear (Pyrus elaeagnifolia) The famous gardener and breeder Richard Ivanovich Schroeder recommended it for planting in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as it can withstand frosts down to - 30 ° C.

This beautiful tree, up to 10 m high, is very decorative during flowering, when its white flowers with bright purple stamens open. But the silvery-green leaves of an elegant lanceolate shape, similar to the leaves of the oleaster, give the plant a special charm, for which the plant was given its specific name.

It is impossible to imagine spring without blooming apple trees when apple orchards They look like huge, fragrant, white and pink clouds that descended from heaven onto our sinful earth. If we add to this splendor decorative apple trees with bright pink and purple-red flowers, then you can easily imagine what it should look like Garden of Eden. When apple trees bloom, the aroma spreads over a considerable distance and attracts many insects. But also per person fragrant plants have a beneficial effect, as they have been proven to be powerful antibiotics.

Very popular and in demand in landscaping apple tree (Malus baccata), having a number of unique varieties: Royal Beauty- with a beautiful weeping crown formed by branches hanging to the ground, which during the flowering period are strewn with dark pink flowers. Profusion- a luxurious tree up to 8 m high with a lush crown. Unusually bright simple flowers The branches are completely covered in burgundy color. Dense, thick crown Street Parade In spring it is decorated with large white flowers, and in autumn - red fruits. Niedzwetzkyana apple tree (Malus niedzwetzkyana) blooms its flowers of intense pink color in the second half of May - early June, and in August spectacular, violet-purple fruits with pink flesh appear on the branches.

Particularly popular varieties of purple apple trees (Malus x purpurea): Macamic- with pink flowers up to 3 - 4 cm in diameter. Eleyi - during flowering, bright red flowers almost completely hide the dark purple leaves. Royalty- large red flowers provide abundant and colorful flowering. Plum apple tree (Malus prunifolia), or I. Chinese, valued for abundant flowering and yellow fruits with a red blush, which make incredibly tasty jam, preserves and compotes.

Do you want all your neighbors to admire your spring-blooming garden? Plant it with spectacular trees and shrubs that shine with beauty in April and May.

We have not included all existing plants in the list, but only those that are especially popular among flower growers, are not very demanding to care for, are cold-resistant, and are not inferior to exotic plants in terms of decorativeness.

1. Almonds are low

Low almond, steppe almond, dwarf almond - all these are names of the same plant - a low, slow-growing deciduous shrub that belongs to the Rosaceae family.

It is very decorative, and not only during flowering. In addition, the shrub has medicinal properties, gives bountiful harvest and at the same time unpretentious in care. Steppe almonds winter safely without shelter even in Siberia.

The plant blooms in April for several weeks. Numerous soft pink flowers with a diameter of 2-3 cm bloom on the branches simultaneously with green lanceolate leaves. They have oval petals 10-17 mm long.

2. Forsythia, or forsythia

Sunny forsythia can be found in many cities; this bright shrub adorns city parks and areas near residential buildings. Yellow bell-like flowers appear in April even before the leaves bloom. And if you cut forsythia branches in February and put them in water at home, then after 2 weeks you will get a miniature golden beauty in a vase.

3. Spring-blooming spirea

In spring, spireas oakleaf, Arguta, gray, alpine, crenate, three-lobed, Thunberga, etc. bloom. Numerous white flowers appear on last year's shoots in May. Flowering lasts about a month. However, shrubs look most impressive in spring only if they grow in a sunny area. In the shade the flowers become smaller.

This "Russian sakura" blooms in early May. For two weeks before the leaves bloom, the bush is strewn with delicate flowers that look like roses, pink or crimson in color. Despite the heat-loving nature, the charming Louiseania grows well in the unstable climate of the middle zone. True, it overwinters exclusively under cover.

This popular shrub needs no introduction. Its fluffy panicle inflorescences bloom in early May and do not fade until the end of the month. The color of the flowers, depending on the variety, can be white, pink, lilac, purple, violet.

Rhododendrons belong to the Ericaceae family. These small trees and shrubs are found throughout the world, but are especially popular in China and Japan. Rhododendron flowers are collected in multi-flowered inflorescences of various colors: pink, purple, red, orange, yellow, white. They bloom in May, and at this time it is impossible to take your eyes off the rhododendron.
