This article examines the biological and ecological characteristics of the Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and its adaptability to the soil and climatic conditions of Uzbekistan. The morphological structure, reproduction, distribution, and ecological significance of the tree are analyzed. The prospects of utilizing Red Maple in greening urban and rural areas, its role in moderating urban climates, its aesthetic and ecological importance, as well as its requirements for soil, moisture, and light are explored. The advantages and potential challenges of introducing this species in Uzbekistan are also discussed.
