Распознавание деревьев и кустарников в самый ранний период их самостоятельного существования - в виде всходов из проросших семян - имеет большое практическое значение.
Это важно прежде всего при производстве лесобиологических и лесохозяйственных обследований в целях установления возможности естественного возобновления древесно-кустарниковых пород и определения характера и интенсивности этого процесса.
Не менее существенным является определение видов деревьев и кустарников по всходам и при работах в лесных и садово-парковых питомниках для выяснения грунтовой всхожести семян и корректирования норм их высева.
