			High ecological flexibility of shrubby willow species makes possible their use for reclamation of sites devasted by industrial and communal activities. The shoots of Salix sp. can be used for erosion controll on steep banks of the water courses and scarps at transport routes as well as for forming either the zones protecting against motor-vehicle emission and noise suppression walls (along the roads crossing the settlements). These plants can be grown in buffer zones around water intakes, sewage treatment plants or waste dumps.
