LANDSCAPE-GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH TO ASSESSMENT THE STATE OF PLANTINGS IN THE ‘OTRADNAYA’ BEAM
Abstract
Volgograd is one of the industrial cities where the role of green spaces is particularly important for preserving the ecological situation and reducing the pressure on the city's ecosystem.
Purpose. Was to assess the forest-cultural landscapes of urbanized territories using a landscape-geographical approach based on remote data mapping.
Materials and methods. We used digital large-scale satellite images of Quick Bird (M 1: 4000-1:17000) with a resolution of 0.6 m, topographic maps of the city of Volgograd (M 1:100000), etc. reference materials. The main method of research was landscape-ecological profiling of key sites. The laying of taxational sample areas in the plantings was carried out on the basis of generally accepted methods for forest taxation and agroforestry management.
Results. The study describe the data on the explication of land on 2 key sites located in the Kirovsky district of Volgograd and the main morphological features of the forest stand: No. 1 200-250m south of the village of Gornaya Polyana. The total area of the plot is 412.6 hectares. The afforestation of the territory of the key site is 74.9%. The key site No. 2 is located to the south of the Otradnaya gulch, on the inter-girder watershed of the Otradnaya and Kapustnaya gullies. The total area of the plot is 304.1 hectares. The afforestation of the key area No. 2 is 54.3%.
Conclusion. Almost the entire plakor on the key site No. 1 is occupied by an array of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Robinia pseudoacacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), which is responsible for the high forest cover of the plakor layer. The high forest cover of the hydrographic network (84 %) is due to the natural wood mass preserved in the Otradnaya gulch. At the key site No. 2, the forest cover in all landscape strips does not exceed 70%.
