Abstract

This paper presents the research results of a comprehensive assessment of the ecological state of vegetation of 48 public gardens located in various administrative districts of Ulan-Ude. The study of the current state of vegetation of public gardens will allow us to assess the environmental situation in the urban area. As a result of route observations, an observation zone was created in the public gardens under study. Besides, we fully described the vegetation in each location. Also, we identified the types of plantations, their age structure, and quantitative composition. Then, we assessed the ecological state of vegetation based on a complex of bio-morphological features. All data obtained were included in the passport of the landscaping area. In addition, we evaluated the sanitary condition of tree and shrub species in the landscaping sites to identify the factors of their weakening. As a result, we found that tree and shrub plantations in the studied public gardens have a heterogeneous species composition and low species diversity. Speaking about the age structure of urban plantations, we noted a predominance of tree and shrub species of the third age class. We calculated the factors of a comprehensive ecological assessment of vegetation in all public gardens of Ulan-Ude. The study revealed that most of the gardens are in a weakened and extremely weakened state. Therefore, we carried out a qualitative assessment of the state of flower beds and lawns in the studied gardens. As a research result, we noticed the natural degradation of vegetation in the green space of Ulan-Ude due to the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the urban environment.
