Наукові засади відновлення парку імені Івана Франка у м. Львові

Abstract

Ancient parks, located in the settlements of our state, make up a significant part of the cultural, historical, ecological and socio-economic value of natural resources. That is why the issue of their preservation, protection and restoration is extremely important today. The object of study is the oldest city park in Ukraine. Long-term studies using conventional techniques have made it possible to study the stages of formation of the park, its taxonomic, age and spatial structure, to assess the quality of plantations. It has been found that 76 species of trees and shrubs are growing in the park, with deciduous plants predominantly. Most woody plants are aged 20-60 years, but specimens have been found that have been growing in the park since its establishment (over 300 years). There is a lack of differentiated vertical structure and park edges in the park, as well as the poor condition of flower beds and lawns. The problem of excessive recreational load, which is manifested in soil compaction and deterioration of the qualitative state of woody plants, remains urgent. The basic conceptual provisions for the restoration of the park, which presuppose the preservation of ancient trees as monuments of nature and history, the introduction of reconstruction, restoration and conservation measures, which will improve the general condition of the plantations of the park and increase its aesthetic appeal.
