Abstract
In the Volgograd region, which belongs to low-forest regions, old-growth plantings pre-dominate, in which about 80,0% of the total dendrological composition is accounted for by repre-sentatives of the generic Ulmus complex. In the conditions of urbanization, the pathological pro-cesses and the weakening of woody plants increases. The stable weakened state of the elm trees is typical for squares and roadside plantings (Bsr = 3.28-3.36, respectively). Favorable conditions for maintaining the life optimum of elms are formed in parks, protective forest strips and arbore-tums, where healthy or weakened trees predominate (Bsr = 1,82-1,69-1,87 respectively). Phyl-lophages of different ecological groups are trophically related to the arboreal species of Ulmus. Among leaf-eating pests, Xanthogaleruca luteola Mull is of important economic importance. The pest population varies depending on the ecological conditions of the biotopes and Ulmus species.
