Аналіз дендрофлори парку ім. Т. Г. Шевченка у м. Тернополі

Abstract

The city of Ternopil is one of the regional centers of Ukraine, the rate of landscaping which is one of the highest. Among the plantations of the city with a large area (22,0 hectares) stands out the park of Taras Shevchenko, located on the banks of the Ternopil pond. V.M. Chernyak, V.O. Burma, I.O. Pyatkivsky, R.B. Dudyn, P.P. Tsaryk, S.M. Pidkhovna and others studied the flora of the city of Ternopil and the region. The dendroflora of the park includes 55 taxa of trees, shrubs and vines, which belong to 38 genera and 24 families. The most numerous in terms of number of representatives are the families Rosaceae and Pinaceae. The total number of woody plants is 1836 specimens. The park is significantly dominated by deciduous trees and shrubs (82%). In general, trees make up 77%, of which conifers – 12,4%. All woody plants of the park are phanerophytes, and mesophanerophytes dominate – 62%. In relation to light, light-loving species predominate (68%). 51% of plants are cold-resistant and only 19% are heat-loving. Most of the park's plants are resistant to environmental pollution (only 10% are not gas-resistant). The results of the study of plants in relation to fertility and soil moisture indicate favorable conditions for their growth and development, as most of them show medium and high demands on habitat conditions: 69% are meso- and mesohygrophytes and 56% – megatrophs. Based on the sanitary assessment of the plantations, it was found that about 8,5% of the park's plants have various damages: frost cracks, core rot, coppice, hollows. 8 dead trees were found, 32 specimens need sanitary pruning. 17 plants are recommended for removal for various reasons.
