Features of ecological formation and development of the forest park “Medvedkovsky”

Abstract

The forest park landscape is a cultural “anthropogenic landscape”, which assumes optimal and rational use of natural resources in order to create favorable conditions for mass recreation in the natural forest environment. The impact of recreation on the forest park areas, as well as on the territory of all protected areas, has a number of regularities. In cases where the number of visitors significantly above the acceptable level, and resistance is relatively low, the anthropogenic impact is not only visible, but can be damaging to the individual components of the environment, and sometimes to the whole complex in general. Such an impact causes a response from the natural environment. The analysis of the state of the Medvedkovsky forest park was carried out to recognize the main determinants of the negative repercussions on this territory. For this purpose, the flora and fauna, the road and path network, the degree of recreational digression of the territory, as well as the noise impact exerted on it due to its proximity to the MKAD (Moscow ring road) were taken in account.
