Estimation of the possibility of using autochton species for landscaping urbanized spaces in the territory of Belarus
Keywords:
anthropogenic load, urban spacesAbstract
Objective of the research. Based on the analysis of the composition of highly decorative representatives of the flora of Belarus, growing in places with a high level of anthropogenic impact, to assess the possibility of using autochthonous species for planting greenery in urban areas.
Materials and methods. Standard methods of analytical chemistry.
Results. The article presents the main results of ecological and botanical research on changes in phytocenotic parameters and aesthetics of the vegetation cover during the growing season. Highly decorative plants were found most of all among eutrophic eumezophytes (Leucanthemum vulgare Lam., Primula veris L., Agrimonia eupatoria L., etc.) and xeromesophytes (Centaurea jacea L., Origanum vulgare L., etc.).
Most sites show the presence of species such as Achillea millefolium L., Centaurea jacea L., Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult., Plantago lanceolata L., Daucus carota L., Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch., Trifolium pratense L., Viscaria vulgaris Bernh., Echium vulgare L., Dianthus deltoides L., Leucanthemum vulgare Lam., Cota tinctoria (L.) J. Gay., Betonica officinalis L., Origanum vulgare L. were found in areas with less intense anthropogenic load.
Conclusion. The composition of soils, pollution and highly ornamental species of the autochthonous flora of Belarus in areas with increased anthropogenic significance were analyzed.
