| Abstract | The results of the analysis of the living above-ground cover, understory and undergrowth in the recreation and health forests of the city of Lviv during the study of the forests of the Borshkovytsky Forestry are presented. The research was conducted in oak-pine stands 50 years old, as one of the most visited during recreation during the growing season of 2023 in the zones of mass, moderate and weak visitation. The plantations are at the III, II and I stages of recreational digression, respectively. The research of the undergrowth and undergrowth was carried out on 75 recording sites with an area of 300 m2. 15, 16, and 21 species of grasses, shrubs, and mosses were identified in the living topsoil, respectively. From 2 to 6 species have been identified in the understory, where in the zone of mass and weak visitation, the dominant height is the group "up to 0.25 m". In the zone of low attendance, the dominance of plants of this height group is due to the closedness of the upper tiers. The undergrowth consists of Pinus sylvestris L., Quercus robur L., Quercus rubra L., Betula pendula Roth., Prunus avium L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Carpinus betulus L., Acer platanoides L., та Pyrus communis L. In the areas of mass and moderate recreation, there is an increase in the age group of 1-2 years, and in the control group – 5-7 years. The incidence is 0.9, 0.8 and 0.7, respectively. The quality of natural regeneration is influenced by forest vegetation conditions, the closedness of the upper tent and the intensity of recreational use. Natural renewal is assessed for the zone of mass and moderate recreation as "insufficient", and for the control "unsatisfactory". Increasing the efficiency of the reforestation process involves: temporary fencing of critical forest areas for the period of recovery; redirection of vacationers to more stable areas; reduction of the relative completeness of tree stands to 0.7-0.6 and conducting monitoring in recreational and recreational forests. | ||
