Public parks’ greenery in Rivne

Abstract

For the further establishment of effective ways of preserving, rehabilitating and enriching dendro diversity in Rivne, studies of
the current state of the dendroflora of city public parks have been carried out. The results of the studies made it possible to determine
the quantitative and qualitative state of the species diversity of woody and bush plants of the five districts of the city. It was
established that in the territory of Rivne there are 39 public parks and two boulevards with a total area of 43.4550 hectares. The
share of public gardens and boulevards in the total area of public gardened areas is 27.3%. The public parks in the city are unevenly
located; the vast majority of them are concentrated in the central district. The inhabitants of the southern and western regions are
the least equipped with recreational territories. The bases of most public parks in the city are green lawns, pierced with roads and
flowers, in combination with rows of landings or groups of trees and bushes. The plantations of the central city public parks feature
a variety of introduced species that have been successfully acclimated to the conditions of the region, but most of them are not
widespread and occur in separate places of growth. The living condition of the shrubs of the city public parks depends on the
environmental conditions and varies from satisfactory to unsatisfactory in the northern, eastern, western and central regions and in
good condition in the southern region. Recreational load of varying degrees undergo all green areas of city public parks. It affects the vital state of greenery, worsens their phytomelioration and aesthetic functions. Thus, it is necessary to increase both the species
and the intraspecific diversity of green plantations, especially in the western part of the city, due to sustainable, adapted to ur ban
conditions of plants in accordance with soil-climatic zoning.
