Such changes provide an opportunity for the remaining cities to improve the quality of the environment through urban green spaces and solve the problem of meeting the aspirations of the community. The purpose of the study was to identify the importance and effectiveness of eight cultural ecosystem services during the war for park visitors in Kyiv. The following methods were used in the study: field survey (route), analytical, systematisation, sociological, socio-psychological, statistical. The Likert psychometric scale was used to survey visitors of two parks in Kyiv to identify the importance and effectiveness of eight cultural ecosystem services provided by parks. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. It was established that during the war, the visitors of the parks “Yunist” and “Sovky” noted the importance and effectiveness of such cultural ecosystem services as recreation, aesthetics, and nature awareness. It is determined that young people aged 16-30 and 51-60 are most in need of such services, and social relations in both Yunist and Sovky parks for all age categories are located in the reserve zone of service supply. The proven that effectiveness and importance of such services as cultural heritage and spiritual enrichment are the lowest for all age categories. Almost half of the visitors in the two parks provided suggestions for improving the quality of the environment, the greatest need was to increase the number of plantings and improve the improvement of territory, in the park “Sovky” respondents stated the need cultural heritage. It was established that the quality of plantings and the location of parks affected the overall satisfaction of visitors.

The purpose of this study was to collect and analyse information on protected plant species and communities in the Ivotka river basin in the Sumy region and study the conditions of their distribution. In the course of the study, field examinations were conducted to search for rare plants and describe the places of their localisation using the route diagnostic method and desk studies to identify the found material.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of windbreaks. During the study, data from remote sensing of the Earth using satellite imagery was utilised, which allowed for determining field parameters, the placement of the windbreak system, and their characteristics. Forest inventory works were conducted using commonly accepted methods in forest mensuration, with adjustments made specifically for windbreaks. The quality class of windbreaks was determined based on the percentage of healthy trees out of the total number, and the sanitary condition index was calculated according to established categories. The analysis of the obtained data clearly shows a decline in the quality sequence of common oak from 9 to 3 units within the plantations. The windbreaks were created using the method of oak nest planting, with oak nests placed at a spacing of 5.0×3.0 m and a total windbreak width of 15.0 m. Two additional rows of companion trees were introduced in the wide 5-metre alleys, and companion and shrub species were added within the nest rows. The analysis of the characteristics of windbreaks showed that they have protective heights ranging from 19.6 m to 23.4 m and provide reliable protection for adjacent agricultural fields. Based on the range of effective protective effects of windbreaks, it can be noted that the calculated indicators provide protection with a reliable safety margin of up to 17%. If there is a need to create new windbreaks using the nest planting method in the future, a more efficient scheme is proposed, which involves placing companion tree species in the outer rows to prevent the crowns of the inner rows from spreading towards the field.

Therefore, the goal was to conduct experimental studies to determine the stability of the adhesive bond of a window element made of wood under the influence of temperature and moisture static fluctuations. In this regard, a comprehensive approach was applied to experimentally establish the effectiveness of the glued wood layer by investigating the resistance of the adhesive layer to destruction when changing temperature and humidity fields within a wide range. According to the experimental values of the adhesive layer boundary after exposure to temperature and humidity fields such as glued wood, it was established that the best result of the tensile strength (0.29 N/mm2) was obtained for polyurethane adhesive. For rubber glue and PVA, the tensile strength was 0.17 N/mm2, which provides adhesion quite well due to its properties. This is due to the fact that the adhesive composition must have sufficient elasticity to allow the wood to expand and dry out under the influence of temperature. In turn, the glued layer based on bustilate and liquid glass, has the tensile strength set at a preasure of 0.07 N/mm2 and 0.12 N/mm2 accordingly. A decrease in the adhesive capacity for bustilate is due to the fact that at a low-temperature level, it loses its properties. The liquid glass-based adhesive has an alkaline environment and interacts with the components of wood resin acids, reducing adhesion. The results obtained allow selecting effective adhesives for the production of composite materials from wood, depending on the operating conditions, and provide for the properties of glued wood","PeriodicalId":425527,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Forest and Wood Science","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132329082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intensive tourist flow on popular hiking trails leads to recreational digression, topsoil compaction, development of erosion processes and deterioration of forests. The research aims to determine the impact of recreation as an external mechanical impact on soil compaction by determining the soil penetration resistance under the canopy of predominant spruce stands. For this purpose, soil penetration resistance was measured with a penetrometer along two hiking trails within the root layer of the soil at four measuring sites at different distances from the hiking trail. In general, under the canopy of a forest stand, the soil cover is not homogeneous and the obtained penetration resistance values are characterised by considerable variability. It was revealed that for the “Zelene village – Uhorski skeli rocks” hiking trail in the areas close to the path (up to 20 m) there is a significant increase in soil penetration resistance compared to remote areas: at a depth of 10 cm it doubles, at a depth of 20 cm – by 20-40%, but with further deepening, the penetration resistance level off. At the same time, for the more popular “To Mount Pip Ivan Chornohirskyi” hiking trail, in the area adjacent to the trailbed, the penetration resistance reaches 19.6 kg·cm-2 in the upper 10 cm layer, and at a depth of 30 cm, it peaks at 37.8 kg·cm-2 (over 3 MPa), which affects the root spatial distribution of spruce forests. Intensive erosion processes due to soil compaction with an increase in soil penetration resistance above 60 kg·cm-2 (~6 MPa) are observed on the trailbed.

The purpose of the study was a statistical substantiation of the division of pine stands into groups by region of growth and stand composition, and their detailed inventory characteristics with an analysis of the distribution in the Forest-Steppe and their productivity. To conduct the study, a stand-wise database of the Production Association “Ukrderzhlisproekt” for Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine was used. Using a number of non-parametric criteria for evaluating samples (Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, the median criterion, Jonckheere-Terpstra test), the study established a difference in the stands parameters of the samples under study and divided the stands of the Forest-Steppe zone into four groups. The main task was to describe the current state of modal pine stands of the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine for selected groups, with a detailed distribution of areas and stocks according to the main stand parameters According to the results of the database analysis, it was found that about 92% of the total area of pine stands of the Forest-Steppe zone are artificial forests. Depending on the region of growth, the stands were divided into the left- and right-bank parts of the Forest-Steppe, in composition – into pure and mixed stands. Within the groups under study, the distribution of areas and stocks of pine stands was analysed according to site index classes, types of forest-growing conditions, forest types, relative stand density, and age groups. Site index classes in all groups are dominated by high site index stands of I and Ia site index classes. The proportion of high-grade mixed stands is greater compared to pure stands. In terms of the forest-growing conditions, stands in condition B2 dominate in all groups under study. From the left bank to the right bank, there is an increase in soil fertility from condition B to condition C, and this dependence is also observed from pure to mixed stands. Productivity in terms of the average growing stock of mixed stands of the rightbank and left-bank parts of the Forest-Steppe is very close and considerably less than the stocks of pure stands.

The research aims to determine the optimal parameters for UAV data collection to obtain accurate information about stands, considering the cost of resources for its collection. The process of collecting remote sensing data consisted of nine combinations divided into three levels of overlap and three levels of spatial resolution (survey altitude) and changing the degree of filtering of a dense point cloud during image processing. Individual tree detectingin the stand was performed using the R programming language and the ForestTools package. The results of the assessment of the dependence of the radius of tree crowns on their height were used to set the parameters of the variable filter function for finding local maxima for Scots pine stands. Errors in the identification of treetops were estimated using the F-score. The identified heights were compared with the field data of the ground survey. The proportion of classified digital elevation model DEM in the dense point cloud was reduced from the total area of the test site using images of 4.1 cm/pix spatial resolution (150 m survey altitude). The study presents the results of assessing the impact of spatial resolution of optical images collected from UAVs and their overlap on the results of measurements of stands parameters. It is determined that a photogrammetric survey with input images with a longitudinal overlap of less than 90% is not appropriate for the study of forest areas due to the impossibility of aligning all images. The results of the assessment of tree accounting in the stand showed that it is most appropriate to use images with a spatial resolution of up to 3.3 cm/pix (120 m survey altitude), otherwise, the proportion of missed treetops increases. Reducing the spatial resolution of remote sensing data leads to an increase in errors in determining the height of individual trees, and the average heights of the experimental plots had the same trend. Given the combination of the assessed factors, it is not recommended to use images with a spatial resolution of more than 3.3 cm/pix for forestry research due to increased errors in the individual tree detection and tree height determination.

In this context, it is important to analyse modern tools and techniques that can adequately determine and evaluate the amount of ecosystem services, which was the main goal of the study. In this paper, the possibility of using the i-Tree Eco tools for quantitative and cost determination of the volume of ecosystem services created by park spaces in the green space inventory process is tested. For this purpose, on the example of the prefix part of the Rayivskyy landscape park of the Ternopil region, the measurement of biometric and sanitary indicators of trees during their inventory was conducted, a number of ecosystem services of plants were determined (reduction of pollutants, absorption and sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and regulation of avoided runoff), the replacement cost of trees was established, the data obtained were analysed, the interpretation of the information received in the form of an interactive electronic map was performed, and the advantages and disadvantages of this process were determined. The study showed that the cost of ecosystem services (in the context of the indicators under study) for the attached part of the Rayivskyy landscape park is 81894 UAH (€3044) per year, and the total replacement cost of the examined plantings is 4486,464 thousand UAH (€166,783).
