The impact of anthropogenic activity on the heat resistance and condition of green spaces in the Central and Kirovsky Districts of Volgograd

This paper examines the impact of anthropogenic activity on the heat resistance and condition of green spaces in the Central and Kirovsky Districts of Volgograd. The method of the analyzed diagnostics of the state of green spaces used in the experiment is described the determination of heat resistance by the degree of damage to chlorophyll-bearing tissues according to F.F. Matskov. The role of the impact of motor transport on the degree of endurance by green spaces of high atmospheric temperatures is considered. The paper presents the results of a study of the heat resistance and state of trees under conditions of various levels of anthropogenic load. The study of the negative human impact on the state and degree of resistance to the action of high temperatures was carried out in the Central and Kirovsky Districts of the city of Volgograd. The studied territories belonged to a residential or park area, as well as transport. The experiments have shown that the indicators of the stability of tree plantations located near the highway and the residential area differ in terms of indicators. Exhaust gases from vehicles reduce the heat resistance of vegetation and their productivity. The obtained materials can serve as a basis for further monitoring of the state of green spaces in Volgograd and carrying out further measures of greening the city.
