Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the forests in the southern part of Kyiv. The article presents data on the projective cover, distribution, vitality, frequency of occurrence, and other data, obtained from 10 geobotanical descriptions in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv. The further actions were made with the data observed, and as a result, the graph of similarity was created. Nowadays the territories of cities expand, causing the enhanced tempo of urbanization and this study checks whether the forest is hugely affected or not. Some evaluations could set the pattern and help to estimate the influence on forestry in the very near future.

The aim of the study is to inventory the modern forest fund in Kyiv and observe data to determine the influence of the urbanization on forest in the future.

Materials and methods. Among of the methods for the observation were used geobotanical descriptions, monitoring and various computing methods, including the sorting, creating plots to make evaluations, GPS fixation, and the programme to create a map for the more thorough description of quadrants.

Results. The vegetation in the analyzed areas is very diverse, with 68 species identified. Among the dominant species, Quercus robur was found in the tree layer, and Molinia caerulea along with Convallaria majalis in the herbaceous layer. The Betula pendula and Quercus robur formations have the highest species diversity, with 24 species each. The vegetation classes Querco-Fagetea and Vacinio-Piceateae were analyzed.

Conclusions. The forest, in which the research was conducted, is mildly affected by urbanization. This inference may be made by the common species on this latitude, based on the previous researches
