Abstract
The improvement of urban territories is one of the most pressing tasks of modern urban planning, aimed at creating a comfortable, functional, and environmentally friendly environment for residents. A key element in the creation of such a space is green plantings, which serve not only an aesthetic but also a sanitary and hygienic function, significantly enhancing the quality of life in urban conditions. The purpose of this study was a detailed analysis of the condition of tree and shrub plantings on part of the central boulevard in the city of Zvenigovo (Republic of Mari El) to develop scientifically justified measures for its subsequent improvement. The subject of the study was the boulevard located near the city administration. The area is characterized by a rectangular shape, elongated from the northeast to the southwest, and a regular layout with a clearly defined grid of alleys and pedestrian paths. Field research to assess the condition of green plantings was conducted in July 2024 using a method of full counting of all existing woody and shrub plants. The research found that the green plantings consist mainly of young plantings of 14 species, with a total of 105 specimens. The species composition was distributed as follows: deciduous trees dominate (46%), followed by deciduous shrubs (39%), while coniferous plants are clearly in the minority (15%). The dendroflora is represented by species such as common horse chestnut (among trees) and sorbus aucuparia (among shrubs). The results of the visual assessment showed that the overwhelming majority of plants are in a severely weakened state. The main limiting factors contributing to this situation were identified as poor sandy soils and a systematic lack of regular watering. As part of the improvement project, it is recommended to carry out extensive work to replace the soil with a more nutrient-rich one, with an optimal content of clay particles, as well as to gradually replace the most weakened existing plantings with new, more resilient species adapted to local conditions.
