Abstract

The stability and durability of green spaces in urban environments are influenced by abiotic factors, recreational load, and the impact of vehicles. The dendroflora of parks and squares affects the improvement of the ecosystem: improvement of the microclimate, interception of precipitation, decrease in air temperature, removal of atmospheric pollution, psychological well-being of a person, diversity of insects and birds [1,2,3]. In this regard, the problem of preserving urban tree plantations is relevant, which requires a timely analysis of their condition [4,5,6]. Woody plants can be used as bioindicators of pollution [7,8]. With timely monitoring of the state of plantings, it is possible to identify weakened ones that have lost their decorative effect and replace them [9]. The use of modern technologies in landscaping and its monitoring is effective, for example: GIS technologies and satellite imagery. We used them in our research.
