The features of urban ecosystem litters according to type of planting care
Abstract
The litter properties of Moscow State University urban stands with a different type of care, from lack of care to regular care, were studied using birch stands, lime stands and maple stands as examples. Simplification of the vertical structure as a result of care increases the open space inside the stands, changing the degree of shading and wind regime. For park stands, the special role in litter formation belongs to lateral wind transfer and care regularity, these factors influencing on litters pool and fraction composition. The use of stand care is accompanied by the withdrawal of from 50 to 90% of the stocks of litter, which leads to decreasing recirculation of organic matter and ash elements in urban ecosystems.
