The indicative role of the grass tier in soil-ecological research in the condition of caring for the green areas of Moscow (case study of the MSU territory)
Abstract
The features of the ground cover in connection with the use of care in typical urban plantings in Moscow are determined. The character of plantings care determines the main features of ground cover more than the type of tree species. As a result of planting care, nemoral shade-tolerant species in the grass layer are actively replaced by meadow nitrophilic and ruderal species belonging to annuals and turf grasses, which contributes to an increase the biological cycle intensity. In urban ecosystems, the indicative role of plants in relation to soil properties is reduced due to the lack of direct long-term relationships between these components.
