Certification as a Means of Monitoring of the Most Valuable Arboreal Plants and Shrubs
We have not found any information that would allow us to systematize the data about the dynamic changes of vital states of arboreal plants and shrubs during the analysis of scientific and technical documentation. This is essential for timely economic measures aimed at plants viability preservation and green plantations efficiency. The purpose of the study was the development of a technical document (certificate) that would allow identifying the changes of the most valuable specimen of arboreal plants and shrubs, comprehensively assessing their vital state, recording and analyzing the obtained information in the framework of bioecological monitoring. At the moment there is no single register of valuable plants in Vologda region, which is necessary to preserve not only old-aged trees, but also historically valuable plantings. Certification will allow creating a united descriptive document which will make it possible to increase the level of preservation of trees and shrubs, well-timed plan and carry out the carry measures. A complete inventory of tree and shrub vegetation of the Ilyinsky Pogost territory (Tsypino village) was carried out as a part of the complex study. Green plantings health status is estimated as weak and debris-strewn, however, the decorative value of these plantations is high enough. A certificate for valuable tree and shrub vegetation was developed during the analysis of a set of technical documents. The first part of this document includes description and characteristics of the plant under study. The second part displays care measures assigned during the plant inspection and information on the monitoring observations. 30 trees were chosen in the study. There are old allay cropping and single plantings. All of them were certified.
