The protection of plantings is one of the fundamental principles of caring for Moscow’s green fund. The city has enshrined this provision in the law on the protection of the green fund. Owners and users of land plots on which trees and shrubs are located are obliged to monitor their condition and ensure normal development. Specialists from the capital’s Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection explained how to determine that a tree is feeling well.
“A healthy tree has thick green foliage of normal size, it has a well-developed crown, no signs of disease, pest damage, and no mechanical damage. The condition of such a tree is assessed as good,” noted Elena Gavrilenko, dendrologist, chief expert on urban ecosystems of the State Budgetary Institution “MosEcoMonitoring” of the Department of Nature Management of Moscow.
Long-term observations show that the capital’s green spaces are stable and adapt well to the city’s growing conditions. Linden, Norway maple and birch are often used for city greening.
Meanwhile, the presence of some shortcomings in trees is allowed. “The foliage is lighter than usual, the crown is weakly open, the presence of individual dry branches nevertheless allow the tree to continue to grow and develop. In this case, the condition of the plant is assessed as satisfactory,” Elena Gavrilenko specified.
Experts monitor the condition of green spaces in Moscow every year. Trees are examined at 130 permanent observation sites, including in the territory of TiNAO. They are located in different types of green areas with different anthropogenic loads, which allows for a general description to be obtained through selective surveys.
Based on the information received, recommendations are given to tenants or owners of green fund territories on timely implementation of protective and security measures. In particular, to improve the health of trees, sanitary pruning of the crown, removal of damaged branches, strengthening of trunks and treatment against insects are required.
