Description
Summary:— An approach is proposed for assessing ecosystem services of landscape’s various components in urban forest parks. The methodology takes into account the environmental and recreational functions of the territory and is based on the interconnection of ecosystem services, ecological functions, and the properties of individual components of the landscape. The assessment is carried out in a differentiated way making provision for the decrease in the quality of the services provided in conditions of significant anthropogenic load. It is shown that the greatest contribution to the cost of services is made by the soil.
