Recreation Transformation of the Oak Forests of Belarussian Polesye and its Indicators

A. P. Gusev, A. S. Sokolov
Pages: 297–304

Abstract

Resutls of the investigation of recreation transformation of oak forests of Belarussian Polesye are reported for oxalis and ashweed oak forests as examples. Indicators of recreation distortions are various characteristics of the forest synfolium (composition, density, dead-wood), underwood (composition, density), ground cover (species composition, projective cover, constancy of separate species). Complex indicators are the spectrum of vital forms and synanthropization indices. The changes in synanthropization of the oak forest flora over the gradient of recreation impact are considered.
