Assessment of the recreational effect in urban areas with water sources and species of the genus SALIX

The purpose of the research is to establish the recreational effect of willow planting in the Volsk city park of the Saratov region under the influence of various water sources. The article establishes the recreational effects of willow plantings in the Volsk city Park of the Saratov region under the influence of various water sources. The research methodology was based on full-scale and visual methods of environmental analysis. The mathematical model of O.B. Sokolskaya was used to determine the recreational effect of lighting and time, followed by its improvement and saturation of data by parameters: the structure of green spaces on the banks and near reservoirs, the dynamism of water bodies, the shading of the surface by plant objects (including aquatic ones). It was determined that the recreational effect depends on the height of the coastal vegetation, its proximity to the water, the height of the sun (i.e., the hour of the day) and the duration of the inspection. It was revealed that coastal green spaces and their shadows significantly affect the overall attractiveness of landscape objects with water spaces. It was found that the studied “Stream Zone” has a greater shade by 1.5 times, and the dynamism of streams increases at the borders of streams and ponds. The “pond zone” has a predominant recreational effect over the rest of the studied territories. The most significant extended recreational effect is owned by the “Stream Zone” – 1.2, which is 1.3-2.7 times higher than the RE of other territories. Willow crops of the genus Salix have a number of advantages over other green spaces.
