The lack of maintenance in post-agrogenic lands leads to the deterioration of plantations with fruit-bearing plants and accelerates the processes of reforestation, transformation into meadow, and ruderalization of plant communities in fallow fields and wastelands. The research aims at examining the vegetation cover of the Lukashov Nursery Nature Park (a specially protected natural area) and analyzing changes in the vital state of tree stands in orchard plantations and forest communities following the area’s agricultural use, thereby developing effective measures to mitigate anthropogenic risks. The vitality of plantations was determined using the relative vitality index. The coordinates of the trees and shrubs in the nature park were mapped using a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver. The tree stands have been shown to be primarily in a weakened state. The biological diversity of the tree population increases due to the introduction of native and invasive tree species. The park covers a total area of 163.943 ha, out of which vegetation occupies 153.785 ha. A comparative analysis revealed that the area of orchards had decreased by 1.6 times compared to 1993, while the area of shrub plantations had decreased by 3.2 times. The area of forest strips and secondary forests has increased by 1.6 times. The landscape area is classified as orchard and park-like, with natural and anthropogenic (modified) landscapes accounting for 70 % of the total area, and semi-natural (slightly modified) landscapes accounting for 23.8 %. Areas affected by human activity and industrial development are located on the edges of the park and account for 6.2 %. Most of the park’s area is covered by a forest, dominated by tree and shrub vegetation (60.7 %), while meadow and shrub communities account for 33.0 %. Fruit-bearing plantations and natural vegetation are in a weakened state, with a vitality index ranging from 59.57 to 78.09 %, except for secondary aspen forests (81.39 %) and sparse forest plantations among meadow and shrub vegetation (82.46 %). Weakened willow sparse woods (32.14 %) have formed within the meadow and shrub vegetation. The research results are applicable for regional management and planning.
Funding: The research was financially supported by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education through the state assignment for the Institute of Water and Ecology Problems FEB RAS (Project No. 121021500060–4).
