Increase of soil sealing in urban forest ecosystems under the influence of recreational loads as a leading factor in environmental problems

Unregulated recreation among other components of the anthropogenic press on the urbanized environment is currently the dominant component, and the increase in soil density has become a leading factor in environmental problems in forest and forest park landscapes. Considered results of the comparative ecological monitoring of forest-growing properties of the soil and changes in its biological activity in the system "soil-plant" in the 25-year period under unregulated recreation on the example of LOD RSA-MSHA named after K. A. Timiryazev are considered.
