Abstract
The scientific article examines the problems of a stable equilibrium state of natural systems on the territory of a specially protected area – the Curonian Spit National Park. The predominant type of anthropogenic influence on changes in natural complexes is tourism and recreational activity. In this regard, emphasis has been placed on studying the species composition of plants in the recreational zone along the boundaries of the specially protected territory, since this territory is one of the most vulnerable and unstable. To assess the degree of conservation of the natural environment in the selected key areas, plant communities have been determined; the type of forest in the vicinity of the village Lesnoye has been identified. Based on the monitoring data, a comparative analysis of Jaccard groupings has been carried out, where the percentage of participation has been identified. All studies to assess vitality, abundance, and plant cover have been carried out at the stage of generative maturity of plants – g2. The dominant tree species are Pinus sylvestris L., Pinus mugo Turra, which are introduced species. Taking into account the changing dynamics of the total share of recreational space in the national park in relation to the protected zone, the data obtained indicate a careful expansion of natural boundaries at the boundary of recreation and the ecological features of protected natural complexes. The load of the recreational zone meets the requirements for such areas. Carrying out regular geoecological studies allows us to scientifically state current information on the state of the tree, shrub and herbaceous layers. This approach is aimed at preserving the historical, cultural, natural complex formed as a result of long-term transformation along the entire length of the Curonian Spit.
