Phytoremediation potential of green spaces in the city

Introduction. The deviation from average temperatures is currently 1.5 °C. If climate change continues, and due to anthropogenic influence, air temperature rises to 3–4 °C, then abnormally high heat waves will occur almost every year, bringing with them intense slow-moving rains. A review of more th...

description Introduction. The deviation from average temperatures is currently 1.5 °C. If climate change continues, and due to anthropogenic influence, air temperature rises to 3–4 °C, then abnormally high heat waves will occur almost every year, bringing with them intense slow-moving rains. A review of more than 15 global programmes to implement green infrastructure in cities from the inception of this term in the 1970s and up to the present has been carried out. All of them have common long-term goals that coincide with the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.Materials and methods. The authors continue their detailed study of the intersection of Leninsky Prospekt and Lobachevsky and Obruchev streets in Moscow. The cadastral unsettledness of the research area and the creation of the specially protected area “Landscape Reserve “Forest on the Samorodinka River” in 2020 create additional opportunities for the collection of stormwater and implementation of phytoremediation technologies.Results. The authors carried out an analysis of the state of protected areas adjacent to the research area, noted plants that are endangered and listed in the Red Book. The approximate list of plants for use in phytoremediation facilities is given.Conclusions. It is necessary to use green areas in the city to reveal phytoremediation potential. Properly selected plants that are sustainable in the urban environment will help to improve the existing natural resource, increase the recognizability of the urban environment and add new socio-cultural scenarios for residents to permanent use.
