THE CONDITION OF AESCULUS HIPPOCASTANUM L. TREES IN THE AVENUES OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY OF OBRENOVAC

Abstract

In urban areas treelined paths are the most vulnerable element. According expected functions treelined paths in certain street are unsatisfactory with their appearance and general condition. These are primarily biological, ecological, sociological and aesthetic functions. Because of negative anthropogenic influences trees are with low level condition, very low functionality and the unsatisfactory state of health. Most of the trees exist in very difficult circumstances of streets, there are crowded in the underground and in the aboveground part. In such circumstances, just as individual specimens of trees grow into individuals who manifest themselves in terms of morphology characteristics which are representative of its species. In this paper is presented the state of the avenue of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) in two central streets of the old part of Obrenovca. The data were analyzed on the basis of the reviewed every tree and with the particular assessing the state of the crown and the state of the trunk. Based on the analysis of the results measures are proposed for the rehabilitation of individual trees as well as measures for the reconstruction of the entire tree line.

U sistemu gradskog zelenila drvoredi su najugroženiji element. Drvoredi pojedinih ulica kod nas svojim izgledom i opštom kondicijom ne zadovoljavaju očekivane funkcije. To su u prvom redu biološke, ekološke, sociološke i estetske funkcije. Pod negativnim antropogenim uticajima stabla su niskog stepena kondicije, vrlo niske funkcionalnosti i nezadovoljavajućeg zdravstvenog stanja. Većina stabla egzistira u vrlo teškim uslovima ulice, stešnjena su i u podzemnom i u nadzemnom delu. U takvim okolnostima samo pojedinačni primerci izrastu u individue koje u morfološkom smislu manifestuju reprezentativne osobine svoje vrste. U radu je prikazano stanje drvoreda divljeg kestena (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) u dve centralne ulice starog dela Obrenovca. Analizirani su podaci na osnovu pregledanog svakog stabla posebno ocenjivanjem stanja krune i stanja debla. Na osnovu anlize rezultata predložene su mere za sanaciju pojedinih stabala kao i mere za rekonstrukciju celokupnog drvoreda.
