Abstract
The research is devoted to the study of the soil and plant complex of the monument of landscape architecture of the XVIII century – the park «Dubki» in St. Petersburg, located on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland in the Resort area of St. Petersburg, in the city of Sestroretsk. The park was created on the initiative of Emperor Peter the Great, who, during his return from the Battle of Gangut, made a stop among an oak grove on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. Currently, the park is recognized as a monument of cultural and historical heritage, protected by UNESCO. In the summer of 2021, the morphology of the soil, the species diversity of coniferous, deciduous species and shrubs were studied at the facility. The morphology of the soil was studied by 2 soil sections laid down in various forest growing conditions. The species composition of park plantings was determined by the plant determinant [Kiseleva et al., 2020], using morphological features of leaves and bark. With the use of the RGIS and AutoCAD software complexes, the areas of the park's land under vegetation, under paths, artificial reservoirs, sports grounds, etc. are calculated. Based on the results of the research, recommendations are given for maintaining the balance and sustainable development of the soil and plant complex and information on the development of the land cadastre of the park.
