Abstract

Within this research we describe the formation of a network of artificial parks in the Dnister basin. This process took place over three stages: 1) XVII century - 1917; 2) 1918-1990; 3) 1991 - until today. An intensive development was observed in the XVIII (about 20 objects) and XIX (about 30 objects) centuries. The twentieth century was marked by the massive conservation and the refinement of the reserve status for previously created parks, in particular, the peak of conservation activity occurred in the 60-80s. The modern network of artificial reserve parks is represented by 128 objects, including 7 botanical gardens, 18 arboretums, 100 parks-monuments of landscape art, and 3 zoos. Together they occupy an area of 3,315.0 ha. Lviv and Khmelnytskyi regions feature the highest categorical (four categories) and object (57 and 23 parks respectively) representativeness. The level of categorical, object and administrative-territorial representativeness, as well as the quantitative and qualitative species composition of localized protected dendroexosozofloras of natural geographical regions of the Dnister basin reflects the degree of development of the basin network of artificial reserve parks. According to these indicators, the networks of artificial reserve parks in the zone of deciduous forests and forest-steppe of Ukraine are optimally formed.

Keywords: history of parkland conservation, artificial reserve objects, natural and geographical regions.
