Tilia cordata Mill. is considered to be the main tree species resistant to urban conditions and it is widely used in the greening of cities. The aim of the study is to assess the patterns of growth and development of small-leaved linden plantations in the urban environment. The research is based on the method of sample areas where continuous enumeration survey has been carried out. The study of urban greening objects was conducted using the methods of landscape assessment and complete enumeration of trees in alley plantings. It was found that Tilia cordata Mill. grows in all districts and zones of the city of Ufa, occupying 34.4% of green areas. During this research it was found that artificially created alley plantings of Tilia cordata Mill. are more well-kept and have well-developed crowns which create a tree shade sometimes 8-10 meters wide (the average crown projection being 7 m). Since alley plantings have repeatedly been pruned, trees in this area are characterized by a large increase in diameter and strong height growth stagnation. Thus, when studying linden plantings of the same age, a sharp difference in the size and shape of trees was observed.

The article presents the results of an assessment of the recreational potential of the territory adjacent to the Talkas lake in the Baymak district. To calculate the recreational potential, the method of S. L. Rysin was used, which provides for a separate assessment of the forest area by 25 indicators combined into three main groups: the attractiveness of the forest, its comfort for vacationers and resistance to recreational impact. The structure of the recreational potential of the studied area is studied, and the forest stands are evaluated. The calculated coefficients are in the range from 0.55 to 0.63, so the territories according to the coefficient of recreational value belong to class III out of five possible and their recreational use is possible only with certain restrictions. Functional zoning of the territory was carried out.
