In many regions of Russian Federatio, the objects of landscape heritage are in poor condition. They were created between the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It was the period when landscape park constructions became widespread in Europe and Russia after establishing active trade and industry relations with East Asian countries, such as China. The research includes analysis of Chinese techniques and methods, which emerged in Russian objects of landscaping art, particularly in estate gardens and parks of the Volga region. The main criteria and flora used in “green” architecture in the territories of the landscape heritage objects of Saratov Volga region are discovered. The assessment of the range of greenery introduced from China and of the elements of the park architecture is given.

The aim of the research was to study the state and productivity of Quercus robur L. when mixed with associated species - Fraxinus lanceolata L. and Acer platanoides L. in the forest band system and in forest bands reinforced with grooves for additional moisture accumulation. The investigations were carried out in the agro-forest landscapes of the steppes of the Volga Upland on the southern chernozem heavy loam with a humus content of 4.5%. In many respects, the productivity of Qvercus robur L. in forest belts depends on the applied mixing scheme, the selection of the accompanying rock, and the timely agrotechnical and silvicultural care in the created forest belts. In recent decades, silvicultural care (harvesting, sanitary, and reforestory cutting) is practically not carried out due to the changed economic situation in forestry and forest melioration in Russia. Therefore, the state and productivity of forest belts with Qvercus robur L. largely depends on the choice of the accompanying tree species that will grow in the forest belt along with Qvercus robur L. Optimal matching schemes for mixing Qvercus robur L. with associated tree species allow for maximum productivity and durability of the forest belt. Studies have shown that when mixing Qvercus robur L. and Acer platanoides L. growth Qvercus robur L. in height and diameter, respectively, by 5% and 14% greater than the growth of Qvercus robur L. when mixed with Fraxinus lanceolata L. Val ditch in the forest band, absorbing additional moisture, contributes to an increase in the intensity of growth of Qvercus robur L. by 10-12%.
