Abstract
Abstract The study of the resource potential and sustainability of soils in the green areas of the city of Uralsk is necessary to determine further steps to preserve the green fund. The recreational load was studied on the territory of the Kirov Park., Zh. Moldagaliev, Isatai and Makhambet, as well as the embankment of the Chagan and Ural rivers. In soils, such characteristics as moisture content, density, water permeability, organic carbon and salinity were studied. Soil water permeability was studied by the tube method. The density of recreational soils in the city of Uralsk was studied by the cutting ring method. Additionally, studies were carried out on the buffer capacity, salinity and organic carbon of soils. These studies were carried out by conventional methods. The results of comparing data on water permeability, density, salinity and resource capacity show a tendency for their condition to deteriorate at sites experiencing a constant recreational load. The recreational load is especially critical in the territories of public gardens Zh. Moldagaliev, Isatai and Makhambet and the embankment of the Ural River in the area of the Stela memorial complex.
