Abstract
Objective quantitative indicators for the fragmentation of suburban woodlands based on high-resolution remote sensing, ground verification, and methods of GIS analysis have been developed. The density of trails in the territory and the extent of their influence depending on the intensity of use are estimated. The methodical approaches are tested by the example of the large woodland in Akademgorodok of the city of Novosibirsk.
