Support of the flora of the spa therapeutic landscape

The developed method of supporting the growth and vitality of cultivated forest trees, ornamental shrubs, grassy areas and flora in spa parks, forest parks and spa forest stands consists in the application of ectomycorrhizal, or endomycorrhizal fungi, which can utilize a much larger volume of soil with the help of extramatrical hyphae than the root hairs of non-mycorrhizal plants alone. Resistance to phytopathogenic fungi is significantly reduced by a lack of moisture (during summer droughts). Therefore, the addition of biochar, natural polysaccharides based on carrageenan, alginate or xanthan, humic substances, peat and crushed bork (preferably disintegrated using hydrodynamic cavitation) and a porous inorganic carrier significantly contributes to the protection of the flora. In ongoing symbiosis between plants and added mycorrhizal fungi, there is mutual influence of nutrient exchange between the mycorrhizal fungus and the host plant, and these physiological processes are mainly manifested in nutrient cycling in ecosystems. The increased vitality of plants contributes to the creation of a pleasant, healthy environment in spa forests, forest parks and gardens.
