Abstract

The ecosystems of Kiev are constantly under the sufficient anthropogenic impact of functioning the megalopolis, which is significantly enhanced by the climate anomaly influence. The trend over the past decades, namely, a significant temperature increase in the summer months (July-August) combined with decreasing the precipitation, becomes the threat to urban ecosystems and has a destructive effect on them. These circumstances need to be taken into account in the planning of the urban development in order to protect and conserve urban ecosystems.
