Khrabra S. Wild medicinal plants of Ternopil region (ecological-phytocenotic species, resources and rational utilization)

The thesis is devoted to the study of the present state of the main species of wild medicinal plants of Ternopil geobotanical region and their resources. During the researches we have defined the causes of decrease of the species areas and the measures on their conservation. Biological stocks for exploitation and the volume of annuary stocks were determined. The recommendation on rational utilization of the resources and rare and endangeous species of medicinal plants were developed. The maps of rare medicinal plants distribution were formed. The scheme of perspective medicinal plants for raw material stock was made. The specification of species content of medicinal plants and the influence of different features on the harvest were defined. It was made the co relational analyze of the species compatibility of medicinal plants according to the types of soils. Among them 20 species are perspective raw material stocks. The stock of 8 species are small (permissible volume for plants collection is 700-2000kg of dried mass). The stocks of 6 species are 100-400 kg of dried mass. Three species, the stock of which is only some dozens kg, is impossible because of small amount and area of distribution. 20 species of wild medicinal plants are rare, endogens and grow isolated, that’s why they need protection. Phonological observations of 29 species of wild medicinal plants gave the opportunity to work out three stages of regularity of stocking up the medicinal raw for every administrative region according to climate features of Ternopil district. For saving wild medicinal plants introductional researches are held on the territory of agrobiolaboratories of Ternopil National Pedagogical University, where the chemist’s gardens grow.
