Lisova N. Ecological state and conservation of the plant cover of the territories of natural reserves (Opilly-Kremenets region)

The thesis is devoted to the study of the modern state of the plant cover of the "Kremenetsky Gory" Branch of the "Medobory" Natural Reserve and of the Golytsky Botanical State Reserve. Historical and Ecological conditions of the formation of the flora of the studied territories were characterized. It has been found that the flora of the "Kremenetsky Gory" Branch includes 825 species, whereas the flora of the Golytsky reserve includes 285 species. Ecological and cenotic analysis of vascular plants was carried out. The groups of plants were distinguished in terms of their relation to ecological factors, and also in terms of their biomorphological features. The phytocenotic structure of the plant cover of the studied territories was investigated. A total of 37 rare species of plants included in the Red Book of Ukraine was found in the "Kremenetsky Gory" Branch and 23 their species - in the Golytsky reserve. Rare species for the region were revealed. Anthropic factors influencing the plant cover of the studied territories were determined. Recommendations on the plant cover conservation were elaborated. The advisability of the formation of the Kremenetsky-Opillsky regional ecological corridor as the component of the National Ecological Net was justified.
