Potapenko O. Assessment of electrical substations territories as centers of biological diversity

In the study electrical substations phytocoenonical diversity of floristic complexes was for the first time estimated. The investigation of anthropic assessment on vegetative diversity of electrical substations was carried out. Electrical substations were considered as centers of conservation and spread of biological diversity in the conditions of the anthropic transformed landscapes of steppe Dnieper. The methodological approaches for environmental impact assessment of industrial objects are improved in the dissertation. Principles of industrial botany and island ecology were further developed. As a result of the work the methodology of ecological estimation of the electric substations territories as centers of biological diversity was developed. The practical result of the work is also an approach to the estimation of land renewal according to the researches of plant communities. A promising is to include electric substations with the most significant biological diversity to the ecological network.
