Introduction. The article publishes and analyses the materials obtained during excavations of Scythian barrow 9 of the group Vodovod near the Glinoe village, Slobodzeysk district, on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The barrow was surrounded by a ring ditch and contained two burials of medieval nomads - the main one, the Scythian, and the secondary, the inlet one. Methods. The mound was excavated by the method of parallel trenches, leaving stratigraphic profiles. When analyzing the materials obtained, a comparatively typological method was applied. Analysis. The main burial was made in a catacomb of unusual construction. The entrance well of the catacomb was filled with stone slabs and boulders characterized with utmost accuracy of production. Despite this, in antiquity the burial was robbed three times: through the entrance well, through the roof of the funeral chamber and through the robbery mine, which went to the burial chamber from the north-eastern floor of the mound. The preserved grave goods are represented with a handmade pot, an iron knife, an iron needle and an awl, a lead finial, a stone slab, a burned pebble, a piece of mineral paint, a wooden kneader, a bronze horse harness and golden pendants. The stone slab was made very carefully, and the wooden kneader is the second such find in the North-West Black Sea region. Bronze items of horse harness have no analogues in the Scythian burial complexes of the North Black Sea region. The construction of barrow 9 of the group Vodovod dates back to the second half of the 5th century BC and is determined on the basis of gold pendants, which analogies are known only in the Malyy Chertomlyk barrow in the Lower Dnieper region. Results.The most important is the fact that the studied barrow was found in the microzone (near the Glinoe village of the Slobodzeya district), where at the moment not only the Scythian burial sites of the 5th - 2nd centuries BC are known, but also a settlement of that time. This testifies to the continual dwelling of the Scythians on the left bank of the Lower Dniester River during this period.

Oriental Spruce forests in Turkey have gained greater importance in forest management in recent years. Oriental Spruce is one of the most important species distributed in the north-eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey and Caucasia as a colchic element. It forms the main structure of the “forest landscape”, affecting the landscape character of the region's mountains regarding with its distributions and land use. In this proceeding, the visual landscape character of Oriental Spruce mountain forests was tried to be determined in selected areas of the north-eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. In this study, in order to determine visual character of mountain forest and assess the process of forest functional planning or landscape planning, some landscape areas were categorized by some criteria such as plant species composition, variety, colour, mass-void, edge, geomorphologic units, rocky, roadside, etc. in forest panoramas of the region. Conducting a participated approach to determine landscape character of forests and using slide show, the preferences were determined by semantic factors (naturalness, variety-complexity, unity, fascination, vividness, meaningfulness). As a result, the landscape character types of mountain forests were discussed, that is integrated to forest or landscape management regarding sustainability of forest visual resources as well as ecological and silvicultural characteristics. Santrauka Turkijos miškininkystėje pastaraisiais metais tampa reikšmingesni šalies kalnuose augantys kaukazinių eglių miškai. Kaukazinės eglės yra viena iš svarbiausių medžių rūšių, paplitusių Juodosios jūros šiaurės rytų regione, Turkijoje ir Kaukaze. Jos sudaro pagrindinę „miško kraštovaizdžio“ struktūrą, turinčią įtakos regioninių kalnų kraštovaizdžio savybėms. Straipsnyje bandoma aptarti vizualiąsias kaukazinių eglių miškų kraštovaizdžio savybes pasirinktame šiaurės rytų Juodosios jūros regione, Turkijoje. Studijos metu regiono miškų kraštovaizdžio panoramos buvo suskirstytos pagal tam tikrus kriterijus, pavyzdžiui, pagal augalų rūšių sudėtį, veisles, spalvas, masines tuštumas, kraštus, geomorfologinius vienetus, uolotumą, kelius ir kt. Taip skirstant siekta identifikuoti kalnų miškų vizualiąsias savybes ir įvertinti miškų funkcinius planus ar kraštovaizdžio planavimo procesą. Miškų kraštovaizdžio savybės buvo vertinamos tiesiogiai bei iš skaidrių, pirmumas apibrėžtas reikšminiais faktoriais, kaip antai: natūralumas, įvairovė, kompleksiškumas, vienovė, patrauklumas, išraiškingumas, prasmingumas. Aptarti būdingieji kalnų miškų kraštovaizdžio tipai, kurie gali būti taikomi tvarkant miškus ar kraštovaizdį tvarumo principu, išsaugant vizualiuosius miškų išteklius ir ekologines bei miškininkystei svarbias charakteristikas. Резюме Горным лесам восточной ели (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.) в Турции в последние годы уделяется особое внимание. Восточная ель – одна из наиболее важных разновидностей, распространенных в северовосточном черноморскомрегионе Турции и Кавказа как колхидский элемент. Ели формируют главную структуру лесного пейзажа, оказывающую воздействие на пейзажный характер гор области изза ее распределения и землепользования.В статье предпринята попытка рассмотреть визуальные свойства ландшафта горных лесов восточной ели в выбранном северовосточном черноморском регионе Турции. Во время наших исследований панорама лесноголандшафта региона была поделена на основании определенных критериев, например, по составу видов, сортов,цвета растений, массовых пустот, краев, геоморфологических единиц, горных пород, дорог и др. Такое делениебыло предпринято для идентифицирования визуальных свойств горных лесов и оценки функциональных плановлесов или процесса планирования ландшафта. Свойства лесного ландшафта оценивались непосредственно или жес использованием снимков. Преимущество отводилось таким ключевым факторам, как естественность, разнообразие, комплексность, единство, привлекательность, выразительность, значимость. В результате были выделеныхарактерные типы ландшафта горных лесов, которые могут применяться для целенаправленного ухода за лесамиили ландшафтом, сохраняя при этом визуальные ресурсы лесов, а также важные в экологическом и лесоводческом отношении характеристики.

Abstract In the article is analyzed own field data of the authors and scientific publications on the wintering of Anserinae in the Azov-Black Sea region of Ukraine in 1900–2017, but the main data was obtained in frame of international mid-winter counts (IWC) in 2005–2017. It was found that 9 species of Anserinae occur in this region during the different seasons of the year: Anser anser — nesting, wintering and migrating; Rufibrenta ruficollis, A. albifrons, A. erythropus, A. fabalis — migrating and wintering; Branta canadensis, Branta leucopsis, Branta bernicla, Chen caerulescens — vagrant or birds which flew away from captivity (zoo etc.). Eulabeia indica — is possible vagrant species. The most numerous wintering species is A. albifrons, common — Rufibrenta ruficollis, not numerous — Anser anser, the other species are not met annually and registered in a very small number. There was almost tenfold drop in number of wintering geese in the Azov-Black Sea region of Ukraine during the period of counts. The main reasons of such reducing of geese amount are the followwing: weather and climate conditions, changes in the forage acessibility, hunting and poaching pressure, poisoning as a result of deratization of agricultural lands, and from 2014 — the militarization of the Syvash area and stop of water supplying of Crimea through the North Crimean channell. It is likely that the factors mentioned above led to relocating of wintering areas of Anserinae, and resulted in decreasing of their amount in this region.

The spread of Christianity in the Northern Black Sea Region was a continuation of the vector of cultural expansion into this region, outlined in Antiquity and opposing the region’s stable geopolitical ties in the latitudinal direction, with the steppe world of the nomads of Eurasia. The stages of this process were: the Great Greek colonization on Pontus Euxinus; the spread of Pax Romana to the territory of Crimea; the Christianization of the region and the strengthening of Byzantium in the Northern Black Sea Region through an alliance with the Khazaria and the creation of the Klimata-Cherson thema; finally, the emergence of Italian trading posts and the emergence of Genoese Gazaria. The success of the Christian mission of Byzantium would not have been possible without the oncoming movement from the north, which determined the reception of the Byzantine civilization by Rus’-Russia and predefined the geopolitical contours of the modern world. In the opposite direction there was an advance to the south of Rus’ and the formation of the path “from the Varangians to the Greeks”, sea voyages of the Rus’ princes to Constantinople, the capture of Korsun’Cherson by Vladimir the Saint and the baptism of Rus’, the inclusion of Russia in the system of the Byzantine church administration. At the new historical stage, after the fall of Byzantium, the role of the Christian Orthodox empire passed to Russia, and the processes of intercivilizational interaction in the region changed their vector. But even in the new conditions, the meridional dimension remains incomparably more important than the latitudinal dimension: a fact that determines the future geopolitical perspective.
