The article is devoted to the assessment state of the ontogenetic structure of some rare species of the Caryophyllaceae Juss. (Acanthophyllum cyrtostegium Vved. and Silene tomentella Schischk.), listed in the Red book of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In different ecological conditions and plant communities in the Kyzylkum desert, the studied coenopopulations are normal, but incomplete. In most cases, yang grows is absent, which indicates an irregular renewal and elimination of young individuals due to lack of soil moisture, which is often observed in desert conditions. The ontogenetic spectra of investigated coenopopulations are centered and it coincides with the theoretically established spectrum. This, in general, reflects the biological characteristics of the studied species and indicates a stable state of the examined coenopopulations.

Data on the ontogenetic structure of natural cenopopulations of the rare species Astragalus henningii (Stev.)Klok. on the territory of the Samara steppe Trans-Volga region are presented. Ontogenetic spectra have been determinedfor 35 cenopopulations on the territory of natural monuments of regional significance in the Samara region (Koshkinskaya Balka, Balka Kladovaya, Kostinskye loga, Gryzly, Mulin dol). The basic ontogenetic spectrum of cenopopulationsis one-vertex right-modal, the absolute maximum in it is represented by old generative individuals (35.7 %). The ontogeny of the species is at least 20 years, the longest in terms of time are the mature generative – 6–9 years and the old generative – 5–8 years.

In the flora of Gubinsko-Troekurovskie heights (Samara Region) the authors identified 467 species of vascular plants, including 26 rare species: Adonanthe vernalis , Astragalus zingeri , Bupleurum falcatum , Catabrosella humilis , Clausia aprica , Cotoneaster laxiflorus , Crataegus volgensis , Ephedra distachya , Ferula caspica , Fritillaria ruthenica , Galatella angustissima , Gentiana cruciata , Hedysarum grandifolium , Iris aphylla , Iris pseudacorus , Iris pumila , Jurinea ledebourii , Jurinea multiflora , Koeleria sclerophylla , Linum perenne , Polygala sibirica , Pulsatilla patens , Scabiosa isetensis , Stipa korshinskyi , Stipa pennata , Thymus zheguliensis . Bunchgrass real steppes with the domination of Stipa capillata and Cleistogenes squarrosa develop on flatter areas. Bunchgrass real steppes with domination of Stipa pennata , Stipa lessingiana and Helictotrichon desertorum are also formed on the gentle slopes (angle less than 30). Calciphyte legumes real steppes with domination of Astragalus tenuifolius , mixed grass real steppes ( Potentilla glaucescens , Centaurea carbonata ) and semi-shrubs real steppe ( Ephedra distachya , Onosma volgensis , Thymus zheguliensis ) develop on steep slopes (angle more than 30). Strong erosion steep slopes often contribute to the preservation and maintenance of the populations of many rare species for the Samara Region.

The article deals with the issues of localization and landscape preference of Pyatigorye’s phytocenoses ofthe upland steppes. The syntaxonomic composition of the steppe communities on the studied territory, as well as the typesof the floristic core, are indicated. It consists of graminoids, mesothermal perennials of long vegetation, caudex herbs ofan ephemeroid type of development, and bulbous geophytes. The features of communities, the reasons for their spatialdifferentiation are revealed. The distribution of species by relief elements and communities was determined expertlyon the basis of field studies (2018–2021). It was concluded that the main factors determining the diversity of uplandsteppe vegetation in the studied region are the nature of the destruction of the parent rock and soil development, the levelof insolation and ecotope moisture. The steppe communities of Pyatigorye on carbonate underdeveloped thin skeletalchernozems are distinguished by their species richness. In most of them, Stipa pulcherrima plays a high phytocenotic role,as well as other sod and dense bush grasses. Species of the “southern” steppe and Caucasian forbs, incl. petrophytes playsignificant role. The communities include rare species in the region: Astragalus brachycarpus, Dictamnus gymnostylis,Leopoldia tenuiflora, Paeonia tenuifolia, Iris pumila, I. aphylla, Orchis tridentata, Asphodeline taurica, Lamyra echinocephala,Linum tauricum, Onosma caucasica, Cerasus incana, Cephalaria coriacea. The studied representative communities areimportant for the conservation of the biological diversity of the region. Habitats of rare species are of scientific importanceand are of nature conservation interest.

The condition of cenopopulations of four rare species ( Artemisia salsoloides , Hedysarum grandiflorum , Oxytropis floribunda , Stipa korshinskyi ) in the petrophytic steppes of the High Zavolzh'yе (High Transvolga, Samara region) was studied on the basis of the regularities of their spatial and ontogenetic structure. The data were processed using the software package R, which allows us to perform calculations of spatial statistics. Thus, stationarity, isotropy, and intensity of plant objects location were evaluated. The mosaic distribution of individuals of all species recorded within the boundaries of the study area was characterized. Using local density maps, the sparseness of individuals on the outskirts of the model site, caused by cattle grazing, was revealed. The behavior of the Ripley's function showed an independent distribution of species as a consequence of weak interspecies competition. The spatial pattern and age spectrum of the studied rare protected dominant species were analyzed. The absence of seedlings and senile plants due to exposure to unfavorable factors of exogenous nature was noted. The im-v and g states were the most numerous. In accordance with the behavior of the K(r) function, the random placement of the four predominant species was revealed, indicating their optimal location within the study area. Patterns of mutual placement of pregenerative and generative individuals of Artemisia salsoloides, Hedysarum grandiflorum, and Oxytropis floribunda were studied. Calculation of the Ripley's cross-function showed that individuals of different age groups of the described species are located independently from each other, demonstrating the absence of intraspecific competition. Undoubtedly, the spatial distribution of individuals of the plant species composing the phytocenosis is influenced both by grazing and by the features of the soil cover of the site, which is manifested by significant elimination of plants at the initial stages of ontogenesis. Nevertheless, the cenopopulations of rare species are stable, mature and promising, and the individuals are distributed in an optimal way that minimizes energy costs.

AbstractThe features of the ontogenetic structure of cenopopulations of a rare species Hedysarum gmelinii Ledeb. (Fabaceae) were studied on the periphery of its range (the Middle Volga region and the Bashkir Cis-Urals) and in its central part (the Altai Mountains region). Types of cenopopulations were determined according to the “delta-omega” criterion: in the Bashkir Urals, they were mostly young, in the Middle Volga region, they were mature, in the Altai Mountains, they were maturing. The proportion of pregenerative individuals in populations increases in habitats with high moisture levels. Anthropogenic load (mainly in the form of grazing) had a greater effect on the number and density of individuals, rather than on the type of ontogenetic spectrum of cenopopulations.

<p>The decline in the global biodiversity and the increase in the number of threatened plant species are the extremely unfavorable trends over the past decades. These phenomena determined the need for the thorough and detailed study of the plant population resistance mechanisms, and the development of the methods to predict the risks of their extinction. In the recent years, simultaneous assessment of the ontogenetic and the vital structure of the populations has become the most recognized method of studying populations. This approach has provided a significant increase in the reliability assessment of the population status and led to improved predictions of their dynamics. However, there are a limited number of the papers containing the complex demographic analysis, including the field size of the population, the number of individuals in the population, the population density, as well as genetic, ontogenetic, and vital structure of the populations with their dynamics. The purpose of this work was to determine the current state and to predict the possible trends in the status of seven rare plant species’ populations located on the territory of the National Nature Park “Desnyansko-Starogutsky” (Sumy province, Ukraine). Rare plants <em>Epipactis helleborine</em> (L.) Crantz, <em>Lilium martogon</em> L., <em>Listera ovata</em> (L.) R. Br., <em>Platanthera chlorantha</em> (Cust.) Rchb., and <em>Pulsatilla patens</em> (L.) Mill. are the species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Plant species <em>Circaea alpina</em> L. and <em>Pyrola chlorantha</em> Sw. are designated as the rare species on the territory of Sumy region. Integral estimation of the population status has based on the determination of such parameters as population size, population density, the ontogenetic index, and the index of the population vitality. Correlation analysis revealed a high level of correlation (r = 0. 99) not between everyone, but between some of the population parameters only. In our study, the indices that characterize the ontogenetic structure of the populations were the most frequently correlated: renewal index, generative index, as well as indexes of the population age (Δ) and the effectiveness of the population (ω). The regression analysis revealed that the long-term monitoring of the rare plant populations will be an integral character in the case of accounting for such factors as the population size and density dynamics over the years, changes in the population vitality (Q), and the annual changes of the magnitude of ω, which integrates the ontogenetic structure of the populations. It has been established that the populations of <em>L</em><em>.</em><em> martagon</em> from the phytocenoses of <em>Pinetum coryloso-maіanthemosum</em> and <em>Fraxinetum coryloso-convallariosum</em> were stable enough together with the progressive development trend. The populations of the rare species <em>C</em><em>.</em><em> alpina</em>, <em>L</em><em>.</em><em> martagon</em> (habitat between <em>Betuleta corylosa</em> and <em>Pineta corylosa-convallariosum</em>), and <em>P</em><em>.</em><em> patens</em> were estimated as the sustainable. A clear tendency toward a decrease in the individuals’ number was found in rare species represented by only one population (<em>L. ovata</em>, <em>P. chlorantha</em>, and <em>Pl. chlorantha</em>), as well as in one of the several populations of the species <em>C</em><em>.</em><em> alpina</em><em> </em>and <em>E. helleborine</em>. It was confirmed, that the dynamics of the rare plant populations is influenced not only by the internal population processes. The external ecological and coenotic factors, including the ones of a catastrophic nature, which are associated with the succession processes, as well as the level of wildlife conservation in the natural areas of Ukraine can be of decisive importance.</p>
