The paper presents the results of an ecological assessment of Petasites spurius habitats in the southern taigasubzone of Kirov oblast. Indicators of potential ecological valence indicate a low degree of lability of species individuals,which is manifested in the predominance of stenovalent and hemistenovalent fractions. Their distribution is limited by verydry and damp, poor and saline soils, low illumination. The studied P. spurius cenopopulations differ in the level of soilmoisture and salt regime, which is associated with the degree of their distance from the water line. In general, individuals of P.spurius quite fully realize their ecological potential, however, in cenopopulation 1 they are realized the least. This is due to itslocation, high level of moistening, surface occurrence of water table and constant leaching of mineral salts from the substrate.

Lontra Longicaudis

A genetic study of the neotropical river otter Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818), which has an unknown conservation status, was carried out at the Taim Ecological Station and the margins of the Vargas stream, Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Faecal samples were collected, and DNA was extracted using a silica-guanidine method. Five microsatellite loci were amplified using PCR with heterologous primers previously described for Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758). Sixteen faecal samples out of 29 from Taim and 11 out of 14 from Vargas stream margins contained enough DNA for genetic analysis. A total of 49 different alleles were found at both localities, from which 18 were exclusively found in individuals from Taim and 17 were exclusives from Vargas individuals. The most common allele was the same at both locations for three loci (Lut715, Lut733, and Lut818). A high level of genetic diversity was found at both sites (NeTaim=4.1, HoTaim=0.299, HeTaim=0.681; NeVargas=4.9, HoVargas=0.355, HeVargas=0.724), being higher at the Vargas stream site. A high and significant level of heterozygote deficiency was observed at most loci according to the χ2 test. The homogeneity χ2 test (P<0.001) showed that there were significant differences in the allele frequencies between the two locations. Genotyping for more than one locus was possible in 81.5% of samples, from which only 37% were possible to genotype for more than three loci. A low degree of relatedness was found among individuals from Taim (R=0.055±0.310), but an even lower value of relatedness was found at the Vargas site (R= -0.285±0.440). The significant degree of differentiation (I=0.890; F ST=0.059) found between Taim and Vargas individuals suggests that there is more than one population of otters in the southern extreme of Brazil, which probably are associated with the water body systems found in this region, the Mirim and the Caiuvá/Flores/Mangueira Lagoons. The high genetic diversity and low relatedness found at the Vargas stream, lead us to believe that the Vargas stream may be acting as a corridor between these water bodies for otter dispersion.

Well Waters

Difficulties of access to public water distribution sources in the suburbs of the sixth district of Cotonou create more resorts to the traditional water sources (wells). To assess the degree of chemical pollution of those waters, a study was conducted during the long rainy season of 2015 on thirty (30) traditional wells. Concentration of nitrogenous pollutants (nitrates and nitrites) was analyzed by cadmium reduction method and diazotization method, respectively. Micropollutants (lead and mercury) were respectively determined by the rapid extraction method of LeadTrak ™ column and by pre-concentration at cold vapor method. The results show that waters have a high level of nitrate and mercury pollution which are respectively 26.67%, (16.38 mg/l to 349.85 mg/l) and 13.33% (0.10 mg/l to 1.50 mg/l) and a low level of nitrite (0.02 mg/l to 2.63 mg/l) and lead (1 mg/l to 5mg/l). The Principal Component analysis helped to identify four groups (I-IV) of well waters: water with high degree of nitrogen pollution (NO3-) and high toxic metal and toxic metal (I: 20%); with low degree of nitrogen and toxic metal (II: 30%);water with high mineralization (III: 20%) and water rich in nitric pollutant (NO2-) (IV: 6.67%).The water pollution may be related to the low sanitation level and the improper conditions of well installation. Consumption of well waters may expose humans to health risks.

На основе баз данных лесорастительных материалов проанализированы таксационные показатели насаждений, произрастающих на территории карбонового научно-исследовательского по- лигона, расположенного в Уральском учебно-опытном лесхозе (УУОл) Уральского государственного лесотехнического университета (УГлТУ). Отмечается, что основными лесными формациями на поли- гоне являются сосняки и березняки. Доля насаждений с доминированием в составе древостоев других пород-лесообразователей невелика. Помимо сосны обыкновенной (Pinus sylvestris L.) и березы повислой (Betula pendula Roth.), другие виды произрастают, как правило, в примеси с указанными. Среди дре- востоев преобладают среднеполнотные спелые и перестойные насаждения. большинство древостоев характеризуется относительно высокими классами бонитета. Насаждения, произрастающие на террито- рии полигона, относятся к 13 типам леса, что свидетельствует о разнообразии лесорастительных усло- вий. В целом можно отметить, что видовое разнообразие древесных пород и лесорастительных условий на карбоновом научно-исследовательском полигоне УУОл УГлТУ обеспечивает возможность изучения широкого спектра вопросов депонирования углерода лесными экосистемами в условиях подзоны южной тайги Урала. The taxation indicators of plantations growing on the territory of the carbonic research polygon located in the Ural educational experimental forest enterorize (UEEF) of the Ural State Forest Engineering University were analyzed on the base of the forestry materials database. It is noted that the main forest formations on the polygons are pine and birch forest stands. The share of stands with other species of forest formers dominating in composition of forest stands is small. In addition to scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.), other species usually grow in admixtures with the specified. Among the stands mature and over mature stands of average density prevails. Most of the stands are characterized by relatively high bonitet classes. Plantations growing on the territory of the polygon belong to 13 types of forest, which indicates a variety of forest growing conditions. In general, it can be noted that the species diversity of tree species and forest growing conditions at the carboniferous research sity (UEEF) provides an opportunity to study a wide range of problems of carbon deposing forest ecosystems in conditions of the Southern Taiga subzone in the Urals.

A detailed analysis of river flow long-term changes in the Southern taiga subzone of Western Siberia has been carried out with the Chaya River basin as an example. Causal statistical analysis of changes in groundwater levels, bog water level, air temperature and atmospheric precipitation has been performed. The conducted studies revealed a statistically significant trend in the increase of surface runoff in the winter low flow of the Chaya River and its large tributaries (the Iksa and the Parbig), as well as the underground runoff component for virtually the entire year. An ambiguous regularity has been observed in the change of the level regime of rivers. The main reason for the observed changes in the water regime of the said territory is the redistribution of atmospheric moisture and shifting of the boundaries of hydrological seasons.

The paper analyzes plant communities with Cantharellus cibarius Fr. in southern taiga and sub-taiga forests in the Kirov Region. Golden chanterelle occurs mostly in pure pine forests and pine forests mixed with spruce and birch of green-moss, lichen and cowberry types in young to maturing stands; the crown density is low or medium. Species richness of herbaceous-shrub storey in the studied communities varied from 5 to 29. The ecological preferences of C. cibarius, defined with Ellenberg (1974) scales, allow to characterize the species in the following way: temperate climate species, shade-resistant, rarely found in conditions of total shading; mesophyte regarding soil humidity, prefers acidic soils with low nitrogen, but, as an exception, marked on neutral soils rich in nitrogen. The differences in the species ecological preferences in conditions of southern taiga and sub-taiga are insignificant. The hemeroby index varied from 0,05 to 0,33 for the studied communities. The average share of species tolerant to human impact was 13,23%, and the share of anthropophobic species 86,77%. These data characterise C. cibarius as the species capable of tolerating moderate human impact in southern taiga subzone, but being less tolerant to human impact in sub-taiga areas and coniferous-broadleaved forests.
