Purpose. To estimate the ecological plasticity of common millet yield under conditions of Steppe, Forest-Steppe and Forest of Ukraine. Methods. Mathematical and statistical: determination of stability and plasticity by Eberhart & Russell method, correlation analysis. Results. As a result of correlation analysis of millet cultivated areas during the period of 2011–2020, it was revealed that cultivated areas in Ukraine depend on the world ones (r = 0.34). It was determined that a high level of common millet yield was obtained in the forest-steppe zone, namely in Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, Sumy and Kharkiv regions (2.20–2.51 t/ha). Quite high rates of yield were obtained in Vinnytsia, Kyiv (Forest-Steppe zone) and Kirovohrad (Steppe zone) regions (1.86–2.02 t/ha). Low yield over 10 years was noted in Rivne, Zhytomyr and Volyn regions, which belong to the Forrest zone (1.09–1.34 t/ha). It is shown that during 2011–2015 high variability of millet yield was observed in Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia and Volyn regions. The coefficient of variation was 42.0–71.3%. During 2016–2020 significant variation was noted in Donetsk, Volyn and Odesa regions. The coefficient of variation was 31.8–43.9%. In the period from 2016 to 2020, high plasticity of the yield trait was noted in Vinnitsa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Sumy and Khmelnitsky regions. During 2016–2020 high plasticity trait of millet yield was in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy and Poltava regions. Conclusions. According to the results of the studies, it was found that with a reduction in the area under millet in the world, the volume of its production in Ukraine increases. It was determined that the hig­hest yield of millet was obtained in the Forest-Steppe zone during the years of observation. According to the plasticity of millet yield, it was found that favorable conditions for realization of its biological potential were in Donetsk and Kirovohrad regions of Steppe zone, in Forest-Steppe zone of Vinnytsia, Poltava, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy and Sumy regions.

Halophytic vegetation is very rare in the forest-steppe zone. It was studied in the tract Serdobsky solonetsin the vicinity of Serdobsk (Serdobsky district, Penza region). The studies were conducted in the years 2009–2018, using the technique of geobotanical profiling. 80 trial areas were laid (35 in 2009 and 45 in 2008). Ecological and phytocenotic classification of plant communities is performed on the dominant principle. Comparison of two descriptions of vegetation with an interval of 10 years allows us to trace the transformation of halophytic vegetation after intensive anthropogenic impact (grazing and partial plowing) in different environmental conditions. The flora of Serdobsky solonets consists of 179 species of vascular plants, of which 13 species are included in the Red book of the Penza region (2013). The share of halophytic vegetation on the territory of Serdobsky solonetshas changed over 10 years: from 97.0 % to 63.8 %. Moreover, halophyte meadows occupied 67.0 % and halophyte steppes 30.0 % of the area in 2009. Now (2018) halophytic steppes make up 30.8 %, and halophytic meadows 33.0 %.The main stages of demutation of halophytic steppe and meadow vegetation were identified in various environmental conditions (meadows and steppes). The same stages of demutation were identified earlier for the South-Eastern Solonets (Neverskinsky district of the Penza region). However, a special stage of annual saline grasslands has been identified.This place requires protection due to the high level of floral and phytocenotic diversity. We offer to organize here a natural monument called “Serdobsky solonets”.

Abstract The studies of the pioneer vegetation of freshwater shorelines of water bodies are of particular interest owing to the specific ecology of these habitats and the short cycle for their development in which periods of flooding and subsequent drainage alternate. Using the methods of phytosociological classification and cluster analysis based on the interpretation of 414 phytosociological relevés, the syntaxonomic structure of the pioneer vegetation of freshwater shorelines of the water bodies of Ukraine has been established that are represented by the phytosociological classes Isoëto-Nanojuncetea and Bidentetea. The class Isoëto-Nanojuncetea includes 8 associations that belong to 2 alliances and 1 order and the class Bidentetea includes 10 associations belonging to 2 alliances and 1 order. Phytocoenoses of both classes are more typical for the Polissia region and the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, where there are favourable habitats with a flat relief, low degree of dissection and a high level of soil humidity. Using a DCA ordination analysis of associations their position in ecological space was determined. It was established that the main factors of ecological differentiation for Isoëto-Nanojuncetea habitats are soil humidity, soil aeration, nitrogen content, as well as temperature regime. Differentiation in the hyperspace of abiotic factors of the class Bidentetea occurs mainly along the gradients of soil humidity, salt regime and acidity. The ecological distribution of syntaxa of this class is also significantly influenced by the concentration of mineral nitrogen compounds in the soil.

The studies were carried out in 2015–2018 in the southern forest-steppe of Tyumen region in order to assess the yield, realize its potential and ecological plasticity of pea varieties admitted for use in the region, to identify the best genotypes. The material for the study was the data on the yield of eight varieties of peas. The index of environmental conditions and ecological plasticity were determined according to the method of S.A. Eberhart, W.A. Russell, the share of yield, relative to the average variety, and the realization of its potential - according to L.A. Zhivotkov and E.D. Nettevich, the yield range - according to V.A. Zykin. The index of environmental conditions in the years of testing varied from 0.89 (2015) to -1.04 (2016). Salamanca variety was characterized by the highest yield potential and the highest adaptability, in comparison with the average variety, in the most favorable (120.3%) and most unfavorable conditions (141.7%). On average for 2015–2018 the best in terms of yield was Omskiy 9 variety (1.98 t/ha). At the same time, the range of variation in the value of this indicator for the analyzed was significant - from 73.8% (Yamalskiy) to 89.0% (Kumir). Omskiy 9 variety (69.0%) was characterized by the highest value of the realization of the yield potential, and the lowest - Kumir (50.7%). The varieties Omskiy 9 (bi = 1.17), Kumir (bi = 1.13) and Salamanca (bi = 1.15) were characterized by the highest responsiveness to changes in environmental conditions - these are varieties of the intensive type. Weak responsiveness to changes in environmental conditions was found in the varieties Yamalsky (bi = 0.80) and Yamal (bi = 0.86). The varieties Batrak, Agrointel and Tomas, with a regression coefficient equal to or close to one, are classified as plastic. The Tomas variety was the most stable (Si2 = 0.16), the least - Kumir (Si2 = 15.98). On the basis of a comprehensive assessment of yield and parameters of ecological adaptability, the best varieties in the southern forest-steppe zone of Tyumen region were recognized as Omskiy 9 and Salamanca

AbstractMorphological variation of vipers of the Vipera berus complex in Eastern Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Western and Central Ukraine was studied using multivariate statistics. Discriminant analysis, based on ten meristic characters in 89.7% of cases (males) and in 92.0% cases (females), was able to separate reference samples of subspecies Vipera berus berus and Vipera berus nikolskii and was conducted to classify snakes from the studied territory. According to these results, V. b. nikolskii inhabits the broad-leaved forests in the forest-steppe zone in the Republic of Moldova, the hilly part of Eastern Romania and Central Ukraine. Specimens from a contact zone between V. b. berus and V. b. nikolskii have intermediate morphology and, thus, could represent the result of introgression. Populations of the Nikolsky's viper from the western part of its range combine high level of morphological differentiation from V. b. berus with the presence of non-black specimens and even include populations without melanistic specimens, previously thought not to occur in this taxon. A morphological description of the largest samples is given and determination of V. b. nikolskii is discussed.

The effect of fertilizers application by the method of fertigation with drip irrigation during seabuckthorn growing in the nursery was estimated. The research has been carried out in the nursery field, in the forest-steppe zone of Altai Krai in 2019-2020. The soil on the experimental plot is gray-forest, reaction of the medium pH 5.8-5.9. The content of nitrate nitrogen was in the range of 7.8-9.8 mg/kg in the control variant; after fertilization, these values rose to 87.9 mg/kg. Nitrate nitrogen was determined by the ion-selective method. The soil at a high level is provided with mobile phosphorus 342-453 mg/kg and potassium 181-355 mg/kg - determined according to Chirikov. The research object – is one-year-old seabuckthorn trees of Altaiskaya cultivar. Urea was applied as nitrogen fertilizer in three rates of the active ingredient (40, 60, and 80 kg/ha). Double superphosphate (30 kg/ha) and potassium chloride (30 kg/ha) were used as the background. The soil moisture level was maintained at 70-80% of the LWC. The effectiveness of fertilizers was assessed by the marketable yield of two-year-old seedlings and their quality indicators. The measurements were carried out in the fall, after excavation. According to the values of the parameters of the aboveground part, the dose of nitrogen fertilizer of 60 kg/ha turned out to be the best option. At the same time, the seedlings had a height of 89.5 cm, the number of branches was 4.4 pcs., The diameter of the trunk was 8.4 cm, which is 15.4 cm, 0.5 pcs. and 1.3 mm above the control. The yield of seedlings of the first commercial grade in the experiment averaged 164 pieces. (82.8%), the maximum is marked on the N60P30K30 variant 190 pcs. (93.8%). Control without the use of fertilizers in all respects is significantly inferior to options with fertilizers. Thus, the use of nitrogen fertilizers has a positive effect on the quality of the seabuckthorn planting material. As a result, the utilization of nitrogen fertilizers has a positive effect on the quality of the seabuckthorn plant material, while higher concentrations become unprofitable compared to low ones due to high costs and insignificant differences in the quality of trees

Abstract The development and application of new reforestation technologies remain relevant due to climate change. The main technology of forest sowing in Russia does not provide effective reforestation. Innovative technologies of reforestation based on seedlings with a closed root system make it possible to increase the livelihood of plants and accelerate reforestation processes. Using the method of determining costs, a comparative economic analysis of the technologies for growing oak seedlings with an open and closed root system in the forest-steppe regions of Russia was carried out. It was found that the technology of growing seedlings with a closed root system is less labor-consuming and provides a high level of income for investments. The innovative technology of growing seedlings with a closed root system in greenhouses is more competitive and its use allows to generate income from one hectare of area 50 times more than when growing seedlings in forest nurseries by increasing the number of seedling rotation. A comparative economic assessment of two oak seedling projects under forest-steppe conditions suggests the feasibility of moving to innovative reforestation technologies. In the current climate change conditions, a serious correction of approaches to reforestation in the forest-steppe zones of Russia is necessary.
