scholarly journals Conservation of higher aquatic flora in the Kharkiv region

Based on the results of field research, inventory of CWU herbarium collections and study of scientific sources it was carried out the sozological assessment of rare plant species as a part of the higher aquatic flora of the Kharkiv region according to generally accepted criteria of rarity. It has been found that four species (Salvinia natans (L.) All., Trapa natans L., Utricularia intermedia Hayne, U. minor L.) are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, the first two of which are in the Annex I of Bern Convention. The European Red List of Vascular Plants includes three species (Potamogeton acutifolius Link, P. rutilus Wolfg., Trapa natans), which have the conservation status “Near Threatened”. 27 plant species are in the Red List of Aquatic Macrophytes of Ukraine and 22 species are included in the Regional Red List of the Kharkiv region. It has been revealed that populations of six rare species (Batrachium aquatile (L.) Dumort., Potamogeton obtusifolius Mert. et Koch, P. rutilus Wolfg., Scirpus triqueter L., Vallisneria spiralis L., Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Horkel ex Wimmer) are on the border of the range. By the uniqueness for the region, one species (Salvinia natans) is considered as rare for Europe, 26 species are rare at the state level and 10 species are rare at the regional level. For 22 species there are known from one to five locations in the region. By the size of the habitat area, the most of cenopopulations of species occupy small areas (for 27 species it is less than 5 hectares). At present the location of 6 species has not been confirmed (Ceratophyllum tanaiticum Sapjeg., Potamogeton gramineus L., P. obtusifolius Mert.et W.D.J.Koch, P. praelongus Wulfen, P. sarmaticus Mäemets, Trapa natans). It has been established that populations of only 8 species are represented quite fully at the natural reserve areas of the region. On the basis of autphytosozological analysis we propose to include 22 species of vascular plants in the Regional Red List of the Kharkiv region and to exclude from it two species: Utricularia intermedia, which is in the Red Book of Ukraine and has the conservation status at the state level, and Vallisneria spiralis L., which is considered as adventive species.

Despite the fact that the most changes in lists of threatened species reflect changes in knowledge rather than changes in conservation status, the lists continue to provide social and legal mandates for conservation; they are used to report on the state of the environment and to guide the allocation of scarce resources. There is a substantial under-representation of non-vascular species in threatened plant lists, reflected in an absence of documented extinctions among fungi and algae. Turnover in the composition of extinct flora lists in Australia suggests that the lists of threatened species may not be sufficiently reliable to form the basis for reporting on the state of the environment. They are of limited use in distinguishing between levels of threat and may not be a reliable guide for the allocation of scarce conservation resources among plant species. Systems for listing threatened species create a feedback loop, responsive to the subjective preferences of scientists, largely unresponsive to underlying true threats, self-perpetuating and accentuating bias with each iteration. Other tools, including formal decision approaches and the acquisition of new kinds of data, are needed to fill the roles.

Because of preparing new edition of “Krasnoyarsky Region Red book (plants and fungi)”, the change of approaches to formation of specially protected vascular plants list are proposed. The changes of principles for adding species to this list are proposed, as well as offers by including and excluding the species. In particular, conferring conservation status is necessary not only for species at whole, but for separate large populations. The special approaches is necessary for species, hard to definite in nature. Besides, it is necessary to supplement new edition by Appendix “The list of Krasnoyarsky Region plant species needing special attention by their condition in nature”.

Assessment of plant species in particular rare and endemic is essential for monitoring and conservation planning. I aimed to support conservation activities by addressing knowledge of the status of Aloe dhufarensis Lavranos, one of the endemic plants in the Arabian Peninsula. Information on the status and distribution range of A. dhufarensis in the Arabian Peninsula is almost absent. To Assess A. dhufarensis according to IUCN categories, Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) were created and measured using ArcMap 10.8. The species is described and illustrated; the distribution of the species was mapped. The evaluation and the conservation status of this plant species are reported according to the context of IUCN Red List guidelines and criteria.

The forest plantations in q. 38 and q. 49 of Gubinsky forestry of the State Enterprise «Volodymyr-Volynsky Forest-Hunting Economy» in Volyn region were researched during the study. It was revealed that the edificatory tier is formed by centuries-old trees Quercus robur L., the undergrowth tier – by Carpinus betulus L., Q. robur, Populus tremula L. The shrubs are well expressed and formed by Sorbus aucuparia L., Corylus avellana L., Swida alba ( L.) Opiz., Euonymus europaea L., E. verrucosa Scop., Sambucus nigra L. It was found out that Q. robur of 150-180 years old grow on sod-slightly podzolic soils mainly in the 2nd class of growth class in two types of forest plant conditions – fresh hornbeam-oak-pine sugrudy in the q. 38 and fresh hornbeam sudubrava in q. 49, and are characterized by a wide range of completeness – 0.3–0.89. 70 species of vascular plants belonging to 5 divisions, 6 classes, 25 orders, 40 families and 63 genera were found in the studied territory. Magnoliophyta make up 90.0% of the total species. The most abundant species are Rosales (11 species; 15.7%), Lamiales (7 species; 10.0%), Asparagales, Poales (6 species each; 8.6 % each); such families as Rosaceae (7 species; 10.0%), Asparagaceae (4 species; 5.7%). We revealed the habitat of 4 rare species of plants of the state-level protection (Platanthera bifolia (L.) Rich., Lilium martagon L., Galanthus nivalis L. with the conservation status «invaluable» and Lycopodium annotinum L. with the protection status «vulnerable» associated with finding the species on the border of the area). Of the adventitious (outlandish) species at the edge of the forest there are Ballota nigra L. s.l., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Stenactis annua (L.) Nees., Solidago canadensis L. The results of the analysis of forestry at q.38, ss. 29, 33; q.49, ss. 29, 36, 48, 49 of Gubinsky forestry of SE «Volodymyr-Volynsky FHE» and the forest inventory information have become the basis for scientifically substantiated conclusions of the expediency of protection of the investigated forest plantations.

The Moravica is a river in the southeast of Banat (Vojvodina Province, Serbia). This relatively small river is characterised by great floristic richness. A total of 87 taxa were found in the Moravica River. It is a sanctuary for some plant species that are rare and endangered both in Serbia and in Europe. Fifty-five species are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and forty-five species are on the European Red List of Vascular Plants. Species Acorus calamus L., Alisma gramineum Gmel., Iris pseudacorus L., Marsilea quadrifolia L., Potamogeton fluitans Roth. and Utricularia vulgaris L. are protected or strictly protected by law in Serbia. Some of these rare species form stands of aquatic and semiaquatic vegetation rare both in Banat and in Serbia in general, such as: Lemnetum (minori) - trisulcae Den Hartog 1963, Potametum nodosi So? (1928) 1960, Segal 1964, Acoreto - Glycerietum aquaticae Slavnic 1956, Rorippo - Oenanthetum (So? 1927) Lohm. 1950, Pop 1968, and Bolboschoenetum maritimi continentale So? (1927) 1957 subass. marsiletosum quadrifoliae Ljevnaic-Masic (2010). Because of its great diversity of flora and vegetation, the Moravica River could be a potential Important Plant Area (IPA) in the future. Unfortunately, strong anthropogenic influence is a threat to this unique flora and vegetation, so appropriate and timely measures for protecting the aquatic ecosystem need to be implemented.

Abstract The Kedah Forest in Sumatra is one of the forests allocated for tourism and research purposes for the local or foreign communities. The Kedah Forest contains a wealth of biological natural resources, flora and fauna, including wood species with a high economic value (commercial). However, data on the diversity of commercial timber plant species in the area have not been recorded and documented, both in terms of tree species and their conservation status. This research aimed to identify commercial timber plant species and determine the population and conservation status of these species in the Kedah Forest. This study was carried out between October and December 2019. We assessed the species richness and the IUCN status of commercial timber species and assessed its conservation status in accordance with IUCN criteria. The result showed that Kedah Forest has 16 species of commercial timber plants from 11 families, of which six species of commercial timber plants have not been registered as commercial timber according to the Decree of the Minister of Forestry Number: 163/Kpts-II/2003 dated 26 May 2003. Four species of wood plants commercial forest in Kedah are listed on the IUCN Red List under the Near Threatened, Low Risk, and Data Less categories.
