The paper presents the results of geoinformation mapping of burned areas in zonal landscapes of the Astrakhan, Volgograd regions and the Republic of Kalmykia for 1998-2019. In total, over the studied period, more than 6 million hectares were covered by fire, more than 15 thousand fires were identified. The total burnt area, excluding recurrence, is more than 15 million hectares. Some areas have burned out up to 11-14 times in 20 years.

New data on 22 species of bees of the family Megachilidae from the North Caucasus and the south of European Russia are reported. Six species are new to Russia: Hoplitis curvipes (Morawitz, 1871), Osmia cinerea Warncke, 1988, O. ligurica Morawitz, 1868, O. cyanoxantha Pérez, 1879, Protosmia glutinosa (Giraud, 1871), and Coelioxys mielbergi Morawitz, 1880. Hoplitis turcestanica (Dalla Torre, 1896), sp. resurr. is treated as a distinct species, not a junior synonym of H. caularis (Morawitz, 1875). Megachile albocristata Smith, 1853 and M. alborufa Friese, 1911 are listed instead of previously recorded M. lefebvrei (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841) and M. pyrenaica (Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1841), respectively. Fourteen new regional records are reported: seven species are new to the North Caucasus, five ones are new to the south of European Russia, and two species are new to the European part of Russia as a whole. The numbers of megachilid bee species currently known in Russia, the North Caucasus, and the south of European Russia are 217, 130, and 71, respectively. The lectotype of Osmia proxima Morawitz, 1875 is designated.

The results of assessing allocation, territorial distribution of green zones of the Republic of Bashkortostan are given and the standard area of the green zone of the republic's settlements is calculated. In the forest fund of the republic on an area of 300.29 thousand hectares, green zones have been allocated on the territory of 27 out of 31 forestry districts. The largest areas of green zones (thousand hectares) are allocated in Ufa (55.569, including forest park zone 3.280), Dyurtyulinsky (25.904), Sterlitamak (26.875, including forest park zone 4.873) and Yanaulsky (19.724, including forest park zone 0.809) forestry. The lack of green zones in Burzyansky, Karaidelsky, Nurimanovsky and Khaibullinsky forestries is explained by the priority of other categories of protective forests - valuable forests, forests located in water protection zones and in protected areas. Forest park zone is allocated in 19% of forestries. The area of green zones according to the State Standard should be 317.8 thousand hectares, according to the method of V.P. Kovtunov - S.V. Belov - 592.1 thousand hectares, in fact, it is 231.8 hectares. It is required to include 86.0 thousand hectares of forests in the green zone according to the GOST standard. It was determined that in the South Ural forest-steppe region there are 7.1 hectares of forest fund per inhabitant, in the Forest-steppe region - 1.1 hectares / person, in the area of coniferous-deciduous forests - 1.5 hectares / person. The area of the green zone of the cities of the Forest-steppe region of the European part of the Russian Federation is closest to the optimal one; in the Region of coniferous-broad-leaved forests of the European part of the Russian Federation, green zones exceed the norms for the areas of green zones both according to GOST and according to V.P. Kovtunov - S.V. Belov. Insufficient forest area of green zones is seen in the South Ural forest-steppe region

The article describes a new association of meso-xerophylous forests in the South of the European part of Russia Poo nemoralis–Quercetum roboris ass. nov. hoc loco, its differentiation from analogous syntaxa is discussed, and new data on the distribution of communities of the alliance Scutellario altissimae–Quercion roboris Goncharenko et al. 2020 on the Russian Plain are done. Vegetation classification was carried out by J. Braun-Blanquet approach based on 470 relevés of forest vegetation, collected by the author in 2007–2021 in the northern and central parts of Rostov, Voronezh and Volgograd Regions. In addition, the analysis included 777 relevés from the phytocenary made by G. M. Zozulin in the same regions in 1960–1980s. Based on the studies carried out, the current area of the alliance can be expanded to the lower reaches of the Don River. For a more adequate reflection of the floristic, ecological and geographical features of its communities, it was proposed to change the composition of the diagnostic species of the alliance and it was recommended to amend the current definition of the order Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae, expanding its area to Eastern Europe.

The article presents the results of long-term research of ravine oak forests of the Rostov region.The term ‘bayrack’ (ravine) forest is associated with the growing of forests of this type on the slopes of ravines in the forest-steppe zone. The conducted ecological and floral classification showed a high syntaxonomic diversity of ravine oak forests of the region. Forest communities are represented by 6 associations: Scorzonero ensifoliae–Quercetum Sokolova ex Semenishchenkov 2020; Vicio pisiformis–Quercetum roboris Semenishchenkov 2012; Pyro pyrastri– Quercetum roboris Poluyanov 2012; Chamaecytiso ruthenici–Quercetum roboris Poluyanov 2012; Fritillario ruthenici-Quercetum roboris Onyschenko, Dyakova et Karpenko ex Goncharenko in Goncharenko et al. 2020, Melico pictae-Ulmetum minoris ass. nov. prov. from 2 classes: Carpino–Fagetea, Quercetea pubescentis and 2 unions: Aceri campestris-Quercion roboris and Scutellario altissimae-Quercion roboris. There are 67 rare plant species listed in the Red Books of the Rostov [1], Volgograd [2] and Voronezh [3] regions in the communities of these associations. Oak forests in the south of the European part of Russia significantly increase the biological diversity not only of the Don region, but also of the entire steppe zone of the country.
