EXPERIENCE OF REINTRODUCTION OF THE RARE RELICT SPECIES ALLIUM OBLIQUUM L. IN THE BASHKIR CIS-URALS
The article discusses the features of distribution, ecology, the conservation status and the limiting factors of the rare relict species Allium obliquum L. in the Bashkir Cis-Urals. The preliminary results of experiments on an artificial increase in the number of threatened populations are given. The object of protection in the work is the population of the species near the Bishkain village (Aurgazinsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan) The complex of measures for the preservation of the A. obliquum gene pool in this population includes: monitoring of the preserved natural population, introduction to the nursery of the Botanical Garden (Ufa), introduction to the Natural Botanical Garden (Kushnarenkovsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan), creation of reserve artificial populations in the vicinity of the natural population near the Bishkain village and in the place of the disappeared population near the Uksunny village (Aurgazinsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan). Two methods of mobilization of the species have been used – sowing seeds and adult plants transplant. At each stage of reintroduction measures, generative plants and seeds were obtained. Vegetative reproduction of plants is noted. We consider plant transplantation to be a faster and more reliable way of creating artificial populations, the safety of individuals from the number of planted so far ranged from 50.0 to 95.0%.
