Ptilostemon echinocephalus (Willd.) Greuter (Lamyra echinocephala (Willd.) Tamamsch.) is the only species of the genus Ptilostemon from the Asteraceae family that grows on the Crimean Peninsula. The relic area of Ptilostemon echinocephalus distributed by the Crimea, the Caucasus, Asia Minor. The species is included in the Red Book of the Republic of Crimea, Krasnodarskiy and Stavropolskiy Krays of the Russian Federation. The article is the result of a long-term study of morphological criteria of Ptilostemon echinocephalus age status. Thus, the ontogenesis of individuals of the species Ptilostemon echinocephalus includes 12 age states, the total during of ontogenesis lasts 15–18 years. The main characters of the pregenerative period differentiation of development are the number of leaves and the differentiation degree of the leaves lamina. During the study, another important feature was identified to indicate different age stages, the ratio of vegetating and dried leaves. Generative plants were subdivided into: immature generative (g1), adult (mature) generative (g2) and old generative (g3). For the generative stage of development, the ratio of generative and vegetative rosettes, the ratio of dried and vegetative shoots, and the number of baskets were indicative. Differentiation of subsenile and senile age states is conducted according to the same criteria that are used for generative individuals, the main emphasis is on the ratio of dried and vegetative parts.The article also notes the specificity of the course of ontogenesis depending on the ecological-cоenotic conditions in the petrophytic steppes and phrygana communities of the Crimea.

The value of the fruits of the apple tree culture for the human diet is shown. The necessity of selection to improve the chemical composition of its fruits is justified. In the Russian Federation and the Republic of the Crimea as an integral part of it, all-round improvement of the varietal composition of apple trees should be accompanied by extensive use of the best selected or created new cultivars of local selection, including the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens. The objective of the research is to identify sources of economically valuable traits that are of interest for practical application and further selection. The article presents the results of a long-term study of the commodity and consumer qualities of 15 promising breeding forms of apple trees. The highest yield of commercial fruits was observed in four genotypes: 1-32-87, 2-6-13-82, 2-38-78, 3-6. The maximum weight of the fruit (226-224 g) differs in three breeding forms-3-6, 2-38-78, 3-6-47-79, according to the sugar content (12.7-13.1%), two are distinguished - 2-6-13-80 and 12-3-78. In terms of vitamin C content, four breeding forms, including 1-32-87 and 3-6, surpassed the control cultivar. During the organoleptic evaluation, the highest score was obtained by the control and selection forms 1-32-87 and 10-72-78. The selected genotypes are of considerable interest for practical use and selection.

In this article the latest stage of development of the regional legislation of the Republic of Crimea in the sphere of regulation of the legal regime of lands of specially protected territories is analyzed, it is described the steps for its further improvement. The emphasis is placed on the importance of specially protected natural areas for solving a number of social and economic problems of the region. It is pointed out that the legal regime of nature management in specially protected territories depends on the degree of “severity” of their protection. There are negative factors that occur in violation of the regime of use of specially protected natural territories in the Crimea. The author draws attention to the regulation in the documents of long-term strategic planning of the issue of involvement of specially protected natural territories in the development of ecological tourism and notes the perspective of this type of tourism for the Crimean Peninsula.

The situation in the ecology of the Crimean Peninsula in recent years was discussed in the article. The analysis of absolute and integrated indicators of the anthropogenic impact showed that the ecological situation remains difficult, and according to some indicators even continues to deteriorate. In summer 2018, the situation had worsened because of the large chemical release of titanium dioxide on the north of the Crimea from the holding pond of a large Russian plant that is situated near the town of Armyansk. This, in turn, led to the contamination of the large territory on the north of the peninsula. This fact indicates insufficient control by officials of the Republic of Crimea over the implementation of the RF laws for environmental protection by business owners of various forms of ownership, especially private ownership, the level of responsibility for the environment of which is very low.

The article presents and summarizes the results of mapping transformational processes in the demographic and ethno-confessional space of the Crimea. Map plots reflect the options for visualizing data on demographic, ethnic and religious processes in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol over the past decades. The maps illustrate the dynamics of the population size and density, its natural movement, the balance of migration, marriage and divorce, territorial features of the settlement of large and small ethnic groups of the Crimea, the placement of religious buildings and religious communities on its territory. Maps of rural settlement and the appearance of villages with endangered populations were created and analyzed. The types of dynamics of demographic, ethnic and confessional situations in the Crimea are determined. The analysis of the peculiarities of the dynamics of the ethnodemographic space of the Crimea during the change of its political subjectivity is carried out. The main spatial patterns of the processes that form the modern portrait of the population of the Crimean Peninsula are revealed. The conclusion is made about the possibility of cartographic study of the demographic and ethno-confessional specifics of the territory after preliminary differentiation of socio-cultural processes within its boundaries into large-scale and local ones. This allows us to clarify not only the spatial, but also the essential markers of their occurrence. In modern Crimea, large-scale transformational socio-cultural processes should include all the reproductive and migration changes that are the result of demographic breakdowns that began in the 1990s. The processes of changing its ethnic and confessional spaces should be considered local in Crimea. Their mapping revealed the narrowing nature of such a phenomenon as the polyethnicity of the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. Cartographic study of socio-cultural processes in the Crimea confirmed the author’s hypothesis that the Crimean regional community has not completed the process of post-Soviet transformation and continues to support the development trends established at the end of the twentieth century.

The development of the extractive industry on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula leads to an increase in the number of quarries and, consequently, to an increase in the area occupied by disturbed lands requiring recultivation. The reclamation of such land plots on the basis of creating the necessary conditions for the development on them of regenerative successions of zonal vegetation and ultimately the formation of soils is much cheaper for land users. Therefore, studies of the rates of soil formation, including using the methods of mathematical modeling of the processes of formation of the humus horizon of the soil over time, become relevant. Based on the example of the Alexandrovsky field of saw limestone in the Black Sea region of the Republic of the Crimea, the economic efficiency of reclamation of disturbed land was calculated. The results of the calculation showed that in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is more rational to use the mining engineering model with further self-overgrowing of the sites to be reclaimed when it comes to reclaiming disturbed lands of the Alexandrovsky career.

The “black list” of the Crimean flora, on the territory of two administrative units - the Republic of the Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol, is presented. The analysis of the alien species of the Crimean flora was carried out and the most dangerous for ecosystems invasive species of higher plants were identified in accordance with the recommendations for keeping the Black Books. The data on distribution, habitats and invasive status (IS) of 70 species are summarized. Transformers are represented by 9 species with IS 1 ( Ailanthus altissima, Bupleurum fruticosum, Elaeagnus angustifolius, Fraxinus ornus, Jacobaea maritima, Opuntia engelmannii subsp. lindheimeri, O. fragilis,O. humifusa, Rhamnus alaternus ), they change the appearance of ecosystems. Nineteen alien species actively disperse and naturalize in disturbed semi-natural and natural habitats (with IS 2) and 42 species (with IS 3) are widely distributed in disturbed habitats. The peculiarity and variety of soil and climatic conditions of the peninsula contribute to the introduction of alien species, many of which are invasive only on the territory of the Republic of the Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. This article is a necessary step towards the preparation of the Black Book of the flora of the Crimean Peninsula and the basis for making decision on prevention the economic and environmental damage of the natural biodiversity of the region.
