The distribution of protected plant species was analyzed on the basis of the landscape approach for the first time in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park (Sevastopol, Crimea). The territory of the Nature Park is characterized by high biological and landscape diversity. Thirty-eight species of vascular plants included in various Red Lists of Threatened Species and nature conservation conventions are registered in the Park. Five endemic species of Crimea are identified there. It is noted that the largest number of protected plant species belong to the families Orchidaceae, Poaceae, and Iridaceae. A landscape map was made at the level of terrain types. It is revealed that the modern landscapes of the Nature Park were formed under the influence of natural and anthropogenic processes. It is shown that the number and species composition of protected plants differ in the selected landscape complexes due to natural features and the degree of anthropogenic transformation. Description of the locations of protected plant species in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park enables providing long-term species observation in condition of nature protection regime. The obtained data can be used for optimization of environmental management and functional zoning of the Nature Park.

Based on comprehensive environmental monitoring, geobotanical, zoogeographical, landscape-ecological, hydro-ecological, forest-typological, agroecological principles and approaches and own field research, it is proposed to expand the area of the national natural park (NNP) «Karmelyukove Podillya» within Vinnytsia region. The general ecological and geographical characteristics of the park from the standpoint of physical-geographical and geobotanical zoning are given. It is shown which objects of the nature reserve fund (NRF) are parts of the park. The structural elements of the ecological network of the park have been identified (natural cores: 1 — Britavske; 2 — Chervonohreblyanske; 3 — Verbske; 4 — Bondurivske; 5 — Kurenivske; 6 — Novoukrainske; 7 — Lubomyrkivske as well as regenerative territories: 1 — Novoukrainska; 2 — Verbska; 3 — Stratiyivska; 4 — Bondurivska; 5 — Luzhska; 6 — Chervonohreblyanska), functional zoning of its territory was carried out, where representative and rare ecosystems are taken into account. The functional zoning of the NNP territory is shown, where typical, representative and rare ecosystems are taken into account. The necessity of changing the regime of the territory of the tract «Stratiyivska Dacha» in quarters 72, 74–75 on the area of 641 ha from the economic zone to the zone of regulated recreation is substantiated. The need to include in the park with the right of permanent use of the tract «Vyshenka», an area of 47.7 hectares, located within the Chechelnytsia village council as a holistic natural complex, represented by unique landscapes of different types of ecosystems, including forest, meadow-steppe and water-wamps. This area is characterized by 8 habitats with valuable associations of plant groups, which include 15 regionally rare species and 9 species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, home to more than 50 species of animals with international and national sozological status. In general, it is advisable to transfer other territories to the NNP for permanent use: ornithological reserve of local significance «Stavky» — 6.9 ha; lands of historical and cultural purpose — 17.3 hectares; forest reserve land — 7.7 hectares; agricultural land — 25.5 hectares; shrubs, reserve land — 7.3 hectares. The total area of these plots is 64.7 hectares, which together with the tract «Vyshenka» will be 112.4 hectares. The inclusion of these areas in the park will preserve representative landscapes with diverse flora and fauna, rational use of recreational potential, promote eco-tourism, sport hunting and fishing, introduce permanent nature education, conservation and environmental education, create new jobs for the population and will maintain the established regime of park protection and engage in organic farming. Currently, the park needs to conduct scientific activities, develop various types of ecological tourism — hiking, biking, equestrian, water, health, historical and cultural, to develop ecological and educational trails, and increase the ecological and educational level of the local population, in the economic zone to engage in organic farming. At present, this work should be aimed at reviving folk traditions in the field of nature protection and forming a caring attitude to the nature of the native land.

Modern approaches to the use of grid mapping in studies of biodiversity at the level of distinct countries and local territories are described. Information on the territory of Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park as a significant element of the National Ecological Network, the Emerald Network in Ukraine and the regional ecological network, and on its functional zoning is given. The cartographic basis of the territory of Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park is created via MapInfo program. When designing the grid map of the park, the experience of developing grid maps for Cheremosh National Nature Park, Vyzhnytsky National Nature Park, Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park, Khotynsky National Natural Park was used. It is based on application of a grid of 1×1-km squares, which is consistent with the accepted in Atlas Florae Europaeae grid, following the UTM coordinate system. Operational layer of the generated map comprises 1193 squares, fully (876) or partially (317) covering the study area. Each square is assigned an individual number (ID), consisting of alphanumeric notation that allows to easily find information and operate it. For each of the plant species, there is created a separate layer, stored in an electronic database and containing information about the location of the species in a certain square. Synthesis of information using the algorithm of creating thematic maps will help to identify the locations of concentration of floristic diversity in the study area, and its combination with zoning maps will provide an opportunity to correct functional zoning of Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park. The information collected and organized in this way will clearly display the dynamics of the number of individual species, which is especially relevant for rare species and alien flora fraction of the park. Cartographic material will be the basis for further monitoring studies within the territory of Seymskiy Regional Landscape Park.

This work is the first attempt to make up an inventory of the fauna of rove beetles in the Hutsulshchyna National Natural Park (Ukraine, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast), which was created in 2002 and has an area of 32,271 hectares. The modern territory of the park has never been the object of special scientific research on the fauna of rove beetles of the Aleocharinae subfamily. As a result, information about the finds of representatives of the Aleocharinae subfamily has been obtained from the study of the largest collection of rove beetles in Ukraine, which contains both modern collections and collections of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection was formed by Marian-Aloiz Lomnitski and was further developed and replenished with collections from different parts of Ukraine and the world by several generations of Ukrainian and European entomologists. For the moment, the collection is kept in the funds of the State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and contains more than 1,500 specimens, which belong to more than 300 species and are of great historical and scientific value. As a result of the conducted studies, 30 species belonging to 18 genera are reported for the first time for the fauna of the Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park, of which 4 species (Atheta corvina (Thomson, 1856), Schistoglossa viduata (Erichson, 1837), Leptusa puellaris puellaris (C. Hampe, 1863), Silusa rubra (Erichson, 1839)) are reported for the first time for the territory of Ukraine. The species and specimens (with references, data of their distribution in Europe, as well as substrate and biotope preferences of adults) are listed. The obtained data will later on provide an opportunity to expand the understanding of the distribution of species – specifically for faunal research, as well as for biogeographic modelling.

The main geoecological problems of protected areas within large cities and the reasons for their occurrence were researched on the example of the regional landscape park (RLP) “Lysa Gora” in Kiev. The absence of proper information about the importance and value of protected area in combination with the lack of funds for protection service raise a number of problems associated with non-compliance with environmental treatment area. In particular, visiting a park on private vehicle leads to destruction of rare plant species, animals deterrence, trampling natural vegetation. As a result of mass recreation of Kyiv residents during the holidays, solid waste pollution has a devastating effect on natural ecosystems. Burning fires leads to the death of Red Book and rare plant species, destruction of mountain steppe areas and all seed fund. In the tract area and around it formed the powerful centers of reproduction of invasive plants. Progressive erosion, landslides activate, degrade valuable meadow and deciduous plant communities. Illegal deforestation is happening in some Kyiv areas; the snow collected from city streets is stored in the protective zone of the river Lybid. Together with the snow a huge amount of debris, dirt and salt get into water and change the geochemical regime of surrounding area. Analysis of the above-mentioned and other negative influences and their implications for protected area allows to make a conclusion about the need for elimination or mitigation of the existing natural-using conflicts, particularly by establishing of park recreational capacity to prevent the destruction of especially valuable parcels natural components; functional zoning RLP area considering environmental, recreational, scientific, health, recreational, historical, cultural and other values; documentary consolidation of land plots with their strict subordination; establish effective penalties for areas special regime violations and excessive recreation load. In the future, the successful solution of the existing problems should conduct thorough research on functional zoning for the purpose of reserved kernel allocation, to implement measures for the resettlement of rare flora species and reintroduction of lost species, restoration of vegetation and more. Mapped scheme of main nature using conflicts within RLP is developed. A set of preventive and remedial measures to minimize existing conflicts and optimization of nature protection institutions in urban environment is proposed.

The territory of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain within Volgograd region, included in the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, has been subjected to anthropogenic impact for many years. Initially, in order to regulate economic activities, the natural park space was divided into three functional zones: environmental, recreational, and agricultural. In subsequent years, within the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, due to the increased anthropogenic load on the landscapes, it became necessary to adjust the spatial organization of areas with different purposes. In the actual version of functional zoning, five functional zones (agrarian landscapes, environmental, recreational, extensive nature management and buffer) are presented. In order to determine the transformation of the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain spatial organization, changes in the functional zoning of this specially protected natural area during the period from the beginning of the 2000s to 2020 were revealed with the use of geoinformation systems. Most of the lands have not changed their legal status. The agricultural zone underwent the main transformation, most of which were transferred to the recreational zone. The territory of environmental zone that includes the most valuable natural complexes and objects has been squeezed out to territories that are less profitable for nature users. The lands of the Sredneakhtubinsky district are most exposed to anthropogenic impact, since this municipality includes significant areas occupied by zones of extensive nature management and agrarian landscapes, within which the most destructive nature management for ecosystems is carried out, while the ratio of nature protection spaces to the area of the municipality is the smallest. In the Svetloyarsk district, the ecological situation is the most favorable, since almost the entire territory is occupied by an environmental functional zone.

The article presents the results of a long-term study of the indigenous flora of the Ust-Belsky Nature Park. A list of vascular plants is given. There are 588 plant species from 299 genera and 87 families. The territory of the park consists of 2 clusters. They are located on different banks of the Kama River. The list contains cluster information for each plant species. Only 477 plant species are common to the two clusters, while the remaining species are characteristic of individual sections of the natural park. There are 68 such types in cluster 1, and 43 in cluster 2. In the course of floristic studies in different years, the growth of 23 rare plant species listed in the Red Book of the Udmurt Republic was recorded on the territory of the Ust-Belsky Natural Park.

Mast cells in the dura mater of the rat may play a role in cerebral pathologies including neurogenic inflammation (vasodilation; plasma extravasation) and headache pain . As has been suggested for other tissues, dural mast cells may exhibit a close spatial relationship to nerves. There has been no detailed ultrastructural description of mast cells in this tissue; therefore, the goals of this study were to provide this analysis and to determine the spatial relationship of mast cells to nerves and other components of the dura mater in the rat.Four adult anesthetized male Wistar rats (290-400 g) were fixed by perfusion through the heart with 2% glutaraldehyde and 2.8% paraformaldehyde in a potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 30 min. The head of each rat was removed and stored in fixative for a minimum of 24 h at which time the dural coverings were removed and dissected into samples that included the middle meningeal vasculature. Samples were routinely processed and flat embedded in LX 112. Thick (1 um) sections from a minimum of 3 blocks per rat were stained with toluidine blue (0.5% aqueous).

Впервые в мире создана популяция зубров на территории 60 градусов северной широты. В новых климатических условиях разведения и сохранения зубров определены и проанализированы факторы существования вида на севере Европейской части РФ. Выявлены признаки, динамика численности, которые являются составной частью системы, предназначенной для управления биоразнообразием. Интродукция, являясь процессом введения в экосистему нехарактерных для нее видов, может усиливать изменения биоценозов как положительно, так и отрицательно. Насколько быстро и успешно проходит процесс адаптации заселенного вида, и усматривается его влияние на окружающую среду зависит дальнейшее существование зубров и в целом биоразнообразия. В статье обсуждаются вопросы взаимоотношения зубров с другими видами копытных и хозяйственной деятельностью человека, а также дальнейшим использованием зубров в сельскохозяйственном производстве. Пластичность зубров, выявление изменений и их анализ при вселении видов в новые условия обитания необходимы не только для определения развития или деградации биоценозов и в целом экосистемы, но и прогноза социально-экономических последствий интродукции как одного из методов сохранения редких и исчезающих видов фауны.For the first time in the world, a bison population has been created in an area of 60 degrees north latitude. In the new climatic conditions of breeding and preservation of bison, the factors of the species existence in the north of the European part of the Russian Federation are identified and analyzed. The signs, dynamics of abundance, which are an integral part of the system designed to manage biodiversity are identified, since the preservation of biological diversity on the planet is one of the main problems of our time. Introduction, being the process of introducing non-typical species into an ecosystem, can enhance changes in biocenoses, both positively and negatively. The question posing sounds especially when it comes to such a large hoofed animal as the European bison. How quickly and successfully the process of adaptation of the universe takes place and its environmental impact is seen depends on the continued existence of bison and biodiversity in general. The article discusses the relationship of bison with other types of ungulates and human activities, as well as the further use of bison in agricultural production. How these issues will be resolved positively depends on the future of these animals. Thus, the plasticity of bison, the identification of changes and their analysis, with the introduction of species into new habitat conditions is necessary not only to determine the development or degradation of biocenoses and the ecosystem as a whole, but also to predict the socio-economic consequences due to the introduction as one of the methods of preserving rare and endangered species of fauna.

The present work outlines the fair relationship of the computational model with the experiments on anion photoelectron spectroscopy for the gold-water complexes [Au(H2O)1≤n≤2]- that is established between the auride anion Au- and water monomer and dimer thanks to the nonconventional hydrogen bond where Au- casts as the nonconventional proton acceptor. This work also extends the computational model to the larger complexes [Au(H2O)3≤n≤5]- where gold considerably thwarts the shape of water clusters and even particularly breaks their conventional hydrogen bonding patterns. The fascinating phenomenon of the lavish proton acceptor character of Au- to form at least six hydrogen bonds with molecules of water is computationally unveiled in the present work for the first time.
