Expansion of tree and shrub plant species into undisturbed steppe phytocenoses

The article is devoted to the study of tree and shrub plant species that spontaneously invasively colonize anthropogenically undisturbed steppe ecosystems. The species composition, number and biometric characteristics of tree and shrub plant species are determined. It was established that there are 22 species, among which 8 show the greatest invasive activity, in 6 studied natural beams. These are: Cotinus coggygria Scop., Crataegus fallacina L., Prunus divaricata Ledeb., Prunus stepposa Kotov, Pyrus communis L., Rhamnus cathartica L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Ros corymbifera Borkh. According to the Serensen index of species composition of tree and shrub plants, comparing the slopes of beams of different exposures, it was found that steppe tracts have different similarities between the slopes, but the highest figure was observed for Balka Demurynа (80%).

The paper presents the floristic diversity of the left bank of the Danube and the canal network of Krnjaca and Borca settlements, as well as the factors that endanger it. 216 autochthonous and allochthonous plant species were recorded in the investigated area. A large number of invasive plant species have been observed that spread rapidly and easily forming stable populations that displace native plants. Some of them are: Amorpha fruticosa L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, Asclepias syriaca L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and others. The presence of 6 species that are rare and endangered in Serbia is especially significant, as well as 5 relict species. During the investigation, the factors which influence on natural habitats degradation and the reduction of autochthonous floristic diversity were identified. Accordingly, measures for protection and preservation of autochthonous floristic diversity are recommended.

A large amount of heavy metals leads to environmental pollution. Heavy metals are part of the land or may arise as a result of human products. Affecting the normal growth and development of plant systems and only to a certain limit concentrations of metals. Increasing these suitable and permitted a value to metals in the soil leads to changes in the composition and appearance of the environment in a negative direction. To eliminate or reduce elevated concentrations of heavy metals and their adverse effects on the environment, many researchers focus their attention on finding species that can act as scavengers soil and phytoremediations. There are a large number of plant species that are capable of survival on such surfaces, whether it comes to wild species or species that are on the site with the aim planted. The best known and the most common fitoremedijatori by woody species are Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and its most closely related to indigo ( Amorpha fruticosa L.). Its advanced adaptation and the possibility of survival in the soil rich with heavy metals, are plant species that are used in order to protect the environment from the adverse effects of heavy metals. These species have developed ability to adapt, and thereby can perform the accumulation of heavy metals from the soil. They absorb these metals or through the root system, through the tree to the leaves and flowers or leaves through the metal while returning the return direction. In this way, that is, the accumulation of metals that are present in concentrations higher than allowed for stay vegetation, stored and purified by environmental influences damaging of elements which are present in the air and in the soil.

The actuality of the research is caused by the importance of understanding the laws of natural distribution of woody and shrub plant species on devastated lands of iron ore dumps of Kryviy Rih as a theoretical prerequisite for harmonizing the ecological environment of industrial regions. The aim of the research is to assess the current vital condition of woody and shrub plant species that naturally grow on devastated lands of the iron ore dump from the standpoint of the ecosystem approach. The materials of the work were the results of our own research, which were carried out according to generally accepted methods during 2020–2021 on the territory of Petrovsky waste rock dump of Kryviy Rih iron ore basin. The assessment of the current vital condition was carried out according to the method of V. A. Alekseyev. Presently, the vegetation on Petrovsky waste rock dump, which is a model for the region, is represented by natural groups, has a fragmented character and is a sparse forest. It has been established that 32 species of woody and shrub plant species (25 genera and 15 families) naturally grow within Petrovsky waste rock dump. The current vital condition of woody and shrub plant species in the dump was assessed as «weakened» (65–71 conventional points by V. A. Alekseyev’s scale). Such numerical values of the vitality of the forest stand are 21–28% lower than the control indicators (natural groupings of Gurivka forest). Our results indicate that the ecological conditions of the devastated lands of Petrovsky waste rock dump are relatively favourable for the growth and development of woody and shrub plant species. It was found that European birch (Betula pendula Roth.), ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo L.) and acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) are quite adapted to the habitat conditions of the dump. The vital condition of these species was assessed as «healthy»: 90–95 conventional points by V. A. Alekseyev’s scale.

В Україні проблема реконструкції зелених насаджень урбанізованих територій, зокрема насаджень обмеженого користування, є актуальним питанням сьогодення. Більшість міських зелених насаджень, зокрема закладів освіти, закладали ще за радянських часів. На сьогодні ці насадження застаріли і тому потребують заходів з їх оптимізації. Плодовий сад Хортицької академії було закладено у 1961 році. Натепер сад втратив свої функціональні властивості, тому виникла необхідність його відновлення і реконструкції. Результати інвентаризації показали, що на ділянці налічується 73 деревні рослини. З них плодові дерева (Armeniaca vulgaris Lam., Juglans regia L., Pyrus communis L., Сerasus vulgaris Mill., та Prunus domestica L.) складають 71,2 % (52 екз.), рослини спонтанного походження (Robinia pseudoacacia L., Acer platanoides L., Elaeagnus angustifolia L., Syringa vulgaris L.) у загальній кількості 21 екз., що становить 28,8 % від загальної кількості рослин. Більша частина (36 екз.) плодових дерев перебуває у задовільному стані, 16 – у незадовільному. Декоративних квіткових рослин на території немає. У проєкті запропоновано створити сад вільного пейзажного планування з елементами благоустрою, що поєднає плодові культури з декоративними, також видалити частину старих дерев і деревно-чагарникової спонтанної рослинності. Для дерев, що залишаються, рекомендовано кронування. Ці дерева слугуватимуть основою оновленого саду. Проєктом передбачено збільшення асортименту плодових культур загальною кількістю 3 види (Сerasus vulgaris, Malus domestica L., Malus Niedzwetzkyana Dieck. ex Koehne). Асортимент ягідних культур формуватимуть 11 видів (Cornus mas L., Hippophae rhamnoides L., Ribes nigrum L., R. rubrum L., R. uva-crispa L., Rubus caesius L., Viburnum opulus L. та інші). Квіткове оформлення передбачено у вигляді облямування прогулянкових доріжок вільного планування гарноквітучими багаторічниками (Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Monarda didyma L., Thymus serpyllum L., Rudbeckia speciosa Schrad, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench., Nepeta × faasenii Bergmans ex Stearn). Трав'яний покрив запропоновано відновити шляхом підсіву посухостійкої суміші газонних трав. Завдяки реалізації проєкту на території закладу освіти з'явиться оновлена зелена зона, яка буде виконувати не тільки санітарно-гігієнічні і рекреаційні функції, а й стане невід'ємною частиною організації науково-дослідної та навчально-виховної роботи Хортицької академії.

Works on protective afforestation are carried out in order to protect agricultural land from degradation processes, as well as to improve the microclimate of land. The research purpose is to study the bioproductivity and environmental role of Robinia pseudoacacia L. forest shelterbelts in the conditions of the Kuban lowland. The approved and generally accepted methods of forest valuation, forest land reclamation, botany, and mathematical statistics were applied. Plantings were created according to the standard technology for the steppe zone of the Russian Federation. The area of forest shelterbelts is 62.4 ths ha, including 5 % of the young growth (I state class), 80 % of middle-aged forest plantings (II state class), 10 % of maturing plantings (II state class), 5 % of mature and overmature plantings (III state class). Living ground cover is formed by the following species: Koeleria pyramidata L., Poa pratensis L., Festuca pratensis H., Elytrígia repens L., Dactylis glomerata L., and Phlum pratense L. Aboveground phytomass is 100–300 g/m2; height is 25–32 cm. Plantings are characterized by the quality classes: young growth – I and II; middle-aged and maturing – III; mature and overmature – IV. At the age of natural maturity (70 years), the Robinia trunk reaches the average height of 15.1 m with the average diameter of 22.1 cm. The total stock of wood reaches 18, (ths m3), including (ths m3): young growth – 68 (ths m3); middleaged plantings – 14,871 (ths m3); maturing plantings – 2,187 (ths m3); mature and overmature plantings – 1,314 (ths m3). Aboveground phytomass in young growth is 20.2 t/ha; in mature and overmature plantings it is 391.2 t/ha. In the region it is estimated at 17,070 ths t, including (ths t): young growth – 64; middle-aged plantings – 13,753; maturing plantings – 2,032; mature and overmature plantings – 1,221. The share of stem mass reaches 84.5–80.8 %; woody greenery – 4.2–1.5 %; branches – 11.3–17.7 %. Recalculation coefficients of the stock into aboveground phytomass are the following for: young growth – 0.936; mature and overmature forest shelterbelts – 0.929. Phytosaturation of forest shelterbelts varies within 0.314–2.474 kg/m3. Forest shelterbelts have accumulated 8,534 ths t of carbon, which is estimated at 145.1 mln dollars. The sphere of application of the research results is the Krasnodar Krai forestry, which is recommended to create an additional 60 ths ha of forest shelterbelts, which will provide a normative protective forest cover of arable land of 5 % and annual carbon sequestration up to 3.4 t/ha.
