Full textAbstract:
Compliance with the requirements for landscape and recreational areas in urban planning and development is a prerequisite for ensuring the sanitary well-being and comfortable living of the population. Therefore, the purpose of the presented work was to assess the green and other public landscape and recreational areas within the Ivano-Frankivsk, as well as to provide recommendations for greening the city and its improvement. Theoretical research methods were applied, including the collection and systematisation of regulatory and reporting information on public landscape and recreational areas within the Ivano-Frankivsk; analysis of compliance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation; and generalisation of problems to provide recommendations for improving the city’s amenities. It has been established that as of the beginning of 2024, the total area of existing green spaces is about 126 ha and is represented by five city parks, one dendrological park, and 58 squares. There are 5.3 m2 of green space per person, which is almost twice as low as the norm (10 m2/person). In 2021-2023, the city council has planned to build 41 new squares with a total area of 31.46 ha, which will increase the specific area of green spaces to 6.6 m2/person. It was found that the average level of greenery in squares is 72%. There are seven areas and objects of the Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine in the city, and the coverage of protected areas is less than 1%. The territory of the Emerald Network “Bystrytsia Nadvirna Valley” within the city and adjacent villages has been significantly transformed and urbanised and is used as a recreation area, which may affect protected species. The city’s water bodies are only partially equipped with recreation areas. Measures to green the city and improve its amenities are proposed, including the creation of green spaces in residential neighbourhoods and along roads, the use of green elements on the walls of buildings, and the organisation of meadow parks. The practical value of the results is to highlight the current and future state of the public landscape and recreational area network in Ivano-Frankivsk and to provide reasonable recommendations for its improvement

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the author analyses the main provisions of the draft Law «On Amendments to Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving Efficiency of Protected Areas and Objects of the Nature-Reserve Fund Management» of 12th January 2023. In broad outline, the specifics of the draft law consist not just of the improvement of the regulations governing the management of protected areas, which according to the national legislation and using its terms are legally recognised as areas of the «State Nature Conservation Fund», but aims to improve regulations for management and use of other valuable nature areas. The comparative analysis of the particular provisions of the draft law with the currently effective legislation demonstrates that the amendment of the Law of Ukraine «On the Nature Conservation Fund of Ukraine» by introducing the term «protected areas» into the most of its provisions hardly correspond with other provisions of this law as well as with other legal acts of the Ukrainian legislation. The author analyses the provisions of the draft Law «On Amendments to Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving Efficiency of Protected Areas and Objects of the Nature-Reserve Fund Management» in terms of different categories of the protected areas: the Emerald Network sites, wetlands of international importance etc. As each of the categories has its own specific, the author comes to the conclusion that the process of the Regulations’ development may lead to huge bureaucracy leaving a much less space for conservation, research and other environmental protection activities. In addition, there is an essential gap in the draft law because it does not clearly establish who shall be responsible for the development of Regulations. The study pays considerable attention to legal regulations of the Emerald Network sites, which total area is twice bigger than the protected areas of all the Nature Conservation Fund belonging. The author emphasises that a specific law on the Emerald Network is required. This is caused not only by Ukraine’s commitments under the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine, but because Ukraine is a party of the Bern Convention stipulating the creation of the Emerald Network in the countries where the convention was adopted and ratified. Therefore, the draft law «On the areas of the Emerald Network» that has already been submitted to the Parliament of Ukraine would rather be adopted than the Law «On the Nature Conservation Fund of Ukraine» is extended to the Emerald Network. In the course of the study, the provisions of the draft law on the legal regime of biosphere reserves of Ukraine are analyzed, taking into account implementation of their main functions. Based on the real practice of the nature reserve fund’s functioning, the author notes that the powers and activities of the nature reserve fund state protection service are of primary importance for ensuring their regime. However, in reality, it is proposed to radically reduce its status and remove articles related to the authority of this body. There is a purposeful, unjustified sharp reduction in the role of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in the coordination and generalization of scientific research and, in general, the leveling of the scientific component in the activities of the nature reserve fund objects. The author draws attention to the fact that the problems and shortcomings of this draft law are not exhaustive. Their research and analysis will be continued in the following scientific works.

Full textAbstract:
In Ukraine, the formation of the Emerald Network, which consists of special nature conservation areas, is underway. According to the resolutions and recommendations of the EU, a management plan must be developed for the objects of the Emerald Network, which will define both short-term and long-term management goals and ways to achieve them. Ukraine is developing a legislative framework for the objects of the Emerald Network. The definition of a management plan proposed by various authors for protected areas is given. It is proposed to consider a management plan as a document that implements the development strategy of a nature reserve object with specified projects and determined financial resources that will ensure their implementation. The advantages of having management plans and the requirements for their development are outlined. An author’s approach to the development of management plans is proposed, the stages of its construction are defined. Projects for the organization of the park territory are being developed for protected objects, in particular national natural parks in Ukraine. A comparative analysis of management plans and projects of the organization was carried out. Proposals on the use of management plans in the work of nature protection institutions of Ukraine have been developed.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to assess the current condition of the nature reserve fund within Kirovohrad oblast considering the newly created administrative raions, with due regard for the regional development prospects enshrined in laws, regulations, and territorial planning documents. Open data from the nature reserve fund cadastre reveals that the development of the nature reserve fund in Kirovohrad oblast over the past 10 years has shown positive and sustainable progress in increasing the number of objects and their areas. However, the low annual growth rate of nature reserve areas has not yet allowed for the achievement of the target indicators planned for 2020 (7.1% of the oblast conservation area). Under current conditions, it is essential to accurately interpret the obtained indicators for assessing the nature reserve fund condition, with respect to regional development goals and objectives. Therefore, scales for verbal characteristics of assessment indicators have been developed. The results of the structural analysis and spatial arrangement assessment of the nature reserve fund within Kirovohrad oblast show the following characteristic features and shortcomings: territory fragmentation, low level of conservation, non-uniform territorial representation of numerous nature reserve ob- jects in the oblast (mostly small and isolated), and low to medium verbal characteristics of the assessment indicators. The comparative analysis of the nature reserve fund structure in terms of administrative and territorial regions reveals its regional features. Oleksandriya raion is characterized by a high level of conservation, with the prevailing number of objects in Kropyvnytskyi raion. In contrast, the Golovanivka raion has the worst indicators, and the Novoukrainka raion shows a very low level of conservation. The article considers the prospects for the nature reserve fund development in light of the regional development goals of Kirovohrad oblast, with specific proposals for achieving the target indicators. These include: increasing the number of nature reserve fund objects by establishing new ones in areas promising for conservation. The Emerald Network, water and wetlands, as well as forested lands, are considered the closest reserve for new nature reserve objects within the oblast.

Full textAbstract:
The nature reserve "Rotuz" is situated in the Vallet of Upper Vistula in the area of the Oświęcim Valley. The floristic rarity of the nature reserve is mud sedge Carex limosa - endangered species in Upper Silesia, included in Polish Red Book of Plants. Protected transitional moor and higmoor in the nature reserve, located at the watershed, is characterized by a strong connection with areas covered by marshy and humid confireous forests. The main goal of extension of nature reserve "Rotuz" is protection of peatmoor withe the neighbourhood which is composed as natural processes forming its natural environment and also limitation of problems associated with forest management in its vicinity. Apart from extension of the nature reserve, one emphasized on necessity of delimitation of buffer zone between the nature reserve and forest areas where there are no any rules about proper functioning of biocoenoses in the reserve. In the buffer zone, one recommended a partial extirpation of drainage ditches and placement of weir in one of them, facilitating periodical regulation of water relations.

The scale of functional zones transformations, related nature conservation regulations, vulnerability of ecosystems to human impact, PAs borders transformations, changes of ecosystem potentials (estimated in two ways: on the basis of ecosystem services value and functional zoning and PAs restrictions established by law) is assessed in case study PA—Setun valley nature reserve (Moscow, Russia). Free open-source softwares QGIS and InVEST, open-access spatial data were used. Crucial negative transformations and predominance of negative zoning areas with too mild nature protection regimes have been revealed: landscape metrics indices rise (some of them more than doubled, especially coefficient of ideal form), exclusion of some PA part and its compensations with valley parts that are lie further away from main PA part, average-weighted ecosystem potentials difference estimated in two ways is -4.8 (possible values range from -20 to +20), reduction of zones with strict nature protection restrictions from 35% to 11%. Growth of recreational potential and construction of large transport objects are the crucial causes of current negative changes in case-study reserve at the same time, construction of engineering, social and administrative facilities are the secondary causes. Associated rise of road and pedestrian network is leading to PAs cores fragmentation and decrease of its ability to complete the main reserve goal—a conservation of natural and cultural complexes and biodiversity. The results of case-study reserve transformations analysis demonstrate an imbalance in sustainable development triad “nature-society-economy” in favour of last two components.

Full textAbstract:
Tovtry is a complex of Miocene fossils reef buildups that rise in a scenic ridge and hills above the surrounding plains of Podillya region. The Tovtry zone consists of main ridge (the late Baden barrier reef), isolated Tovtry hills (the late Baden bioherms, located east of the ridge), isolated tovtry (the early Sarmat bioherms, located west of the main ridge), the territories of the former channels, lagoons and passes between hills, where the modern rivers flows. The correlation and form of relief of Tovtry zone elements are the basis of detailed geomorphologic zoning. Within geomorphological area of Podillian Tovtry distinguish three subdistricts – Zbarazh, Medobory and Kamenec-Podolsky regions. The Zbarazhky Tovtry is stretching from Pidkamin village (Lviv region) to the valley of Gnizna river and includes Mylnivskyy, Zbarazhsky and Lub’yanetskyy hills of Tovtry. Within Podillian Tovtry are 85 objects of nature reserve fund (NRF), dominated by the number of botanical (20) and geological (19) natural monuments. The largest area is occupied by National Nature Park “Podilski Tovtry” (261 316,0 ha) and nature reserve “Medobory” (9 516,7 ha) and 7 landscape reserves (2 423,2 ha). The structure of NRF of Zbarazhsky Tovtry dominated by the number of botanical (6) and geological (6) natural monuments, and the largest area is occupied by 2 zoological reserves (6 041,0 ha). The particularly valuable geologic-geomorphologic objects of Tovtry have been identified (the Tovtry main ridge areas and isolated tovtry hills, the outcrops of reef sediments, rocks, canyon sections of the river valley, waterfalls etc.), they are protected in the form of geological nature monuments “Kydanetski rocks”, “Podillian Tovtry outliers”, “Sarmat sea outliers”, “Big Saddle” and into botanic reserve “Acute grave”. Share of environmental protection objects aimed at the protection of geological and geomorphological Tovtry formations in the Zbarazhsky Tovtry NRF is less than 2 %. The creations of the regional landscape park (RLP) “Zbarazhsky Tovtry” in the territory f the main ridge and surrounding areas with isolated tovtry hills from Left Seret river valley to Stryyovetski stream valley has been proposed. The park administration should be placed in the Zbarazh, where in 1994 the historical and architectural reserve “Zbrazh” has been created. Into RLP reserve zone should be included the most outstanding areas of main ridge (natural landmark Pozharnytsya, mount Hontova, mount Zubova) and isolated tovtry hills (Lub’yanetski Tovtry). The RLP will include “MilneBlihivskyy” (3 488,0 ha) and “Maloberezovytsko-Ivanchanskyy” (2 553,0 ha) zoological reserves, 4 botanical reserves, 5 geological and 2 hydrological reserves, 4 botanical nature monuments. Two circular routes from Zbarazh for the tourism development into regional landscape park “Zbarazhsky Tovtry” have been developed. The first route includes unique historical and architectural monuments and objects of inanimate nature, and the second – botanical and zoological objects and nature monuments. The landscape reserves “Tovtry steppe” and “Stryyovetski Mountains”, geological nature monuments “Fold bordering in the reef limestones in Bilokrynytsya village”, “Kolodiyivski giants”, “Hontva Mountain” and natural landmark “Zaluzhanskyy forest” are proposed to create in Zbarazhsky Tovtry. The chain of nature reserve objects will preserve the unique geological and geomorphological formation of Zbarazhsky Tovtry region. Key words: Zbarazhsky Tovtry, main ridge, isolated tovtry hills, natural reserve fund, outstanding geology-geomorphologic objects, geotourism.

Full textAbstract:
A revision of the marine macrophytes flora of the Crimean Nature Reserve branch “Lebyazh’i ostrova” (“Swan Islands”) was carried out. The flora includes 97 species (hereinafter - including infraspecific taxa): Chlorophyta - 30, Ochrophyta - 11, Rhodophyta - 47, Tracheophyta - 7, Charophyta - 2; taxonomic structure: 8 classes, 22 orders, 31 families, 51 genera. The macrophyte flora has an oligosaprobic nature; short vegetation species dominate in terms of vegetation period duration, but perennial species have a fairly high proportion too. Among halobility groups, marine and brackish-water species prevail. Among phytogeographic groups (combined into two complexes) a warm-water complex dominates, with a high contribution of cosmopolitan species. In general, the ecological and floristic indicators of macrophytobenthos are close to those established for the Egorlytsko-Tendrovsko-Dzharylgachsko-Perekopsky hydro-botanical region of the Black Sea. The rare fraction of flora (taking into account regional, national and international nature conservation documents) includes 27 species. Within protected marine and lagoon water areas, biotopes under the special protection of the EU Habitats Directive are located (Council Directive 92/43/EEC); the nature reserve is a structural element of the Emerald Network and is designated as Wetlands of International Importance.

The development of forestry, tourism and recreation industries in the mountainous part of the Transcarpathian region contributes to the intensive manifestation of exogenous geomorphological processes. The risk of their manifestation largely depends on the morphometric characteristics of the terrain. The purpose of our research is to analyze the risks of the manifestation of erosion and other morphodynamic processes in the southeastern part of the Polonyna Rivna (Runa). A digital elevation model and morphometric maps of the steepness of the earth's surface and the exposure of the slopes of the study area were compiled. Based on it the GIS model "Risk of manifestation of erosion processes and the state of protection of the slopes of the southeastern part of Polonyna Rivne" was created. Zones with the highest degree of risk of erosion and other geomorphological processes were identified. Their areas and features of distribution were established. The results of the calculations are presented in the tables. The highest degree of risk of erosion processes is characteristic of slopes located west and south of the peaks of Hostra Hora (1,405 m) and Polonyna Runa (1,480 m), as well as in the the territory between the Latoritsa and Vycha rivers. They occupy 18.88% of the study area. The degree of protection of the geocomplexes of the slopes by the objects of the nature reserve fund, the designed structural elements of the regional ecological network of the Transcarpathian region and the Emerald network were clarified. The prospects for the creation of new multifunctional nature reserve institutions here — the regional landscape park "Polonyna Rivna" and the national landscape park "Zhdymyr" — are outlined. The purpose of creation of these environmental protection institutions is to establish nature protection management and conduct monitoring studies. In order to prevent the development of erosive and other geomorphological processes within the most erosively dangerous groups of slopes, it is necessary to prohibit the use of continuous forest felling, wood trawling by dragging, and the movement of tracked forestry and tourist vehicles (quadricycles, jeeps). Key words: Polonyna Rivna (Runa); exogenous geomorphological processes; steepness of the earth's surface; exposure of slopes; nature reserve objects; ecological network; Emerald network.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide additional information on the non-Passerine bird fauna and populations in the Bolsherechensky Nature Reserve, specifically within the Bolshaya Rechka River valley. Located in Altai Krai, the reserve occupies a typical territory of the Upper Ob forest massif. Protecting the habitats of rare and endangered bird species is one of the primary goals of the reserve. However, despite previous studies, our understanding of the avifauna and bird populations remains insufficient. To address this, we conducted bird surveys in the reserve during spring and summer of 2012, 2013, 2017, and 2021, specifically within the Bolshaya Rechka River valley. The results revealed that the summer breeding community of non-Passerine birds in the Bolsherechensky reserve consists of 48 species from 18 families and 12 orders. Additionally, we discovered 11 rare and endangered bird species previously unrecorded in the reserve. In particular, seven of these species lack specific distribution information in the latest regional Red Data Books, including the Black stork (<em>Ciconia nigra</em>), Oriental honey buzzard (<em>Pernis ptilorhynchus</em>), Peregrine falcon (<em>Falco peregrinus</em>), Red-footed falcon (<em>Falco vespertinus</em>), Common wood pigeon (<em>Columba palumbus</em>), Eurasian pygmy owl (<em>Glaucidium passerinum</em>), and European bee-eater (<em>Merops apiaster</em>). In general, our study significantly improves our knowledge of the non-Passerine bird fauna and population of non-Passerine birds in the lower reaches of the Bolshaya Rechka River within the Bolsherechensky Nature Reserve. The findings are valuable for the improvement of biodiversity protection measures.

As a result of monitoring research conducted in 2015-2017 on the territory of the nature reserve “Yelanetskyi steppe" and adjacent areas, 5 amphibian species (fire-bellied toad, green toad, common spadefoot, marsh frog, H. arborea) and 7 species of reptiles (sand lizard, green lizard, blotched snake, large whipsnake, grass snake, dice snake, pond turtle). The presence of some of the species specified in the project of the reserve creation, namely pond turtle, green lizard, large whipsnake, steppe viper, common toad and common newt has not been confirmed on the reserve's territory. The presence of 8 species was registered directly on the territory of the reserve, and another 4 species were registered in the vicinity of the rivers Gromokliya and Gniloy Yelanets. The most numerous among the identified amphibians are the semi-terrestrial species, such as the common spadefoot and the marsh frog. Sand lizard is the most widespread reptile species within the reserve territory and its population is characterized by an exceptional variety of coloration morphology. It should be noted that for more than a 30-year period a unique numerous population of the blotched snake has been preserved here. According to original data, more than two dozen snake specimens were registered in the vicinity of the Rosa beam. Due to climatic changes, it is proposed to expand the reserve's territory in ecotone river areas where there are finds of blotched snakes and large whipsnakes (RBU, 2009), green lizards (RBU, 2009) and pond turtles (IUCN (LR/NT)) to conserve biodiversity and protect rare species. In particular, the expansion of the boundaries of the reserve is necessary in the context of climate change, as it leads to a shift in the natural habitats of certain amphibian and reptile species, and is also an important step towards the expansion of the Emerald Network of Ukraine

To investigate the effects of valley topography on the acoustic transmission of avian vocalisations, we carried out playback experiments in Daqinggou valley, Inner Mongolia, China. During the experiments, we recorded the vocalisations of five avian species, the large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos Wagler, 1827), common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus Linnaeus, 1758), Eurasian magpie (Pica pica Linnaeus, 1758), Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus Linnaeus, 1758), and meadow bunting (Emberiza cioides Brand, 1843), at transmission distances of 30 m and 50 m in the upper and lower parts of the valley and analysed the intensity, the fundamental frequency (F0), and the first three formant frequencies (F1/F2/F3) of the sounds. We also investigated bird species diversity in the upper and lower valley. We found that: (1) at the distance of 30 m, there were significant differences in F0/F1/F2/F3 in Eurasian magpies, significant differences in F1/F2/F3 in the meadow bunting and Eurasian tree sparrow, and partially significant differences in sound frequency between the upper and lower valley in the other two species; (2) at the distance of 50 m, there were significant differences in F0/F1/F2/F3 in two avian species (large-billed crow and common cuckoo) between the upper and lower valley and partially significant differences in sound frequency between the upper and lower valley in the other three species; (2) there were significant differences in the acoustic intensities of crow, cuckoo, magpie, and bunting calls between the upper and lower valley. (3) Species number and richness were significantly higher in the upper valley than in the lower valley. We suggested that the structure of valley habitats may lead to the breakdown of acoustic signals and communication in birds to varying degrees. The effect of valley topography on acoustic communication could be one reason for animal species avoiding deep valleys.

The Racławka Valley is located west of Krakow, in the Krakow-Częstochowa Upland. This is a place of high bio- and geodiversity, where various rocks of different ages outcrop in vast excavation pits, narrow gorges or form characteristic monadnocks. The richness of various morphological forms and special habitats led to the constitution of a nature reserve, covering most of the Racławka Valley and adjacent, southern parts of the Szklarka Valley. Three educational trails lead through the reserve, connecting a number of geosites. The Geotourism Students’ Scientific Club (GSSC) from AGH University of Science and Technology examined the usability of these trails for geoeducation. After completing geotourism valorisation, adequate teaching materials were prepared, and different age groups were guided around the trails. Their comprehension has been verified by quizzes and opinions gathered through questionnaires. On the bases of these, the three educational trails were widely described and assessed in respect for their terrain difficulty, accessibility, and infrastructure. Each trail has a leitmotif and a specific theme, however geosites from different trails can be combined together to get a route of a chosen theme. The GSSC also released three new geotourism guidebooks, one for each trail, as a result of AGH rector's grant projects in the years 2018–2020.

Full textAbstract:
Olyokma Nature Reserve, where we conducted our research, is in Eastern Siberia in the middle taiga zone in an area characterized by continuous permafrost. This is the only protected area in the region with a complete reserve regime, where there is no human activity. Here, we studied 14 different types of water bodies located along the Olyokma River valley, 13 of which were studied for the first time. For some of the studied water bodies, a high content of biogenic elements was noted, which may be associated with the characteristics of permafrost water bodies, which are under nutrient release from permafrost thaw. The concentration of several biogenic elements, including ammonium, nitrates and phosphates, increases in the water of the lakes toward the bottom of the river valley. In the composition of various communities of these water bodies, including both planktonic and non-planktonic, we identified 246 species and varieties of microalgae. The abundance and biomass of phytoplankton, as well as the number of species, decreased down the river valley. At the same time, at the upper stations there were more diatoms; while at the stations down the valley, green algae came to the fore; and even lower down, cyanobacteria prevailed. At the lower stations, the indicators of microalgae development were minimal. In accordance with the bioindicative properties of microalgae, a decrease in the trophic status of water bodies was noted down the river valley, which, in our opinion, is a characteristic feature of the waters of an undisturbed catchment basin in the permafrost area. This indicates that the studied aquatic ecosystem changes within a set of environmental and biological indicators, that is, it exists in natural conditions for this catchment basin. Research on the territory of Olyokma Nature Reserve allowed us to obtain information on natural transformation and removal of nutrients in permafrost catchments, while excluding the likelihood of anthropogenic impact on these processes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The ‘Mierzwice’ nature reserve (forest district 206b, c and d of the Sarnaki Forest Inspectorate), situated in the area of the Podlaski Przełom Bug Landscape Park, is one of the most valuable natural assets of the central Bug river valley. The 12.98 ha reserve was established in 2010 to aid protection of the stand of xerothermic vegetation and its surrounding deciduous forest. In total, eight plant associations were identified within the reserve: Geranio-Peucedanetum cervariae, Geranio-Anemonetum sylvestris, Geranio-Trifolietum alpestris, Trifolio medii-Agrimonietum, Rubo fruticosi-Prunetum, Rhamno-Cornetum sanguinei, Potentillo albae-Quercetum and Tilio cordatae-Carpinetum betuli. Furthermore, 23 protected and 31 endangered species were found in the reserve including the following examples: Cephalanthera rubra, Thesium ebracteatum, Cypripedium calceolus, Gentiana cruciata, Anemone sylvestris, Cimicifuga europaea, Viola rupestris, Crepis praemorsa, Asperula tinctoria, Stachys recta, Laserpitium latifolium. Over the last few years, a regression of the species diagnostic number for thermophilous oak forests and xerothermic grasslands has been observed as a result of succession and expansion of Calamagrostis epigejos. Active protection of xerothermic vegetation such as uprooting of trees and bushes, regular grazing or mowing has been suggested in order to prevent the expansion of Calamagrostis epigejos.

The Emerald Network of Ukraine provides the preservation of the most valuable and typical components of landscape and biotic diversity, including the habitats of rare and endangered species of plants. In order to ensure the effective protection of biodiversity, within the boundaries of natural or anthropogenically modified territories, the necessary condition for their flora diversity should be its study. One of the territories that is the central link in the structure of the ecological network of Ukraine is the Dnipro Ecological Corridor. Within the Dnipro ecological corridor of the forest–steppe of Ukraine are located 11 objects of the Emerald network, which is 4% of their total number in Ukraine, which are characterized by specific biotope–ecotope characteristics and which consist of a significant number of populations of endangered and rare plant species. As a result of the analysis the objects of the Emerald network, 33 habitats from Resolution No. 4 of the Bern Convention were identified (C1.222, C1.223, C1.224, C1.225, C1.226, C1.25, C1.32, C1.33, C1.3411, C1.3413, C1.67, C2.33, C2.34, C3.4, C3.51 (but excluding C3.5131), D5.2, E1.2, E1.9, E2.2, E3.4, E5.4, E6.2, F3.247, F9.1, G1.11, G1.21, G1.22, G1.3, G1.7, G1.8, G1.A1, G3.4232, X35) and 69 species of vascular plants, that belong to such protective lists : Annex I of the Bern Convention – 12, Resolution No. 6 of the Emerald Network – 11, the Red Book of Ukraine – 56 and the European Red List – 8 species. In Emerald objects, they are distributed in this way: Kanivskyi Nature Reserve – 40 species and 25 habitats, Holosiivskyi National Nature Park – 29 and 23, Nyzhnovorsklianskyi Regional Landscape Park – 26 and 21, Nyzhniosulskyi National Nature Park – 27 and 28, Kremenchutski Plavni Regional Landscape Park – 5 and 19, Kremenchutske Reservoir – 17 and 28, Kanivske Reservoir – 16 and 27, Dniprodzerzhynske Reservoir – 5 and 21, Ponyzia Stuhny – 8 and 10, Cherkaskyi Bir – 17 and 17, Mykhailivskyi – 10 and 22, respectively. Preservation and reproduction of rare species is one of the main tasks of creation the protected areas and ecological networks. An overview of the specific features of these objects and the existing conditions for conservation of biodiversity in general suggests that the considered areas, despite their very significant anthropogenic transformation, can be considered as important aspect of preservation and reproduction of rare vegetation diversity in the scale of the plains of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
According to the results of a study of the valley of the river Khmelivka near the Basivka and Pshinchyne villages, Romny district, Sumy region the biodiversity was firstly characterized and the creation of the reserve with the local value named «Pshinchyne» was offered. 
 Flora, vegetation and fauna of the territory were studied with the usage of recognized floristical, geobotanical, zoological methods, reconnaissance and route-detailed in particular. We investigated that the dominating part of this valley territory is covered by the air-watered vegetation represented by the mono-groups of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.). Peat meadows are spread with the domination of Deshampsia caespitosa (L.) P. Beauv.). Meadow-steppe groups dominate on the two barrows with the major abundance of Elytrigia repens (L.) Nevski, Festuca valesiaca Gaudin, Festuca pratensis Huds., Poa pratensis L., Carex hirta L. We marked that within the river valley the trees Alnus glutinosa L. (Gaerth.), Salix fragilis L., Populus tremula L., Salix triandra L., Salix pentandra L. are actively spread. 
 The analisys of the fauna of the territory showed that at the riverbed part Rana ridibund and Rana arvalis are spread. Natrix natrix occurred at the coastal part. At the land part it was pointed the representatives of Capreolus capreolus, Lepus europaeus, Vulpes vulpes.
 The sozological value of the proposed reserve «Pshinchyne» consists of the 2 flora species declared in the Red book of Ukraine ‒ Dactylorhiza incarnata (L.) Soó. і Dactylorhyza fuchsii (Druce) Soо. and 23 plant species represented in the Red list of IUCN with the LC range of protection. Among the fauna there are 27 species with the IUCN protection status with the LC range, among them – 19 belong to the lists of annexes II and III of Bern convention. The results of conducted geographic-aesthetical and psycho-aesthetical rating bear evidence to high aesthetical value of the landscape of the river valley Khmelivka near Basivka and Pshinchyne villages and confirmed the expediency of this territory to be included to the nature reserve fund of Sumy region.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the implementation of the management of the Nature reserve fund of Ukraine (NRF) territories without a special administration. Management of such territories involves non-state management of it through the landowner or land user. This approach is new for the NRF, although it is сommon in the global nature conservation practice, in particular, it is one of the key approaches of the Natura 2000 network and the Emerald network. The actual area of protected areas without special administration is almost 29% of the area of the NRF, so the issue of their reasonable management is one of the key issues for the entire protected network. The approach to the management of such territories is outlined in the article by landscape reserve (“zakasnyk”) of national importance “Kozinskyi” case study. In particular, areas of priority activities have been allocated, which is essentially similar to zoning in national natural parks, but implemented within the limits of the national legislation provided specifically for “zakaznyk” (national protected area category which is equal to IUCN protected area categories IV or V). Three types of areas have been identified; (1) nature protection; (2) ecological; (3) educational and recreational. The second important feature of the approach presented in the article is the planning and implementation of protected area management measures through the public organization (“Green Wave”), which essentially plays the role of a land user. Practical management measures were outlined in the “Program of Development and Recreational Activities of the Landscape Reserve of National Importance “Kozynskyi” with a Plan for Arrangement of the Reserve Site at the Location of the Golf Course.”

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the vegetation map of the “Lindulovskaya Roshcha” Nature Reserve (Fig. 1, 2), which is located in the Vyborg district, Leningrad Region (Karelian Isthmus). The reserve was organized in 1976 to protect the Lindulovskaya larch ship grove with the world’s oldest tree plantings. The idea of planting larch in the suburbs of St. Petersburg, necessary for the needs of shipbuilding, belonged to Peter the Great. However, it was possible to implement this project only in 1738, when the first planting of Siberian larch seeds collected in the Arkhangelsk region was carried out on agricultural land near the Lindulovka River (Roshchinka River at the present). There are 5 stages of larch planting in the reserve (Table 1). The age of the oldest plantings is 280 years, the youngest — about 40 years (see Fig. 4). Currently larch plantations occupy about 50 hectares. In addition to larch (Larix sibirica, L. dahurica, L. decidua) other tree species were planted in the 1920s: Pinus murrayana, Thuja plicata, Quercus robur, Ulmus glabra. In 1990 the “Lindulovskaya Roshcha” was included in the list of cultural heritage sites of UNESCO (“The historical centre of St. Petersburg and associated complexes of monuments”), as a place of growth of the oldest artificial plantations of larch in Russia and Europe. In order to study the patterns of distribution of plant communities, a vegetation map of the reserve was compiled for the first time on a scale of 1 : 50 000. 23 types of plant communities have been identified, of which 12 were natural and 11 were introduced (Fig. 3). The areal analysis showed that spruce forests occupy the largest areas (76 %), pine forests – 12 %, birch forests – 5 %; larch plantings account for 5 % of the territory (Table 2). Studies have shown that the species diversity of larch forests is much higher than in spruce stands, growing in similar conditions. The species composition of vascular plants of larch forests includes about 25–30 species, and in spruce forests – less than 10 species. It can be explained by the smaller closeness of larch stands compared to spruce ones and richer soils with a fairly powerful humus horizon. The vital condition of larch stands varies in plantings. On the one hand, this is due to the difference in the places of growth: in wetter habitats (on floodplain terraces) larch grows worse than on drained plains or valley slopes. On the other hand, the condition of larch stands is influenced by historical events and various planting methods. The deterioration of the condition of the larch was caused by military actions during the Second World War, when a large number of trees on the slopes of Roshchinka River valley were damaged and destroyed. In the post-war years, small areas were planted surrounded by spruce forests, which led to the fact that larch grew in less favourable conditions (competition from spruce increased) than earlier plantings on agricultural land or large cuttings.

This paper discusses problems related to the protection and future of nature reserves in urbanized areas on the example of Gorzowskie Murawy nature reserve. The reserve was created in 2006 in the southwestern part of Gorzów Wielkopolski, within the moraine hills with varied relief and in the zone of the Warta valley. The subject of protection are xerothermic grassland, which are very rare in Poland and Europe. The unique nature of the vegetation found here is influenced by specific abiotic conditions (topography, soil, slope exposure, sunlight), but also by specific methods of use in the past – the area was used as a sheep grazing area, and then as military training ground. The problem of the functioning of this area is the functional and spatial conflict between the need to protect nature and the existing anthropogenic pressure, resulting mainly from meeting the recreational needs of residents.

Floodplain valley of the Dnieper river midstream is a unique natural complex, having a great bìogeographical, ecological, environmental, historical and recreational values. In 1990, the Natural reserve «Dniprovsko-Orilsky» was established within the area. The Natural reserve «Dniprovsko-Orilsky» is environmentally protected site within the Dnipropetrovsk region, Dnipropetrovsk oblast, Ukraine. This reserve occupies part of the Dnieper river valley and marshy and reedy banks of Protovch river (existing bed of Oril river). It was created by Regulation of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of 15 September 1990, No. 262, based on common zoological and ornitological Nature reserves «Taromskì plavni» and «Obukhovskie zaplavy». On the territory of the Natural reserve «Dniprovsko-Orilsky», they were registered 32 Lepidoptera species listed in the List of Threatened Species at different categories (5 species in IUCN Red List ; 18 in Red Data Book of Ukraine; 7 in European Red List of plants and animals endangered on a global scale; 31 in Red Book of Dnipropetrovsk oblast). The main scientific materials were author’s collections from area of research and materials of entomological funds, Department of Zoology and Ecology, Oles Honchar Dnipropetrovsk National University (mostly Memorial Collection of V. O. Barsov). Field surveys covered all the ecosystems basic on size and degree of protection. The author’s researches have conducted over the past decade during annual expeditions to the Reserve. Taxonomic structure of the complex is quite diverse, and represented by all the major families of higher millers and rhopalocera, having protectedstatus. In relation to taxonomy, this complex formed by representatives of five superfamilies (Zyganoidea, Noctuoidea, Bombycoidea, Hesperioidea, Papilionoidea) from 11 families (Zygaenidae, Saturniidae, Sphingidae, Noctuidae Arctiidae Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Satyridae, Lycaenidae). High taxonomic diversity can be explained by unique geographical location of the reserve in azonal conditions of the Dnieper river valley. Such location allows to enter different zoogeographic Lepidoptera groups on the reserve territory. Zoogeographic analysis of species protected within the reserve territory selected 7 basic groups. It was found that most of the globally rare species have Mediterranean origin (39 %); species of Palearctic origin are in second place (22 %); Western Palearctic and Ponto-Kazakh types of areas are same of number of species, and come third (11 %); and others come 17 % (European, Euro-Siberian, and Holarctic). This fauna component is specific due to presence of so-called «northern» species that make up 40 % (representatives of Palearctic, Western Palearctic, Euro-Siberian, European and Holarctic groups). Their existence within the reserve territory is only possible due to development of boreal valley ecosystems.

Specially protected natural areas in urban area are significant elements of green infrastructure, since they not only serve as a buffer zone or biodiversity conservation hotspot but also provide a large number of ecosystem services (mainly regulating, supporting, and cultural). At the same time, natural geosystems of protected areas in urbanized territories experience a complex negative anthropogenic impact: chemical and physical pollution, reduction of unsealed territories, violation of the landscape aesthetic, etc. “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve in Moscow on the picturesque slopes of the Moscow River valley has a unique biodiversity for a large city (more than 35 species of herbaceous plants and the same number of bird species living in the specially protected natural area are listed in the Red Book of Moscow), as well as a rich historical and cultural heritage. However, nowadays the nature reserve is under great anthropogenic pressure associated, among other things (such as air pollution, surface runoff, etc.), with changes in the land-use structure (construction of a new sports complex, installation of additional lighting poles, laying of new roads), installation of artificial landscape lighting systems, etc. All this leads to adverse changes in “Vorobyovy Gory” nature reserve ecosystems, which can lead to the loss of its conservation functions. The analysis of land-use dynamics on intensively transformed areas of the nature reserve was presented, endangered species of plants and animals were identified in this work.

Since 2020, the "Osredak" Special Nature Reserve has been a protected natural area of the Republic of Serbia, of regional, i.e. great importance. It is situated in central Serbia, along both banks of the West Morava. The area was designated as protected in order to conserve the bog habitats of the Morava River valley, as well as old bayous, ponds and lakes, which were created by decades of gravel extraction. The public-utility company "Kruševac" manages this area, and at its request, cooperation was established with the Istitute for fodder crops Kruševac in order to update the Reserve's flora inventory, with an emphasis on protected plant species, but also on invasive alien species. A list of all plant taxa that have been recorded in the Reserve so far (169 species) and specific solutions that might contribute to the conservation and improvement of natural values of the "Osredak" special nature reserve have also been included in this paper.

. The impact of wars on the environment is always adverse, regardless of whether it is caused by direct military action or strategic countermeasures. The overall environmental damage caused by a particular war is the result of many factors and is often multidimensional, as water bodies, forests, air, soils, and all living organisms are affected.
 During the five months of the war, our country suffered enormous environmental damage. It will take decades to restore Ukrainian nature. Today, active hostilities are taking place in the south of Ukraine in nature conservation steppes with unique ecosystems, which will take at least 50 years to restore. Among the objects of the nature reserve fund of the Mykolaiv Oblast that suffered due to the war, there are sections of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve, the Regional Landscape Park "Kinburnska Kosa" and the National Nature Park "Biloberezhya Svyatoslav". Even in the first days of the war, Russian troops entered the Kinburn Peninsula, after which fires broke out that threatened the existence of rare species of flora and fauna. In addition, large populations of animals and plants were so exterminated by numerous explosions throughout the territory of Ukraine that we may now lose them forever and irrevocably.
 Today, 2.5 million hectares of Europe's nature conservation network are under threat of destruction due to the actions of the russian federation. These are 160 objects of the Emerald Network - territories of existence of species and habitats protected at the pan-European level. And there are 17 Ramsar sites with an area of 627.3 thousand hectares - wetlands of international importance.

Forest fires are increasingly becoming the cause of the destruction of a particular ecosystem or landscape, the restoration of which takes quite a long time. Research on pyrogenic succession is one of the urgent tasks in modern science. In the course of this work, an analysis of vegetation restoration on the territory of the Barguzin Nature Reserve was carried out. After a grass-roots fire on the ecological trails of the Shumilikha River valley and on the Davshinsky pillars, the course of pyrogenic succession was monitored from 2016 to 2019. The study of the progress of vegetation restoration was carried out on the laid test sites on each of the trails. In the course of the work, geobotanical descriptions were made, an abundance of species diversity was revealed, and the total projective cover was also taken into account. In the first year after the fire, such species as Chamerion angustifolium L., Calamagrostis korotkyi L., Bergenia crassifolia (L.) Fritsch., Calamagrostis obtusata Trin., etc. were found on trial sites. During the first three years of succession, it was revealed that the species composition and wealth were not constant and changed every year. At the same time, there was an increase in the projective coverage during the first three years (from 10 to 30% in the valley of the Shumilikha River, from 15 to 45% on the Davshinsky pillars). An increase in the total projective coverage in the studied areas indicates a general restoration of the landscape.

The Erebidae of Jordan were collected by fixed UV light traps from localities representing the main ecological zones of Jordan. The duration of the traps ranged from several weeks to more than 2 years for some locations. The traps were placed in Dibeen Nature Reserve (North Jordan), Al Shoumari Nature Reserve (Eastern Desert), Dana Nature Reserve (South Jordan). Traps were also placed in two University of Jordan farms in the Central Jordan Valley and one near Amman in the high lands. Some traps were placed in or near private farms or gardens. Specimens of Erebidae collected previously from Jordan and deposited in the University of Jordan Insect Museum (UJIM) were examined. As a result of this research, a large collection for the members of this family was established in the UJIM, which is the largest collection in the country so far. A total of 20 species in 12 genera were recorded from the different parts of Jordan. Catocala separata (Freyer, 1848) and Autophila ligaminosa (Eversmann, 1851) are new to Jordan. The data contributed to our knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of the Jordanian Erebidae. Available biological, ecological, distributional or zoogeographical data are given.

The Jedlový důl Nature Reserve is located in the central part of the Jizerské hory PLA near the village of Josefův Důl in northern Bohemia. The reserve protects a geomorphologically important mountain valley with rocks, waterfalls, semi-natural forests on talus slopes, and rare montane plant and animal species. The local mountain biotopes are quite acidophilic, represented by a few springs, mountain brook, beech woods, and mixed talus slope forests with the predominance of spruce. Thus the surveyed malacofauna with 18 species (17 terrestrial gastropods and 1 bivalve) is relatively poor. Currently, forest and ubiquitous species are dominant there and are widespread in the Jizerské hory PLA.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article deals with trophic migrations of the brown bear in the characteristic forest landscapes of the Vostochny Nature Reserve. Active life of a bear in the reserve begins after hibernation and is directly related to foraging in different seasons of the year. In the spring-early summer period, bears concentrate in valley forest complexes and coastal-marine landscapes, where, along with plant food, they obtain various products of animal origin thrown out of the sea. During the summer period, from the beginning of the course of salmon and until the end of their spawning, the animals mainly live in the mouths of rivers, and as the fish move, they go upstream and are distributed among their numerous tributaries. During the autumn period, bears concentrate mainly in mountainous forest landscapes and high-altitude natural complexes of the reserve, where they eat ripe berries and pine nuts, their trophic migrations are significantly reduced.

Abstract The study established the classification position of the soils of the Dnipro River valley (within the Dnipro-Orilsky Nature Reserve) according to the international WRB classification. The pits were laid along three transects that passed through the most significant relief gradients within the study area. The study of the morphological structure of 20 soil profiles showed that the soil cover is closely related to the geo-morphological structure of the river valley. The morphological characteristics of typical profiles of these soils reflect their structure, properties and genesis and determine the classification position of the soils according to the WRB. Multidimensional scaling allowed us to perform soil ordination in the space of two dimensions. Dimension 1 differentiates soils by the gradient of relief height and/or moisture level. Dimension 2 differentiated hydromorphic soils. The properties of Quaternary sediments were found to determine the position of soils at both levels of classification (reference groups, main and additional classifiers). The distribution of each of the reference groups is clearly related to the geomorphology of the valley. Arenosols and Cambisols form the soil cover of the floodplain terrace, while Fluvisols and Gleysols are found mainly in the floodplain.

Abstract The aim of the research was to estimate changes in soil properties caused by intensive recreation and tourism in protected areas within the urban borders of Rzeszów (south-east Poland). The research was conducted on two objects: (1) on protected areas of the Lisia Góra Nature Reserve and (2) along the Wisłok Valley. The difference in anthropopressure between the areas was taken into consideration. Soil penetration resistance and moisture were analysed in the spring and autumn period. Soil texture, pH, total carbon, and electrical conductivity (EC) in a 1:10 soil:water suspension were measured in soil material collected in spring. The ion content (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+) was measured in the same suspension with an ion chromatograph. There were significant correlations (determined by the Pearson coefficient) between soil acidity, EC, total exchangeable bases, ions of calcium and magnesium, and soil penetration resistance. A significant difference was found in soil penetration resistance between objects (higher in the Wisłok Valley area) and between the distances from the border of the intensively managed area (a decrease as the distance increased). The Z coefficient (the ratio of sodium ions, the sum of calcium and magnesium ions) was significantly lower for the the Lisia Góra Nature Reserve sites.
