Abstract
The results of the syntaxonomical and ecological studies on plant cover at the landscape reserve «Tsetsyno» located within administrative boundaries of the city of Chernivtsi, are presented. Forest vegetation belongs to 3 associations, 2 alliances, 2 orders of the class Carpino-Fagetea sylvaticae Jakucs ex Passarge 1968. According to the synphytoindicational analysis, these communities are mesophytic, hemihydrocontrastophobic, subacidophilous, semieutrophic, nitrophilous, and hemiaerobic. In study area, communities belong to the alliance Fagion sylvaticae Luquet 1926 are prevail, and communities of the alliance Tilio-Acerion Klika 1955 are much rare. Two habitat types listed in Annex 1 of the Habitats Directive (9130 Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests and 9180*Tilio-Acerion forests of slopes, screes and ravines), аs well as one habitat listed in Resolution 4 of the Bern Convention (G1.6: Fagus woodland), are distinguished here. Moreover, 5 rare plant communities according to the Green Book of Ukraine (2009), are reported. Among vascular plants, 8 species belong to CITES, 1 species (Cypripedium calceolus L.) – to the Annex I of the Bern Convention, and 11 species – to the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009). This landscape reserve is consider as an Important Plant Area (IPA) – Tsetsyno and is a part of the regional landscape park «Chernivetskyi» (Emerald Network Area UA 0000085). The results obtained confirm significant sozological value of the landscape reserve.
