Abstract

The article considers the possibility of creating a long-term and self-sustaining artificial population of Globularia punctata Lapeyr. outside the natural area. The species was introduced into the Natural Botanical Garden (NBG) in the Republic of Bashkortostan (the natural monument "Mount Gurovskaya" in the Kushnarenkovsky district) by sowing seeds in 2012. The introduced experiments in the NBG showed the possibility of creating a long-term artificial population of G. punctata. In the experiment, annual flowering of plants with the formation of viable seeds is observed. The artificial coenopopulation of G. punctata is self-sustaining by self-seeding and increases in number and area. The comparison of the ontogenetic structure and the biometric indicators of plants of natural and artificial cenopopulations showed that they do not have significant differences. In the future, the seed material obtained in NBG can be used for reintroduction work in critical natural populations of G. punctata.
