Abstract

The Red Data Book of the Stavropol Territory (2013) contains materials on the distribution of rare and endangered species and their habitat in the region. Especially active research in this direction was carried out until 2001. But since the environment around us changes under human influence, the floral composition of the Stavropol Territory also changes: not only some rare species disappear, but also their populations. Since 2009, the staff of the Stavropol Botanical Garden has been involved in research work on the inventory of protected species of local flora in order to clarify their habitats and assess the current state. During the period from 2009 to 2021, we visited 12 administrative districts, conducted a survey of 22 specially protected territories of the state and regional significance and nine territories which do not have a protected status. More than 80 expedition trips were organized. At the first stages of monitoring studies, the areas of detected populations and their coordinates were determined using a GPS navigator. Scientific work on the study of the state of some protected species was carried out according to a simplified program, i.e., according to the first level of monitoring. Making one-time expedition trips, the maximum data collection was carried out for their further accumulation. The study of the age spectrum, in this case, was carried out on meter sites laid when moving along the population. Research work on the study of species in dynamics was at stationary sites. To determine the state of populations and their vitality, visits to stationary sites were planned periodically and at different times of the growing season. All data on the study of the state of populations of protected species of the the Stavropol Territory are published in annual scientific reports and articles in journals of research institutions.
