Abstract

The paper deals the complex research of the biota xylotrophic ascomycetous fungi of forest ecosystems of the the seven of natural reserve funds of Ukrainian Carpathians: NNP "Synevyr", Carpathian NNP, NNP " Hutsul’shchyna", Uzhansky NNP, NNP "Skolivski Beskydy" , and Carpathian Biosphere Reserve and Nature Reserve " Gorgany" is represented. A taxonomic composition and comparative analysis of ecological and biological features of the ascomycetous fungi is determined. In total 406 taxa 389 in the rank species were recordered for the investigated region. All found species representing 190 genera, 66 families, 26 orders, 10 subclasses, 6 classes, subphylum Pezizomycotina, that belong phylum Ascomycota, and also anamorphic fungi incertae sedis Pezizomycotina.

Highlights

Conservation of any species is usually impossible without protection of habitats important for their breeding, foraging, resting etc
The analysis of Black Stork spatial distribution in relation to forest habitat types was performed in the territories of eight forestry companies in the Rivne region of Ukraine, which overlap with the Polissya nature zone and with the kernel of Black Storks highest population density, as well as with the main part of the breeding range of this species in Ukraine
Usage of forest habitats by Black Stork in Rivne region The results of the analysis show that there is a strong correlation between the Black Stork habitat selection and the general structure of forests in the region, on each of the analysis levels

Summary

Introduction

Conservation of any species is usually impossible without protection of habitats important for their breeding, foraging, resting etc. Most of them are based on the studies made in Central and East European countries [1, 4, 7, 11, 12 etc.], mostly Baltic countries, which is reasonable, taking into account the species distribution in Europe and the sizes of national populations [2, 10]. Ukraine possesses a significant part of the European Black Stork population [2, 10] and is interesting as a territory of breeding range margin, where European Forest zone borders with steppes. One study [14] was related to habitats and their changes but was mostly analytical and based on expert opinions without appropriate raw numerical data. Current publication aims to fill some of gaps in this area of Black Stork studies using GIS approach
