Bioresource potential of sea buckthorn phytocenes in the conditions of Southern Siberia

Abstract

The work presents the results of a long-term analysis of the resource potential of sea buckthorn phytocenoses of Tuva growing in arid conditions of Southern Siberia. The biological potential of sea buckthorn, which has environmental, consumer and economic significance for the region, has been identified. Also, up to 95.0% of the area of sea buckthorn in the natural environment was identified in Tuva. Plants growing in natural and artificial conditions have different yield indicators. On the economic side, products are presented in the form of additional income for the population. The growing conditions that form fruits depend on the ecological state of the plants. We conducted our research within the Republic of Tyva, an economically underdeveloped territory of Southern Siberia. The growing conditions are not similar in characteristics. In total, sea buckthorn grows in its natural environment in 12 administrative divisions of the district. Options for artificial phytocenoses in the Botanical Garden of Tuva State University, grown in dry steppe conditions, require intensification and adherence to correct agricultural technology. When grown in agroecosystems, constant watering of the plants is required in the first half of the growing season. To increase, most fully realize and protect the bioresource potential of sea buckthorn in the conditions of Tyva, it is advisable to carry out work on growing sea buckthorn and recommendatory types of work have been proposed.
