Eco- logycal and cenotic features «Ulianykivski dzherela (wellsprings)» designed landscape reserve

Abstract

The main idea of forming and expanding the network of nature conservation areas is to preserve the natural complexes remains where rare and typical species and biotopes exist. In this region, important elements of the ecology network are, first of all, ravine systems and small rivers valleys that have not been cultivated for a long time due to the risk of active soil erosion. Perspective area for the landscape reserve creation is the south-eastern outskirts of the village Ulianyky in Kagarlytskyi district of Kyiv region. Physical-geographical characteristics of the hilly plain with pronounced valley and beam declines are shown for this territory. The typical elements for this territory are spacious beam relief, covered with externally leached chernozem and gray forest soils, are the surface of the runoff drained by the beam system. The watercourses of the beams flow into a weakly flowing lake located in the northern part of the village Ulianyky. Effective underground aquifers and wellsprings drain at the slopes of beams. 12 Emerald habitats have been established and described. The general assessment vegetation type diversity of the botanical component was conducted and a rare plants list of the area was made. Based on the conducted research, two species of orchids listed in the Red Book of Ukraine (Epipactis palustris (L.) Crantz, Dactylorhiza incarnata (L.) Soo) have been identified and ecological-coenotic features of their growth have been established.
