Abstract
One of the elements that ensure the sustainability of the environment is the vegetation cover. The vegetation cover contributes to the balanced functioning of ecosystems. It is the national parks rich in phytodiversity that attract the attention of scientists. The article presents an ecological analysis of the flora of the Kremenets Mountains National Park. The research was carried out in the areas of the mountains Divochi Skeli, Strakhova, Masliatyn, Chercha, Zamkova, Bozha. 10 florocoenotypes were identified in the study areas. The most numerous is the nemoral forest coenotype. The flora was analyzed for abiotic factors such as light, temperature, humidity, soil. It is these indicators that have an important impact on the formation of vegetation cover and the life processes of plants. It was found that facultative heliophytes, mesothermal plants, mesophytes, and mesotrophs predominate in the study areas. The vegetation cover has clear forest-steppe features. The classification of life forms of plants is given. Relicts and endemics are confined to steppe and calcepetrophilic areas. Flora synanthropization is observed on the study areas.
Highlights
Vegetation cover as an autotrophic component provides energy through photosynthesis and together with the heterotrophic component is the key to the normal functioning of ecosystems
An important indicator of the ecological characteristics of phytocenoses is their relation to abiotic factors of the environment, and plant life forms, which are important for plant life, since they affect the course of physiological, biochemical and other processes
The definition of the species composition and the nomenclature of Latin names are filed according to Chronicle of the nature of the Kremenets Mountains National Nature Park [7] and Keys to higher plants of Ukraine [8]
Summary
Vegetation cover as an autotrophic component provides energy through photosynthesis and together with the heterotrophic component is the key to the normal functioning of ecosystems. From an ecological point of view, the results of these processes and their impact on the overall ecosystem process are important [3, 4] It is important the environmental stabilization value of vegetation cover, soil-protecting, water-saving, landscape, aesthetic, scientific and educational. Many rare and endangered plant species are consortium associated with rare representatives of the animal world The study of their ecological and biotic properties contribute to the preservation of populations of endangered species of fauna [5, 6]. Aboriginal species and their populations, which make up the natural flora, are concentrated in groups united by a common growth conditions and ecological-coenotic relationships, forming certain florocoenotypes. An important indicator of the ecological characteristics of phytocenoses is their relation to abiotic factors of the environment (especially light, temperature, humidity and soil), and plant life forms, which are important for plant life, since they affect the course of physiological, biochemical and other processes
