Abstract
The protected area of Dzharylhatskyi National Park is only 3% of the total area. This is not enough to preserve dynamic ecosystems that are very vulnerable to natural factors and almost impossible to restore following damage by anthropogenic factors. In the investigated area there are territories with high potential for conservation, which are characterized by the presence of species from the Red Data Book of Ukraine and International Red Lists, plant communities from the Green Data Book of Ukraine and biotopes of global significance. The proposed ten sites should receive protected status, which will bring the protected area up to the necessary minimum to preserve the rare ecosystems of the park from tourism and economic pressure, which have intensified in recent years. For the period of research in 2014–2018, 14 types of sozophytes were identified and confirmed, two of them are the highly localised species endemic to Dzharylhach Island: Molinia euxina Pobed. and Poacynum russanovii (Pobed.) Mavrodiev, A. Laktionov et Y. Alexeev. The syntaxonomic structure of the sozologically valuable coenoses is represented by two basal communities, two subassociations and 8 associations belonging to 9 alliances, 9 orders and 9 classes. Out of them, we provisionally propose the new following groups: ass. Apero maritimi-Chrysopogonetum grylli nom. prov., subass. Apero maritimi-Chrysopogonetum grylli, Stipetum borysthenicae nom. prov., subass. Cladietum marisci, Caricetum extensae nom. prov., BC Molinia euxina [Molinion caeruleae] nom. prov. The proposed sites represent 8 biotopes from Annex I of the Habitat Directive, which imposes obligations for their conservation at the world level. We carried out an analysis of the Ukrainian legislative acts, their correlation with international requirements and the zoning of the NPP “Dzharylhatskyi” in relation to these requirements and recommendations. Thus, the urgent need to expand the boundaries of the protected area of the Dzharylhatskyi National Nature Park by including distinguished protected tracts has been confirmed.
Highlights
The problem of management of recently created protected territories exists in many countries: the problems of reconciliation of previous scientific results and modern data; the issue of coordination of changes with land users in connection with the introduction of a nature reserve regime; legal conflicts related to the interpretation of legislative environmental documents (Naqinezhad, 2012; Wang et al, 2012; Kaneko & Nohara, 2014; Malchykova et al, 2009)
The Dzharylhatskyi National Nature Park is situated in Kherson Oblast of Ukraine
According to the analysis of the database of geobotany relevés for the territory of the park, vegetation mapping and localities of rare species, we propose to optimize the functional zoning of this object of the nature reserve fund
Summary
The problem of management of recently created protected territories exists in many countries: the problems of reconciliation of previous scientific results and modern data; the issue of coordination of changes with land users in connection with the introduction of a nature reserve regime; legal conflicts related to the interpretation of legislative environmental documents (Naqinezhad, 2012; Wang et al, 2012; Kaneko & Nohara, 2014; Malchykova et al, 2009). The main purposes of functional zoning are the provision of the optimal regime of use of certain parts of the territory of the national nature park, preservation and restoration of valuable natural complexes, following the normative requirements and scientific recommendations (Proekt organizacii ..., 2016). The 2016 project, which was approved and is the official document for the park, proposes one integral protected area within the borders of the Dzharylhatskyi Botanical Reserve (Proekt organizacii ..., 2016) These projects, which were thoroughly theoretically developed, faced problems of coordination with the main land user – the Skadovske DLMG State Enterprise, so the zoning that exists does not correspond to the goals and objectives of the national nature park
