Abstract
Morphometric parameters and population characteristics of the invasive species Impatiens glandulifera in the Southern Ural Range (Republic of Bashkortostan) are analyzed. Twenty four localities of invasion in 20 districts of the Cis-Urals were examined. The density of the species in communities is 18-79 individuals per 1 m2; its biomass ranges from 1 to 9 kg/m2. The biomass share of the species reaches from 49.7 to 99.0%, i.e. this species dominates in all localities. It is established that the maximum values of morphometric parameters are characteristic of populations growing in conditions more favorable in terms of moisture availability and richness of soils, with a slight anthropogenic impact. Minimal ones are observed under conditions of a stronger anthropogenic impact (recreational load, trampling, landfills). The good adaptation of the species to different growing conditions in new habitats and the competitive advantages of I. glandulifera over local plant species were noted. There is a high probability of further settlement of the species in slightly disturbed, as well as in natural habitats along the shores of the reservoirs of the republic.
