Biodiversity of the projected zakaznyk «Govorunivsky»
Abstract
According to the results of the field researches, the state of the natural complexes of the territory (about 140 hectares) within the Yampil administrative district of Sumy region is characterized, the expediency of creation of a landscape reserve of the local value "Govorunovsky" in the studied territory is determined.
Based on the analysis of flora and vegetation, it has been established that most of the territory of the proposed reserve is occupied by peaty meadows dominated by Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv and a number of typical meadow and meadow-swamp species. They are also growing here Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim., Lysimachia vulgaris L., Veratrum lobelianum Bernh., Cicuta virosa L., Alopecurus pratensis L., Festuca pratensis Huds., Juncus conglomeratus L., Carex hirta L., Ranunculus acris L., Achillea submillefolium Klok. et Krytzka, Epilobium palustre L., Geum urbanum L., Galium mollugo L., Stellaria graminea L., Potentilla anserina L., Humulus lupulus L. In the more dry areas which are strip-shaped along the northern boundary of the projected reserve and, accordingly, the pine forest, grassy groups formed with the dominance of Agrostis canina L. or Nardus stricta L.
It is noted that quite active natural restoration of tree species, such as Pinus sylvestris L., Betula pendula Roth, Pyrus communis L., occurs throughout the area of the proposed reserve.
It has been shown that the sozological value of the reserve lies in the presence of typical for the floodplains of small rivers of Polissya natural complexes, as well as the presence in the flora of the species of the Red Book of Ukraine ‒ Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Druce) Soo, a number of valuable medicinal plants (Valeriana exaltata J. C. Mikan, Sanquisorba officinalis L., Achillea submillefolium Klock. et Krytzka, Mentha arvensis L., Thymus marschallianus Willd., Potentilla erecta (L.) Raeusch. etc.).
