However, new information from the Western Caucasus where unique geological features are concentrated in Mountainous Ady- geya, implies that man-made features in fact add value to geoheritage. Such features include a lengthy artificial niche in the Guama Gorge, accumulations of large artificial clasts along the road leading to the Lagonaki Highland and the Khadzhokh Quarry with the artificial Red Lake. These contribute to the regional uniqueness of geosites and can be classified as geomorphological, sedimentary, economical and hydro(geo)logical geoheritage types. Interestingly, these artificial features have natural analogues in the study area.

Schipcz. in phytocenoses of the Republic of Adygea EMILIA A. SIROTYUK, AMINET E. SHADGE & GALINA N. GUNINA Maykop State Technological University, Maykop, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received 2 October 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 5 November 2020 │ Published online 17 November 2020. Abstract Populations of Paeonia caucasica (Schipcz.) Schipcz., 1937 growing in various forest phytocenoses were discovered and studied during the monitoring of protected plant species in the Republic of Adygea. The allocation of the species to a certain range of altitudes above sea level and types of communities were defined. The ontogenetic structure and states of plants were identified, and the state of P. caucasica populations was assessed. Key words: distribution, ecological features, reproduction, populations, numbers, ontogenetic structure, limiting factors. Introduction The Republic of Adygea is located in the Northwest Caucasus, in one of the most complex natural regions of the Caucasus with a diverse flora (Fig. 1). The geographical position of the Republic has resulted in the presence of several geographical zones and vertical vegetation belts, significant landscape, phytocenotic and floristic diversity, as well as a high level of endemism and relict flora on its territory (Shadge et al. 2019, Sirotyuk 2019). According to M.D. Altukhov (Altukhov 1985) there are about 350 endemic Caucasian species in the Northwest Caucasus, which form the "face" of the flora and reflect its long-term evolution. The specially protected natural territories occupy about 30% of the territory of the Republic of Adygea and 14% of its lands are classified as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site "Western Caucasus" (Zhane 1999).

  • The Mammals of the Caucasus
    planifrons Falc. and Equus stenonis Cocchi have been identified. The breccia is underlain by a layer of doleritic lava and is covered by lacustrine sands and clays. The lake sediments are overlain by a layer of dolorite (Zaridze and Tatrishvili, 1948). Thus, in that area, the mammals lived and died during a period when the volcanos in the Lesser Caucasus were dornnant.

  • Research Article
    Ecologica Montenegrina 14: 136-142 (2017) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em Atmospheric Disturbances in the Airflow around Mountains and the Problem of Flight Safety in the Mountains of the Republic of Adygeya MURAT K. BEDANOKOV, ROZA B. BERZEGOVA, SAIDA K. KUIZHEVA Maykop State Technological University, Russia Received 29 August 2017 │ Accepted 5 October 2017 │ Published online 30 October 2017. Abstract This article considers airflow around mountain systems as a meso-scale atmospheric phenomenon. It presents a non- linear stationary dimensional theoretical model of the airflow of the North-West Caucasus Mountains, taking into account characteristics of a real mountain terrain. The article further discusses the results of the calculations of the speed field of the airflow and general regularities of the origin and the scale of the rotary-wave deformation of the airflow over the mountains. The calculation results have shown that for the model scenario I at wind speed U=15 m/s the disturbances are the most intense over the ridge crests, where they are characterized by the zone with rotors. The total length of the rotor zone downwind is more than the length of its nucleus and is close enough in value to the extent of the lee part of the terrain (downwind from the main top). The area of maximum amplitudes is located in the windward side of the rotor zone. These amplitudes are several times higher than the maximum height of the mountains. For the model scenario II (U=19 m/s) wave disturbances slightly increased in length downwind, but minimally changed in amplitude.
