Типологічне різноманіття лісів на річці Сіверський Донець було проведено на основі матеріалів лісовпорядкування із використанням електронних баз даних ВО «Укрдержліспроекту». Проаналізовано понад 27 типів лісу на дослідному об’єкті площею 228,2 тис. га. Зроблено класифікацію типів умов росту лісів, типів лісів та видів дерев на водозборі річки Сіверський Дін на території Луганської області. Визначено, що площі дуба звичайного та сосни звичайна становить відповідно – 86,9 тис. га і – 70,9 тис. га. Серед типів лісу домінують наступні: суха берестово-пакленова дiброва (30,8 %), свiжий дубово- сосновий субiр (13,1 %), суха чорнокленова судіброва (12,9 %), свiжий сосновий бiр (10,6 %). -

In this regard, it is necessary to implement comprehensive measures to prevent and reduce the deterioration of water quality, to develop the effective methods of removing the phosphorus-containing substances from wastewater, to conduct constant monitoring (through automated observation posts) of surface water quality with timely manage- ment decisions. The adsorption properties of granular composite materials based on glauconite were investigated The composite granular glauconite materials with sunflower husk adsorbent have been found to be most effective. The efficiency of wastewater treatment was 78%. Keywords: enriched glauconite, activated -

Poluda2016.Etflade Ukraine
1 2 Summary In 2016 most important breeding areas of both population groups of Aquatic Warbler in Ukraine were surveyed. In particular, 6 breeding areas of the Desna- Dnipro population were visited from 30 th May till 4th June (5 evening censuses). Two persons participated in the survey. Monitoring of the Prypiat population groups was held on 14-25 th June, and 10 evening censuses were carried out. During this period, the number of survey participants ranged from 4 to 17 persons. The survey involved 2 ornithologists from Germany, 8 – from Lithuania, 4 – from Poland, 5 – from Ukraine. The censuses covered 435 ha of all 1,090-1,190 ha of suitable habitats in the breeding sites of Desna-Dnipro population, where the surveys were carried out (total area of suitable habitats is 1,180-1,280 ha). 48 males were recorded there. In breeding sites of Prypiat population 724 males were recorded on 2,889 hectares. This is about 49.7% of the total area of suitable habitats in the breeding sites (5,765-5,865 ha), where the surveys were carried out, or ~ 43% of the total area of suitable habitat of the Prypiat population (6,615-6,715 ha). During the survey of the breeding sites of the Desna-Dnipro population hydrological conditions were optimal for most parts of them – they were significantly better than in 2014-2015. Importantly, during April and early May the water level in the AW habitats was significantly lower than during our investigation. Heavy rains during the second half of May led to a rise of the water level in the habitats. -

Accepted: 21.04.2020 The national ecological network is being developed in Ukraine to create pan-European ecological network. The legislative framework is adopted, the network of nature reserve fund objects is expanded, and ecological corridors of national and regional significance are formed. The Dnieper Ecological Corridor is one of the largest ones in Ukraine and has trans-boundary significance. Thus, the priority task is to study flora, fauna, and natural habitats of the region in order to preserve and reproduce the rare components of biotic and landscape diversity. To fulfill these tasks, the Emerald Network was created. It includes territories of special nature conservation significance. The Emerald Network of Ukraine ensures conservation of the most valuable and typical components of landscape and biotic diversity, including habitats of rare and endangered animals and plants species. These areas include natural objects in the valley of the forest steppe part of Dnieper River basin, where there is a combination of reservoirs cascade with the remnants of the Dnieper flood plain and mouth areas. -

Recent Update of Mysid (Mysida) Species Composition in the Dnieper Reservoir, South-Eastern Ukraine, a Source of Several Crustacean Invaders to European Waters

However, the reservoir remains a waterbody susceptible to changes including the advent of new species. Mysid investigations in 2012–2014 revealed five species, Limnomysis benedeni, Paramysis lacustris, P. intermedia, P. bakuensis and Katamysis warpachowskyi, inhabiting the Dnieper Reservoir, and one species, L. benedeni, known to occur in the Dnieper- Donbass Canal. Including the previously reported Hemimysis anomala, the currently known mysid fauna of the Dnieper Reservoir consists of six species. Two of the species, P. intermedia and P. bakuensis, are reported from the reservoir for the first time. Currently, the dominant species in the shallow littoral zone are L. benedeni and P. -
