ISBN 978-966-542-622-6 Книга містить описи 173 Важливих ботанічних територій України. Дані про кожну територію включають її площу, географічні координати, критерії виділення, площі оселищ за класифікацією EUNIS, характеристику рослинності, загрози, види людської діяльності, інформацію про природно-заповідні території, список літератури і карту на основі космічної фотографії. The aim of the Important Plant Areas (IPAs) programme is to idenify and protect a network of the best sites for plant conservaion throughout Europe and the rest of the world, using consistent criteria (Anderson, 2002). The ideniicaion of IPAs is based on three criteria. Criterion A – Presence of threatened plant species: the site holds signiicant populaions of one or more species that are of global or regional conservaion concern. Criterion B – Presence of botanical richness: the site has an excepionally rich lora in a regional context in relaion to its biogeographic zone. Criterion C – Presence of threatened habitats: the site is an outstanding example of a habitat or vegetaion type of global or regional plant conservaion and botanical importance. "IPA" is not an oicial designaion. IPAs are selected scieniically using criteria supported by expert scieniic judgement. IPA criteria were published in 2001 (Palmer & Smart 2001). Since then IPA were selected in many countries. In Ukraine, irst six IPAs were ideniied in 2008 (Onyshchenko et al. 2008). In 2012 16 new areas were selected in the Sea of Azov region (Kolomiychuk et. al. 2012). The present book includes informaion about 173 IPAs ideniied within the territory of Ukraine. These data are available also in the IPA database online. IPAs were ideniied in Ukraine mainly using criteria A and C. Criterion A includes subcriteria A(i) (species with categories EX, CR, En and VU in the IUCN database version 2015–4), A(ii) (species listed in Appendix I of the Bern Convenion, Resoluion 6 of the Steering Commitee of the Bern Convenion, or the Red Data Book of European bryophytes), A(iii) (species with categories "endangered" and "vulnerable" in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009) that are considered naional endemics of Ukraine), A(iv) (limited range species with categories "endangered" and "vulnerable" in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009) that are not naional endemics). Totally the Criterion A list for Ukraine has 185 species (table 1): subcriterion A(i) – 23 species, A(ii) – 96, A(iii) – 33, and A(iv) – 65 species. 145 species were used as criteria. A(ii) Important Plant Areas of Ukraine / V.A. Onyshchenko (editor). – Kyiv: Alterpress, 2017. – 376 p. The book contains descripions of 173 Important Plant Areas of Ukraine. Data on each site include its area, geographical coordinates, selecion criteria, areas of EUNIS habitat types, characterizaion of vegetaion, threats, human aciviies, informaion about protected areas, references, and a map on the satelite image background.

Note. The scientific names of plants are given mostly according to the checklist of vascular plants of Ukraine (Mosyakin & Fedoronchuk 1999), with necessary taxonomic and nomenclatural adjustments. However, to avoid confusion, we mainly preserved as "main" names of protected species those names which are listed in the official documents mentioned above, even in the cases when new taxonomic and phylogenetic data dictate changes in their nomenclature. For example, some species of Centaurea are currently placed in segregate genera (e.g., Rhaponticoides, Psephellus), some species of Alyssum were recently transferred to Odontarrhena, etc. In all such cases, the names currently accepted by taxonomists are provided after the names used in the IUCN database, Appendix I of the Bern Convention, Resolution 6 of the Steering Committee of the Bern Convention, the Red Data Book of Ukraine, the Red Data Book of European bryophytes, or in other relevant red lists. Since the present book is not a taxonomic treatment, such usage of plant names should not be viewed as endorsement of alternative taxonomic or nomenclatural decisions. Criterion B was applied only for the EUNIS level 2 habitat G1 Broadleaved deciduous woodland. The indicator species checklist of this habitat contains 77 species. All these species have their opimum in this habitat type and constancy <3% in vegetaion data plots of deciduous woods. Most of them are species with small extent of occurence. Analysis of distribuion of indicator species number in deciduous forests of Ukraine shows that the richest 10% of forests are Crimean forests and some forests of the western part of Ukraine with calcareous rocks (Onyshchenko et al. 2008). Six areas have been selected by this criterion: Krymski Hory, Uholka – Shyrokyi Luh, Verkhniobuzki Lisy, Medobory, Karadah, and Mys Marian. Selected areas contain 6% of the habitat G1 in Ukraine. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 14 Checklist of species for assessment of the botanical richness of habitats type G1: Broadleaved deciduous woodland Taxaceae Taxus baccata L.

Criterion C in our analysis was the presence of habitats from Resluion 4 of the Steering Commitee of the Bern Convenion, 2014 version (table 2). In addiion, one priority habiatat from the Habitats Direcive was used: 4070 Bushes with Pinus mugo and Rhododendron hirsutum (Mugo-Rhododendretum hirsui). The Ukrainian subtype of this habitat (F2.46) is not present in Resoluion 4. For most habitat types we selected maximum ive areas. Main excepions are some habitats correspoding to the priority habitats of the Habiatats Direcive: E1.2 Perennial calcareous grassland and basic steppes (includes 62C0 Ponto-Sarmaic steppes and 6240 Sub-Pannonic steppic grasslands), F3.247 Ponto-Sarmatic deciduous thickets (includes priority habitat type 40C0 Ponto-Sarmatic deciduous thickets), G1.6 Fagus woodland (includes priority habitat type 9150 Medio-European limestone beech forests of the Cephalanthero-Fagion), G1.7 Thermophilous deciduous woodland (includes priority habitat types 91H0 Pannonian woods with Quercus pubescens and 91I0 Euro-Siberian steppic woods with Quercus spp.). The largest number of IPAs are selected for habitat E1.2. Former (and potenial) area of habitat E1.2 in Ukraine is a few tens of imes larger than its current area. At present, the habitat is highly fragmented so ive best sites include only 10% of its area in Ukraine. Besides, ive sites cannot represent the geographical and ecological diversity paterns of steppes. Table 2. Criterion C habitats and corresponding areas.

Threats: development (recreaion/tourism) – low, eutrophicaion – low. General description. The IPA is located in the southern part of the Crimea. It includes Mount Ayu-Dah and a 200-m wide strip of the sea. The main rock type is gabbro. A large area is occupied by low (4–5 m) Quercus pubescens and Carpinus orientalis woods with some presence of Fraxinus angusifoliua, Juniperus excelsa, Sorbus domesica. Low shrubby plants of Ruscus ponicus oten form a dense layer. Major species of the herb layer are Poa sterilis and Luzula forsteri. On the top of the mount, main dominant of the tree layer is Quercus petraea. In the herb layer, Poa sterilis and Luzula forsteri are dominants. The Southern slope is covered by low thickets of Juniperus excelsa, Juniperus oxycedrus, Cistus tauricus, Quercus pubescens. Considerable areas are occupied by screes and outcrops. Litoral habitats are represented by shingle beach and rocks. Botanical significance. Main locality of endemic species Brassica taurica (>80% of global populaion).

A part of the area are typical of Crimea. Mountains of this territory are composed of limestone. Closer to the sea, there prevail volcanic rocks (tufs, liparites). The largest area (about 600 ha) is occupied by mesic Quercus pubescens forests with the shrub layer dominated by Cornus mas. Aegonychon purpureo-caeruleum prevails in the herb layer. Constant species are Acer campestre, Asparagus vericillatus, Carex hallerana, Dictamnus gymnostylis, Laser trilobum, Mercurialis perennis, Paeonia daurica, Physospermum cornubiense, Polygonatum hirtum. Besides there are about 200 ha of dry open Quercus pubescens woods with Paliurus spina-chrisi, Juniperus oxycedrus, Pyrus eleagnifolia, Jasminum fruicans, Coinus coggygria, Rosa canina s.l., Festuca rupicola, Festuca callieri, Elytrigia nodosa. At higer alitudes, there are Quercus petraea woods with dominance or co-dominance of Carpinus betulus, Physospermum cornubiense, Mercurialis perennis, Galanthus plicatus, Corydalis marschalliana and Fraxinus excelsior woods with dominance of Physospermum cornubiense and Ranunculus constantinopolitanus in the herb layer. Open woods of Juniperus excelsa occupy about 37 ha. Steppe vegetaion covers about 400 ha. Typical dominants of the steppe vegetaion are Festuca valesiaca, Festuca callieri, Sipa ponica; species of high constancy: Achillea nobilis, Aegilops triuncialis, Botriochloa ischaemum, Centaurea difusa, Filipendula vulgaris, Galatella villosa, Helianthemum salicifolium, Inula oculus-chrisi, Jurinea sordida, Koeleria cristata, Thesium arvense, Teucrium polium, Veronica capsellicarpa, Velezia rigida. Steppes dominated by Bromopsis cappadocica or Sipa brauneri occur on stony soils. Steppes dominated by Elytrigia nodosa, Agropyron ponicum, A. pecinatum have high constacies of Alyssum 133 hirsutum, Alyssum umbellatum, Bromus squarrosus, Crupina vulgaris, Eryngium campestre, Jurinea stoechadifolia, Poa sterilis. Ephemeral grasslands dominated by Aegilops triuncialis, Anisantha sterilis, Anisantha tectorum occupy about 40 ha. In summer Cynodon dactylon and Elytrigia repens dominate in these places. Major dominants of marine vegetaion on sublitoral rock, boulders and pebble are Cladophora dalmaica, Cladostephus vericillatus, Corallina mediterranea, Cystoseira crinita, Cystosera barbata, Phyllophora nervosa. At oligotrophic sites at depth 1–5 m, there occur communiies co-dominated by Dilophus fasciola f. repens, Polysiphonia opaca, Ceramium ciliatum, Enteromorpha compressa. Polysiphonia elongata and Zanardinia prototypus dominate on sand at depth more than 15 m. Nemalion helminthoides and Laurencia papillosa dominates on litoral rocks, Enteromorpha linza and Ulva rigida – on stones at the water’s edge at eutrophic sites. Decreasing trend in biomass of algae and in area of oligotrophic communiies exists because of eutrophicaion of the sea. Botanical significance. This area is the richest in narrow endemic species part of Ukraine. Flora of Karadah includes two narrow endemic species: Cerasium stevenii, Crataegus pojarkovae.

Land use: mowing/hay making – 1%; forestry – 85%; nature conservaion and research – 100%; tourism and recreaion – minor. Protected areas: included in Sviai Hory naional nature park and Emerald Site “Sviai Hory” (a part of this park belongs to IPA “Zaplava Siverskoho Dintsia”). Threats: development (recreaion/tourism) – low; forestry (aforestaion) – low. General description. The area includes the loodplain of the Siverskyi Donets river (762 ha, medium part of the IPA), sand terrace over the loodplain (7602 ha, northern part) and plateau (2666 ha, southern part). In the loodplain, there prevail Quercus robur forests, lesser areas are covered by Alnus gluinosa and Populus alba forests. Floodplain meadows are dominated by Festuca pratensis, Elytrigia repens, Koeleria delavignei, Phleum pratense, Poa pratensis, Beckmanioa eruciformis, Carex praecox. Dominants of wet habitats are Carex riparia, Phalaroides arundinacea, Phragmites australis, Carex melanostachya, Eleocharis palustris. Sand terrace is occupied by Pinus sylvestris and Pinus silvestris – Quercus robur forests, in depressions – Alnus gluinosa woods. The major dominant of the herb layer in pine forests is Calamagrosis epigeios, other species of high constancy are Pilosella oicinarum, Rumex acetosella, Solidago virgaurea, Tanacetum vulgare. Sand grasslands occupy small area due to ariicial aforestaion. Their dominants are Artemisia tschernieviana, Carex colchica, Festuca beckeri, Koeleria sabuletorum, Thymus pallasianus. South of the Siverskyi Donets river, there are mesic forests dominated by Quercus robur, Fraxinus excelsior, with co-dominance of Acer campestre, Acer platanoides, Tilia cordata. Other constant species: Anemone ranunculoides, Asarum europaeum, Corydalis solida, Corylus avellana, Dentaria quinquefolia, Euonymus europaeus, Euonymus verrucosus, Galium odoratum, Lathyrus vernus, Polygonatum mulilorum, Pulmonaria obscura, Scilla sibirica, Stellaria holostea, Ulmus minor. Insigniicant area is occupied by outcrops (screes) of chalk which are rich in 287 endemic species. Condiion of broadleaved forests of the southern porion of the territory is good. A big part of them belongs to the zone of strict protecion of the naional park, another part – to the zone of regulated recreaion. Mean age of the tree layer is about 90 years. Condiion of pine woods is medium, but it is beter than in most other places of Ukraine. The tree layer is mainly of ariicial origin (plantaion of Pinus sylvestris). Species composiion has natural character and includes endemic species. Northern part of IPA belongs predominantly to the zone of regulated recreaion that does not allow forest clearing. Eforts to establish Pinus sylvestris plantaions prevent forming sand steppes which previously occupied a much larger area. Botanical significance. Important for conservaion of steppe pine forests, mesic deciduous forests and steppe black alder woods.

Complex of Pinus sylvestris forests on luvioglacial sands, with 319 oligotrophic, mesotrophic and eutrophic mires. Most constant species of pine forests are Betula pendula, Dicranum polysetum, Pleurozium schreberi. Oten these species are dominants. Dry lichen forests difer by presence and dominance of Calluna vulgaris, Cladonia rangiferina, Cladonia aplestris, Corynephorus canescens, Polytrichum piliferum. Mesic pine forests have high constancies of Calamagrosis epigeios, Calluna vulgaris, Chamaecyisus zingeri, Festuca ovina. Constant diferenial species of wet pine forests are Frangula alnus, Molinia caerulea, Populus tremula, Quercus robur, Sorbus aucuparia, Vaccinium viis-idaea, Vaccinium myrilus. Swamp pine forests difer from wet ones by presence of Andromeda polifolia, Eriophorum vaginatum, Polytrichum alpestre, Sphagnum cuspidatum, Sphagnum fallax, Vaccinium oxycoccos (Oxycoccus palustris), Vaccinium uliginosum. Constant species of raised bogs are Andromeda polifolia, Betula pubescens, Calluna vulgaris, Eriophorum vaginatum, Ledum palustre, Vaccinium oxycoccos, Pinus sylvestris, Polytrichum alpestre, Sphagnum centrale, Sphagnum cuspidatum, Sphagnum fallax, on hummocks – Sphagnum magellanicum. Usually they have an open tree layer of low Pinus sylvestris and Betula pubescens. Most frequent dominants of the lower layers are Eriophorum vaginatum, Sphagnum cuspidatum, Sphagnum fallax. Transiion mires usually are dominated by Carex lasiocarpa, Sphagnum recurvum s.l., Sphagnum cuspidatum. Oten they have a tree layer of Pinus sylvestris and Betula pubescens. Other constant species are Eriophorum vaginatum and Polytrichum alpestre. Eutrophic mires are dominated by Carex elata and Carex rostrata. Botanical significance. Important for conservation of mires and pine forests.
