TO THE ISSUE OF INDICATORS OF BIOLOGICALLY VALUABLE FORESTS IN PROTECTED AREAS by Angelika A. Gaivoronslaya, Marina V. Dolganova, Vladimir T. Demikhov, Olga N. Chigrai, Dmitry I. Chuchin

“…The smallest participation of advents in the composition of local floras is represented in the protected areas «Orlovskie Dvoriki» (2%) and «Petrovskoe Swamp » (3%). Conclusion. The conducted research made it possible to establish priority risk factors for forest biogeocenoses: insufficient area for the protection and reproduction of forests; recreation and location in developed areas; lack of a buffer zone necessary for the conservation and reproduction of edificatory species; introduction of adventive species into forest biogeocenoses and their naturalization; A special risk factor is the fragmentation of the territory and, as a consequence, the mosaic nature of plant communities, including the replacement of standard (quasi-native) communities with derivative, oligodominant ones. …”
