DISTRIBUTION OF Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. IN THE RIGHT-BANK FOREST-STEPPE OF UKRAINE AND ITS ADAPTIVE POTENTIAL

Abstract

Invasions of alien species have become a global problem worldwide. Our paper presents the results of the study of the chorology of the invasive species Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. within the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (RBFSU). We identified 13 new growth areas in the study area. These studies cover the observation and recording of the phenological behaviour of this species during 2020-2021. Although phenological observations are mainly carried out on cultivated plants, the data obtained as a result of the study is an important resource for preparing an invasive species control plan. Based on the indicators of temperature fluctuations, drought tolerance, light tolerance, relation to soil fertility, reproduction and shoot regeneration of A. artemisiifolia, a scoring method was proposed using the coefficient of complex adaptive potential (CCAP). However, our work is a pioneering study aimed at counteracting the spread of alien plants.

Yabancı türlerin istilası dünya çapında küresel bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Çalışmamızda, Ukrayna Sağ-Banka Orman-Bozkırında (RBFSU) istilacı Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. türünün korolojisi üzerine yapılan bir çalışmanın sonuçları sunulmaktadır. Yeni habitatlar tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmalar, 2020-2021 yılları arasında bu türün fenolojik davranışlarının gözlemlenmesini ve kaydedilmesini kapsamaktadır. Fenolojik gözlemler esas olarak kültür bitkileri üzerinde gerçekleştirilse de, çalışma sonucunda elde edilen veriler istilacı tür kontrol planı hazırlamak için önemli bir kaynaktır. Ambrosia artemisiifolia'nın sıcaklık dalgalanmaları, kuraklık toleransı, ışık toleransı, toprak verimliliği ile ilişkisi, üreme ve sürgün rejenerasyonu göstergelerine dayanarak, karmaşık adaptif potansiyel katsayısı (CCAP) kullanılarak bir puanlama yöntemi önerilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, çalışmamız yabancı bitkilerin yayılmasına karşı koymayı amaçlayan öncü bir çalışmadır.
