Database manager(s): Tetiana Dziuba (tdziuba2014@gmail.com); Svitlana Iemelianova (yemelianova.sv@gmail.com)
Owner: Dziuba Tetiana
Scope: Relevés of vegetation forming on sandy soils in Ukraine
Abstract: Database contains 1678 geobotanical relevés. It uses TURBOVEG software and is located at the M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv). It includes communities of psammophytic vegetation (classes Helichryso-Crucianelletea maritimae, Festucetea vaginatae, Koelerio-Corynephoretea canescentis). This database became the basis for a critical revision of the relevant syntaxons and the book “Prodrome of the vegetation of Ukraine” (2019). The information is also used for the analysis of coenoflora, and studies of vegetation dynamics. The tasks of assessing the ecosystem and species diversity of vegetation, identifying sociological groups of species, ordination and phytoindication of habitats of plant communities are tackled.
