ASSESSMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY OF LAND OF SLOBOZHANSKY NATIONAL NATURE PARK FOR DEER-LIVING RESIDENCE

Abstract

Assessing the productivity of deer habitats is of both theoretical and practical importance for the Slobozhansky National Nature Park. In order to preserve and adjust the number of deer, namely elk, wild boar, red deer and European roe deer, the NNP "Slobozhansky" identified the need to determine the possible productivity of land for deer. A review of literature sources and regulations has shown that in Ukraine today, there is no methodology for assessing the suitability of the territory for nature reserves. While there is a development of the State Committee of Forestry of Ukraine, the order approving the "Procedure for streamlining hunting grounds", which is dedicated to the evaluation of hunting grounds [1]. Thus, despite the contradictions between the tasks of nature protection and hunting, both tasks are aimed at adjusting the number of individuals of certain species of fauna. One of the important areas that is common is the work on the assessment of natural conditions and resources for the habitat of certain species of animals in a given area. Excellent, in turn, is the ultimate goal: for the protection of nature - is the preservation and reproduction, control of animal populations, for hunters - control over the presence of the maximum number of animals for hunting. That is why, in the absence of a methodology for the objects of the nature reserve fund, we consider it expedient to consider materials on the arrangement of hunting grounds. To assess living conditions, as the main source of data, the taxonomic description of land plots of the forest fund of Parkhomovsky nature protection research department was used, containing: information on allocations of each quarter of NNP their
