The data obtained will make it possible to summarize up-to-date information about the state of ecosystems with invasive plant species, predict their further spread, and develop a strategy to control them. The objects of research were natural ecosystems of Zhetysu oblast, confined to the Balkhash-Alakol and Zhongar-Alatau floristic districts. To identify alien species, monitoring sites were laid with the calculation of native species, introduced species, the species prone to naturalization, and those with self-seeding. The aggressiveness of naturalized species was assessed according to a modernized scale developed at the Institute of Botany and Phytointroduction, Committee of Forestry and Wildlife, Ministry of Ecology, Geology, and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The territory under study includes two State National Nature Parks and a State Nature Reserve. Eighty-one alien species of woody plants have been identified within settlements and adjacent territories. Some of them are included in the cultivated flora, which do not show a tendency to naturalization in the region. Seventeen species of alien woody plants have been identified in natural ecosystems, which have the potential for naturalization with a high propensity for seed and vegetative reproduction. The percentage of sites with the presence of invasive species varies from 61 to 91%. The highest aggressiveness score (6–8) was assigned to six species: <i>Acer negundo</i> L., <i>Ulmus pumila</i> L., <i>Quercus robur</i> L., <i>Prunus</i> × <i>domestica</i>, <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i>, <i>Ulmus laevis</i> Pall<i>.</i>. Despite the fact that, in the Alakol and Sarkand districts, most of the territory falls within the dry-steppe and semidesert zones, only 8.6% of sites without types of invasive fraction were noted, owing to widespread dispersion of particularly aggressive “edificators”: <i>A. negundo</i>, <i>U. pumila</i>, etc. All identified species mesophytic by their nature in the secondary range show themselves highly adaptive, plastic, and competitive in xerophytic conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":44218,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Invasions","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140563967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plant species under threat of extinction are being studied especially carefully, and the cases of degradation of phytocenoses are being investigated. Invasive flora needs to be assessed in nature conservation areas. One of the reasons for the loss of unique natural ecosystems is the invasion of alien organisms, which explains the relevance of the study. The main purpose of this publication is to study the spread of invasive plant species on the territory of the nature sanctuary “Forested Ravine near the Village of Vlasievo” in Moscow oblast. During the field routes in 2017–2022, various biotopes were examined on an area of about 98 ha. The invasive flora includes 15 species, among which <i>Heracleum sosnowskyi</i> is the most active. Assessment of the degree of naturalization of invasive species in protected areas showed that in most species this process is slower than on average in Moscow oblast, in the neighboring Ryazan oblast, and in general in Central Russia. Probably, this trend is due to a weak degree of anthropogenic disturbance of the territory and a low number of alien individuals. At the same time, the expansion of <i>H. sosnowsky</i> was noted in the protected areas, leading to a partial change in the vegetation cover and the composition of the native flora, including rare and protected species. Satellite monitoring made it possible to determine the approximate period of penetration of <i>H. sosnowskyi</i> and to estimate the rate of its spread across protected areas. The identified alien taxa, namely, <i>Acer negundo</i>, <i>Amelanchier spicata</i>, <i>Impatiens parviflora</i>, <i>Echinocystis lobata</i>, <i>Bidens frondosa</i>, <i>Erigeron annuus</i>, and <i>E. canadensis</i>, are among the 100 most dangerous invasive species on the territory of the Russian Federation, which are capable of increasing the invasive potential in the case of violations of the environmental regime of protected areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":44218,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Biological Invasions","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140563958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this work is to study the structure of trematode communities in settlements of <em>L. naticoides</em> formed by 2019 in the upper parts of these water bodies. It is found that, in both reservoirs, the species composition of trematodes is similar and includes <em>Apophallus muehlingi</em> (Jägerskiöld, 1899), <em>Apophallus</em> (=<em>Rossicotrema</em>) <em>donicus</em> (Skrjabin et Lindtrop, 1919), <em>Parasymphylodora markewitschi</em> Kulakowskaja, 1947, <em>Nicolla skrjabini</em> (Iwanitzky, 1928), and <em>Sanguinicola volgensis</em> (Razin, 1929). The density of <em>L. naticoides</em> varies from 30 to 50 ind./m² in the shallows of the Rybinsk Reservoir and from 50 to 520 ind./m² in the Uglich Reservoir, where the mollusk is found at the depth of 2–9 m. In August 2019, the prevalence of parthenitae varied at different degrees even in relatively flowing upper parts of the reservoirs similar in hydrological characteristics: <em>Apophallus</em> spp. (32.01 and 11.45%), <em>P. markewitschi</em> (9.14 and 7.63%), <em>N. skrjabini</em> (16.57 and 7.63%), <em>S. volgensis</em> (19.43 and 63.36%).
