Noticeable differences were revealed in the nature of correlations between the number of species of adventitious and native flora fractions and environmental factors: climate and relief. In the region, the number of native species is negatively related to air temperature, evaporation rates, and water deficit, while adventive species show a positive relationship with these characteristics. Adventive species are more often found in gently sloping lowlands in polygons characterized by increased elevation differences and drainage area. In general, adventitious species are more associated with semi-arid conditions in sites with relatively high ranges of environmental factors and standard deviation. Multiple regression showed that adventive species are more closely related to environmental factors than native species. In the region, adventive species are distributed predominantly in places (ecotopes) with increased environmental heterogeneity. An analysis of the relationships with environmental factors of the studied fractions may indicate that their distribution on the test sites is consistent, as a result of which they do not show opposition, which is also confirmed by the weak positive relationship between the richness of their species.</p>","PeriodicalId":49586,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimated the number of seedlings from the SSB of pine forests located near the Karabash copper smelter (KCS) (contaminated by Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd) and from uncontaminated forests of the Ilmen State Reserve (ISR). In both areas, samples of the forest litter and humus horizon were taken from forests recently exposed to ground fires and long-term unburned forests. Samples were exhibited from June to September, conducting seven rounds of counting seedlings. Small peculiarities of the emergence of seedlings on the samples of the forest litter and the humus horizon were established. However, the regularities of the reaction of SSB to pollution and fire disturbances did not depend on the soil horizon. The number of seedlings on substrates from contaminated forests was 5–8 times lower than the number of seedlings on substrates from background forests. A decrease in the number of seedlings on polluted substrates was accompanied by an increase in the share of dicots in the total number of seedlings. The relationship between the number of seedlings and the age of fires was not found. The additivity of the consequences of pollution and fires has also not been established.

The paper presents long-term results (from 10 to 38 years) of studies of the dynamics of annual growth of 11 widespread hygro- and hydrophilic species of sphagnum mosses. Based on fluctuations in the average annual growth data during the years of study, the largest increases were observed for <i>Sphagnum riparium</i> (140 mm) and <i>S. obtusum</i> (93 mm), growing in heavily watered bog areas and not withstanding drying out; medium growths of <i>S. fallax</i> (65 mm), <i>S. subsecundum</i> (57 mm), <i>S. majus</i> (42 mm), <i>S. balticum</i> (36 mm), and <i>S. warnstorfii</i> (28 mm) are found in low-flow watered bogs, hollows, and on carpets; the lowest growth was shown for <i>S. divinum</i> (17 mm), <i>S. centrale</i> (15 mm), <i>S. papillosum</i> (12 mm), and <i>S. fuscum</i> (8 mm), growing on ridges, low hummocks, and carpets under conditions of sharply variable conditions hydration.

Preserving the genetic diversity of rare and endangered diapausing species is important for maintaining ecological systems. The purpose of this work was to compare the surgical model of diapause and the pharmacological model based on injecting DL-α-difluoromethylornithine (DL-α-DFMO) into mice. Another goal was to investigate the intriguing possibility of controlling the state of diapause in vitro by exposing murine embryos to putrescine and/or DL-α-DFMO. Although the pharmacological model <i>a priori</i> seems to be attractive for applying it to other mammalian species besides mice, since it does not require surgical intervention, our results on mice demonstrated that this model is less effective compared to the traditional surgical model of diapause. Our data indicates that the effects of DL-α-DFMO on mouse embryos are mediated via its effect on the uterus, as it was not possible to maintain dormancy state in diapausing embryos in vitro by this agent. Meanwhile, in vitro exposure to putrescine facilitates the re-activation of diapausing embryos, as evidenced by the higher rate of blastocysts adhesion and the more advanced stages of ICM outgrowth compared to controls. Our results on mice presented hereby indicate that the surgical model is more reliable than DL-α-DFMO diapause model. Moreover, our results proved that putrescine is a potent tool to re-activate murine diapausing embryos in vitro; this may be considered an ecologically important issue relevant to the conservation problem.</p>","PeriodicalId":49586,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
