NEW LOCATIONS OF THE SIBERIAN FOREST IN THE FLOODPLAINS OF THE RIVERS OF THE KHOPRA BASIN

Preservation of biodiversity, ecosystems, individual plant species and their habitats is of paramount importance. The article describes habitats of Siberian proleska not typical for the species – floodplains of the rivers Vetlyanka and Melik, tributaries of the Khopr 2 and 4 orders. In cenopopulations generative specimens are present in rather large numbers – 44,2 on the Vetlyanka river and 159,4 specimens on the Melik river per 100 m2. In floristic environment there are species characteristic for overmoistened habitats. Habitats are not subjected to anthropogenic influence. It is necessary to monitor price populations and preservation of these ecotopes as a possible optimal existence of Scilla siberica.
