Biodiversity of the Regional Landscape Park Samara Plavni within the first large reservoir in Europe Biodiversity of the Regional Landscape Park Samara Plavni within the first large reservoir in Europe

The creation of reservoirs in river valleys for the accumulation fresh water has been and remains an important issue around world. This process both positive negative consequences people nature. Significant changes regime rivers their valleys, flooding meadows forests, soils composition flora fauna adjacent territories are taking place. In this article, we consider restoration biodiversity a site disturbed lands after one first large Europe – Dnieper (Zaporozhe) on River Dnieper, which existed since 1933. territory Samara floodplains was formed floodplain mouth River, as result various forest, meadow bog biotopes were flooded. For almost 90 years, new have developing, populations plant animal species, especially waterfowl, renewed enriched. conditions climate change anthropogenic pressure, existence fallen into question. To control conservation biodiversity, it is necessary to apply management methods, nature reserves. article presents results complex scientific studies that carried out during zoning regional park Plavni improve protection areas banks. We investigated: hydrological features, species diversity coenotic vegetation, aquatic invertebrates, terrestrial vertebrates. Zoning Regional Landscape Park based stable components ecosystems. When applying protected different zones, will be created preservation habitats including those Europe: higher plants (Senecio borysthenicus (DC.) Andrz. ex Czern., Tragopogon borystenicus Artemcz.), reptiles (Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758), Vipera renardi (Christoph, 1861)), birds (Aythya ferina Vanellus vanellus Haematopus ostralegus Linnaeus, 1758, Numenius arquata Alcedo atthis Lanius excubitor 1758)), mammals (Lutra lutra 1758)). Such would increase implementation reproductive potential all without exception studied
