History of study of Marginal and External Gorgany flora’s

Abstract

The retrospective analysis of Marginal and External Gorgany flora’s history study from 19th century up to now has been carried out. The literary and herbarium sour­ces (Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (LW), State Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (LWS), Jagiellonian University (KRA), Władysław Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences (KRAM)), the largest number of were collected by J. Berko, Т. Kuzyarin, J. Mądalski, K. Маlynovs’kyj) were taken into consideration. Nowadays, the inventory and generalized analyses of vascular plants flora of region is absent. Therefore, the results of studies in forestry, nature conservation, phytosociology and history of vegetation cover have been used as sources of indirect information about studied subject. Two periods of investigation were classificated by K. Маlynovs’kyj, 2005: pre-ukrainian (includes Austro-Hungarian, Polish-Czechoslovakian-Romanian subperiods, 1772–1939) and Ukrainian period (since 1939). The largest part of data on flora of the Marginal and External Gorgany were obtained during the Ukrainian period. The objectives of study of regional flora are analysed. Habitats of rare plant species require moni­toring applying modern methods. Special attention should be paid to flora of alokhton part, specifically, invasive species. Estimation of the most valuable territories and working out of effective measures of protection and ma­na­gement are urgent.
